“Trapped in Rap,” the second single from the upcoming album of Otto Orany (@otto_orany), is now available!

With “10 Blue-Penciled Stories,” Otto Orany continues to carve out one of the most distinctive voices emerging from the Czech Republic today—a composer and artist who resists easy categorization. Orany thrives in hybrid territory, moving fluidly between classical composition, electronic experimentation, and jazz, often within the span of a single piece. For this record, he has assembled a remarkable lineup of collaborators: a true chamber ensemble at its core, enriched by the grounding pulse of drums and bass that give the music an unmistakably rock-rooted physicality. Ten stories rendered in sound, each one a world unto itself.

“Something to Remember” by @juan.j.ochoa is now available!

🔈Available exclusively via @bandcamp and @soundohm on VINYL and DOWNLOAD

And two more things:

The album release show is taking place at @byronllibreria tonight!

The second single from the album, “Night Bus,” is now available on all platforms!

“Something to Remember” marks a significant new chapter for pianist and composer Juan J. Ochoa, exploring the intimate territories between acoustic and electronic sound worlds. Through prepared piano, traditional piano, and subtle electronic processing, Ochoa crafts a deeply personal sonic meditation that bridges experimental technique with emotional immediacy. The album showcases his distinctive approach to the instrument—treating the piano not just as a melodic or harmonic device, but as a complex sound-generating organism capable of unexpected timbral transformations. Each preparation becomes a compositional decision, reshaping the piano’s voice while maintaining the raw physicality and resonance that make the instrument so compelling.

Big announcement: Our new record TRASH ISLAND comes out one week from TODAY. 🙀

Trash Island envisions a future where all of humanity lives on a floating island of waste. Wielding imaginative compositions by the whole band, an irreverence towards the conventions of genre, and a sharp, surrealist lens, the album reflects both the emotional weight and bizarre reality of the climate crisis. Welcome to the island of trash future humanity calls home: the last inhabitable place on earth, a sprawling metropolis of plastic in all forms. 🗑

“Silver Hands,” the second single from the debut album of Kathryn Schulmeister (@kcs.bass), is now available!

“Imagining Hands” is the debut solo project of Kathryn Schulmeister. The album, which comprises double bass, voice, and electronics, draws on the story of “The Handless Maiden,” as told in traditional folklore and in the writings of Clarissa Pinkola Estés, and traces a path through loss, endurance, and transformation. Each piece is shaped through a mix of composition and improvisation, with predetermined forms that leave space for intuition and discovery. At its core, this work is about learning how to stay, to listen, and to grow stronger through what is difficult, and about rebuilding, or imagining, a voice from within.

Video for STAY OPTIMISTIC
From the album NEW HOME of POL TONIN. It was released on PROTOMATERIAL RECORDS in April 2026 (first single in Februay, second in March)

This album started as an album about abstract ideas about architecture and turned out to be an intimate album dealing with family issues. I guess this happened because my wife became pregnant during the composing process and I suddendly landed in a mind changing phase of my life. I understood that I have to come over old wounds, to get rid of old luggage, etc. to become a good father for my kid. So my songs turned very personal. Technically I decided to combine my experience in improvised music with my expertise in writing songs. And the result is the most authentic work I ever did. I recorded all instruments myself, used a couple of field recordings and turned my country house into a music studio for a few months. All curcumstances became very intimate, which made me finding the courage to show a very fragile side of my music.

Review from @apricot.mag
Dear Father and Mother are perhaps the most harrowing anchors of the collection. They are jagged excavations of the ancestry we carry into new chapters, whether we want to or not. Pabst, who was born in Vienna in 1971 and cut his teeth in his father’s Munich gallery, understands the weight of legacy. These pieces move with a quiet, infinite whirling, refusing to resolve into easy comfort. Instead, they sit in the void, acknowledging that becoming a parent requires a symbolic death of the former self. The sound mirrors the architecture of a life being rebuilt from the foundation up, where every beam is tested by the pressure of ancestral memory.

Presentación del disco Sis poemes de Cesc Pla Santamans @osbrucat1714 con música de @raipazc grabado por @protomaterial con @lsurtu al piano y una servidora ….. en el @palaumusicacat, fotos de José Casanova

Crear hoy en día es de por sí una revolución, crear conjuntamente es directamente anarquista, y confeccionar un disco (un disco!!) de Lied HOY, y completamente a pulmón, es una especie de fenomenología sobrenatural.
Es por este tipo de proyectos que me honra poder cantar, para hacer sonar este entusiasmo conjunto, esta valentía de poner foco en medio de este caos y que algo nuevo crezca. Cómo negarse a subirse a semejante tren al ser invitada, uno que barre con todas las preguntas existenciales que se puede hacer uno por la mañana (o por la noche, tarde) que empiezan en general con un ‘para qué’? Pues, para esto. Y para que después lo escuches…
Es imposible distanciarse políticamente cuando se trata de arte y su contemporaneidad, y para mí esto es una revolución.

About Aphrodite (@about_aphrodite), the duo formed by theremin and saxophone player Gilda Razani and pianist and electronic artist Hanzō Wanning, releases “Sartschubeh,” the first single from their upcoming album, “Songs Without Words.”

“Songs Without Words” is About Aphrodite’s most fully realized statement yet—an album that moves through the world without needing a passport, drawing from Persian folk tradition, jazz, chamber music, and electronic texture to build something entirely its own. The duo of Gilda Razani and Hanzō Wanning has a rare gift for holding opposites in suspension: dreamy lightness and deep longing, meticulous arrangement and spontaneous flight, the intimate and the expansive. Percussionist Fethi Ak joins the duo on several tracks, adding a third pulse to an already richly layered sound. The result is a record that disolves the borders between genres entirely.

Fantast (@fantastband), the Viennese duo formed by brothers Daniel and Mario Gschwendtner, release their new single “Fortune Fades Away,” the third taste of their forthcoming EP “Beast Within”, out via Protomaterial Records.

“Fortune Fades Away” is an upbeat yet pointed allegory of capitalism and economic instability, framed through the lens of a high-stakes poker game where the protagonist watches their fortune slip away hand by hand. The track channels the thrill and precariousness of the gamble as a metaphor for life under an economic system defined by volatility and chance.
