ECN55: Dolphins into the Future “The Snake, the Frog and the Argument” audio tape (October 2026)
Dolphins into the Future presents 3 compositions recorded between 2017 and 2026, brought together by an interest in fragmented narratives. The Habu moves through the troubled histories and spectral landscapes of the Ryukyu Islands; The Frog leaps; and A Transcript revisits an overheard argument in a harbour café, unfolding across three different perspectives.
ECN54: Koeosaeme “Makuhari” audio tape (October 2026)
Tokyo-based artist Ryu Yoshizawa (Koeosaeme), who previously worked with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, explores Kaihin-Makuhari, a futuristic coastal district built on reclaimed land outside Tokyo. Following releases on Orange Milk Records, Makuhari combines field recordings, synthesizers and custom-built audio systems into a surreal impression of a planned city, drifting between its imagined future and former oceanic past.
ECN53: Roxane Métayer, Katya Shirshkova, Sara Eelen “Périodique des Chemins Boueux / Herbes Étincelles“ booklet + CD (June 2026)
“Like Peter Brötzmann and Han Bennink's landmark 'Schwarzwaldfahrt', Brussel's based artist Roxane Métayer's collaboration with vocalist Katya Shirshkova is in conversation with nature itself, in this case Belgium's lush Doode Bemde nature reserve that acts as the backdrop to the duo's performance” (Boomkat)
ECN52.2: JC Leisure Group “Low Tide, Hi Grypus!” audio tape (October 2026)
JC Leisure Group presents an extraordinary encounter between human improvisers and Atlantic grey seals! Recorded live in Berlin, this album brings together pedal steel, flute, strings, piano and electronics with seal vocalisations. The first edition sold out right away, and a second edition is now available!
ECN51.2: Adriaan de Roover “Chanson de Trottoir / Stoepliedjes” audio tape (October 2026)
Adriaan de Roover weaves together a walk trough Brussels and samples from local hip-hop group STIKSTOF, of Zwangere Guy fame. Somewhere between a radio play and a daydream. The first cassette edition sold out immediately, so we’re happy to announce a second edition!
