Putting a Hand on the World
(Relative Pitch)

Open Space

Marc, Lemuel
Replace The Population
(Relative Pitch)
Boston-based trumpeter Lemuel Marc's solo album explores the physicality of breath and the mechanics of the trumpet in ten free improvisations recorded in New York between 2023 and 2024, embracing buzzing, flutter tonguing, and whisper tones in a non-idiomatic approach inspired by Wadada Leo Smith's notion that the trumpet is "really made out of air."
Kawashima, Makoto
arteria
(Relative Pitch)
A wild solo performance recorded at GOKsound in Tokyo by Japanese alto saxophonist Makoto Kawashima, whose intense and introspective improvisations balance fierce tonal expression with fragile silences, drawing from the lineage of Abe and Shiraishi while establishing his own haunting and highly individual voice in the realm of free improvisation.
Cimini, Amy
See You When I Get There
(Relative Pitch)
The first solo album from West Coast violist Amy Cimini, blending amplified distortion, percussive textures, and spacious effects into a deeply personal and genre-blurring performance that channels experimental noise, tuneful abstraction, and the spirit of feminist rock and protest music into a resonant and evocative sonic journey.

Exhaust [CD + DOWNLOAD]
(Relative Pitch)
Recorded live in Berlin, the debut from Camila Nebbia's working trio with Kit Downes and Andrew Lisle captures six dynamic, unrestrained pieces that navigate shifting textures and rhythms, fractured lyricism, and tightly woven interplay, avoiding individual soloing as the group explores contrast and transformation through raw energy, deep listening, and collective momentum.

Nine investigations on the violin and two on the viola from Berlin composer and improviser Maria I.J.

Garcia, Violeta
FOBIA
(Relative Pitch)
The second album from Argentinian cellist, composer and improviser Violeta Garcia, exploring the amplified, prepared, expanded and extended violoncello through 15 succinct solo expositions in an album that she describes as a "very hyper-sensitive monster", using unconventional, extended and sometimes terrifying technique amidst powerful creative expression.
Lipscomb, Jon
Conscious Without Function
(Relative Pitch)
Swedish guitar improviser Jon Lipscomb (LOPLOP, Swedish Fix) takes his listeners on a rugged trip across the strings, using distortion, tremolo and rapid-fire technique as he mines territories between free improv, noise and rock, his nimble mind stopping to explore areas of interest then cascading into new, turbulent environments; frightfully powerful.
Clotet, Amidea
Trasluz
(Relative Pitch)
Sorollets i catxarros—noises and rattles—from Barcelona electric guitarist and free improviser Amidea Clotet, who explores unusual possibilites from the instrument through textural approaches and amplification, evoking unusual soundscapes of inexplicable sound from the body, hardware and strings of the guitar, in seven unusual and fascinating expositions.

All Across The Universe

Radiesthesie
(UnRec)
Leveraging the resonance of a Romanesque chapel, the duo of reedists Bertrand Gauguet and Jean-Luc Petit bring together alto and baritone saxophones with contrabass clarinet and sopranino in five improvisations whose instrument pairings shift from track to track, the changing light and hour colouring breath, multiphonics and resonance into patient spectral dialogues of evolving harmonics.

(Akousis Records)
An epic collaboration between saxophone and real-time electronics recorded at La Muse en Circuit in France, where Bertrand Gauguet's breath, multiphonics, and shifting overtones are continuously transformed by Kasper T.

Clastic
(Confront)
The cross-continental trio of Cheryl E. Leonard, Tom Djll, and Bryan Day create an improvised electro-acoustic environment of equal voices, blending trumpet with attachments and electronics, invented instruments, homemade synths, driftwood, shells, bones, feathers, and field recordings in a dynamic performance recorded in Albany, NY and San Pablo, CA, mastered by Thomas Dimuzio.
Rose, Simon / Nicola Hein
Moon
(Confront)
A 2020 Berlin recording uniting British baritone saxophonist Simon Rose and German guitarist/electronic musician Nicola L.

Kaiser, Henry / Kurt Newman
After
(Fractal)
Guitarists Henry Kaiser and Kurt Newman engage in free improvisations inspired by classic songs they love — not covers, but intuitive commentaries recorded after listening to tracks by Pink Floyd ("See Emily Play"), The Who, ZZ Top, Fleetwood Mac, Richard Thompson, &c. — creating spontaneous, exploratory duets that reinterpret familiar sonic memories through raw, imaginative abstraction.
