Squidco Previously Played Albums - 50% Off Selected Used CDs

This weekend we're taking 50% off the prices previously listed on a large selection of used CDs! Most are lightly played copies that we opened to catalog the new albums listed on Squidco, and unless otherwise noted they're in near-mint condition. It's a great opportunity to explore recordings you may have missed, fill some gaps in your collection, or take a chance on something unfamiliar at a substantial discount. Quantities are extremely limited -- in most cases we have only a single copy -- so have a look before they're gone!

View the List of 50% OFF Used CDs

50% discounts end Sunday, September 27, 2026 at 23:59 EDT (UTC-4). Prices shown are the sale prices. While quantities last; sold-out items will disappear from the store.

Rose, Jon: Rosenberg Museum [5 CDs]
(Relative Pitch)

A five-CD survey of Jon Rose's Rosenberg Museum, the violinist's decades-long Gesamtkunstwerk of invented, altered and repurposed string instruments, documenting a practice that treats the violin as a limitless field for acoustic experiment, cultural critique and sonic invention, with John Oswald contributing to this expansive archive of new instruments, new sounds and unstable musical histories.

Jazz & Improvisation

Brynes, Ted / Jeph Jerman: Play Drums
(Krim Kram)

Percussionists Ted Byrnes and Jeph Jerman follow their 2023 collaboration Passenger with ten entirely acoustic drum-set improvisations created through iterative file exchange, exploiting heads, rims, shells, hardware and resonant surfaces for dense collisions of impact, scrape, rattle, fractured pulse and finely detailed interaction, dedicated to their friend and inspiration Tim Barnes.

Corsano, Chris / Tashi Dorji: Live at Ritual Botanica [VINYL]
(Feeding Tube Records)

Drummer Chris Corsano and guitarist Tashi Dorji unleash a volatile live duo set recorded in Asheville, North Carolina, moving between polyrhythmic free-jazz eruptions, fractured rock grooves, angular riffing, feedback, and psychedelic noise in a fiercely interactive performance that captures both players at their most restless, physical, and responsive.

FEN (Yoshihide / Hankil / Wai / Jun): 4 � 4
(Meenna)

On their sixth album, FEN — Otomo Yoshihide, Ryu Hankil, Yuen Chee Wai, and Yan Jun — present four 15-minute works originally devised for the 2018 Gwangju Biennale, combining guitar, electronics, Max/MSP, and field recordings through a blind process of cutting, rearranging, and chance-based assembly that turns separation, chance, and juxtaposition into the music's organizing principles.

Hanson, Nathan / Steve Hirsh: Memory Is Subjective
(Mahakala Music)

Saxophonist Nathan Hanson on tenor and soprano joins drummer Steve Hirsh for three spontaneously composed improvisations recorded in Sandstone, Minnesota, developing an intuitive dialogue of lyrical and fractured reed lines, shifting rhythmic momentum, texture, and silence as the two allow form to emerge entirely through attentive, moment-to-moment interaction.

Ikeda, Ken / Roger Turner: An Asura In Spring
(Ftarri)

Ken Ikeda on synthesizer and Roger Turner on a reduced kit of snare, floor tom, hi-hat, and cymbals reunite for two extended live improvisations in Tokyo, developing a finely balanced electroacoustic dialogue of hovering electronic tones, metallic resonance, sparse percussion, and sudden dynamic shifts shaped through close, responsive listening.

Kammerer, Margareth: The Garden
(Ftarri Uta)

Berlin-based singer, guitarist and composer Margareth Kammerer gathers nine songs recorded between 2007 and 2019 with Chris Abrahams, Werner Dafeldecker, Axel Dörner, Steve Heather, Bernd Jestram, Big Daddy Mugglestone, Valerio Tricoli and Bo Wiget, blending intimate song form, restrained improvisation and electroacoustic detail across music originally developed in part for film.

Le Vice Anglais: allons-y
(4DaRecord)

Portuguese duo Ricardo Guerra Pires (electric guitar) and Bruno Parrinha (alto saxophone) follow their debut vas-y with thirteen intense free improvisations using live electronic processing and loops to transform their instruments into dense layers of industrial noise, fractured free jazz, glissandi, distortion and resonant detail, balancing abrasive sonic force with remarkably controlled interaction.

Olencki, Weston / Bascaille: The Mortgage Burn
(Relative Pitch)

Composed by Weston Olencki and performed by Rimouski percussion trio Bascaille - Tom Jacques, Antoine Létourneau-Berger and Noam Bierstone - this tactile set uses fiddles, homemade zithers, found debris, piano, guitar, motors, speakers and electronics to build ritualistic, unstable sound worlds of friction, resonance and lopsided pulse, including a transformation of the Québécois "Reel de Rimouski."

Pavone, Jessica (Pavone / Frith / Lally): ...Is In the Air
(Relative Pitch)

Jessica Pavone expands her long-running solo viola practice with effects and guest contributions from Fred Frith on guitar and Joe Lally on bass, using open-string resonances, electronic texture, and remotely developed collaborative material to create a set of compositions that balance solitude, resonance, and carefully structured interaction.

Savant Flaneur (Krahn / Salnikowski): Hocketus
(577 Records)

Winnipeg duo Savant Flaneur — cellist Nathan Krahn and violinist Gage Salnikowski, both on electronics — improvise within a series of custom Max/MSP systems that alternately interrupt, constrain, redirect, and rebalance their interaction, producing five works that move through free improvisation, noise, drone, and experimental chamber music.

Valencia, Maria / Leonel Kaplan: Translucidas Criaturas Pulsantes
(Relative Pitch)

Colombian reedist María Valencia on alto saxophone and clarinet joins Argentine cornetist Leonel Kaplan for eight finely detailed improvisations recorded in Belgrade, developing patient dialogues of breath, resonance, extended technique and fragile lyricism that shift between sparse isolated gestures, intertwined textures and unexpectedly animated exchanges.
