Five pieces of musique concrète recorded in the GRM studios between 1971 and 1974 by the composer and pioneering video artist.

Four purely electroacoustic pieces recorded between 1994 and 2002 by the Argentine composer and theorist.

Drawing from Lisa Lerkenfeldt's field work and electroacoustic practices, piano, cello and tape loop arrangements light up lost chambers and underground histories in a patchwork of reflective musique concrète, instrumental composition and surreal cinema.

Trances, Jules Reidy's follow-up to the celebrated World in World (2022), gathers twelve tracks shifting between fragment and epic, returning to familiar phrases between forays outward into uncertain expanses. Through its exploration of the cyclical movements of grief and emotional turbulence, Trances produces a sonic world as raw, absorbing, and surprising as anything Reidy has created to date.

A split album as part of the GRM Portraits series bringing together two pieces by Félicia Atkinson and Richard Chartier.

The second collaboration between Stephen O'Malley and Anthony Pateras, this time entirely acoustic, based around an acoustic guitar and prepared piano: a music that seems suspended, captivating by its almost organic coherence and modal simplicity, behind which resonances and subtle plays of pitch develop.

Ákos Rózmann's Mass consists of twelve electroacoustic compositions created between 1989 and 2004 in the composer's studio and at EMS in Stockholm. Like most of Rózmann's compositions, Mass is a long-form work with a duration of around seven hours. 

The complete version of electro-acoustic composer Ákos Rózmann's epic masterpiece 12 Stations presented for the first time in its entirety as a deluxe 7CD set.

An electroacoustic piece composed between 1984 and 1989, inspired by the ancient theory of the four elements and exploring the notions of matter and its transformation.

Where Ben Vida's music has previously explored the sound of text at the outer register of electronic composition, here, in collaboration with the Yarn/Wire quartet and the vocalist Nina Dante, the voice and the words it works to inhabit are placed back at the time-scale of a song.

A vinyl release composed by Alexandre Babel in close collaboration with artist Latifa Echakhch, featuring significant contributions from the Berlin based musicians Rebecca Lenton, Theo Nabicht, Jon Heilbron and Nikki Schlierf. The record is meant to accompany the eponymous exhibition at the Swiss pavilion of the 59th Venice Art Biennale.

A 16-channel piece composed between 2016 and 2020, inspired by astrophysics, the mystery of the pre-Big Bang era and some of the uncanny motions of the unconscious mind, where strangeness meets the ordinary, in memoriam Bernard Baschet, Bernard Parmegiani and Carlos Pellegrino.

François Bonnet's new album, more vaporous, immersive and evocative than ever, explores a wide range of sound sources and techniques to blur musical codes and leave room for memory imprints.

An exploration of the shifting acoustic ecology of the Western Isles.

Two previously unreleased recordings of Peter Rehberg (1968-2021), live performances given at the GRM which, each in their own way, vividly illustrate the extent of his sonic palette.

A masterstroke of contemporary musique concrète and auditory conceptualism, dense with metaphor, allegory and meaning.

A poetic and "environmental" record, weaving delicate instrumentals with spoken word.

The third collaboration between Félicia Atkinson and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma—their first album produced together in the same studio: an electroacoustic, poetic, fluid and sensitive dialogue between the two experimentalists.

Built from deconstructed layers of texture, tone, and arrhythmic percussiveness, Andrew Pekler & Giuseppe Ielasi's 'Palimpsests' distills 6 years of work into 9 splintered, airy reimaginings of minimalism—each surprising, creatively rigorous, and startlingly beautiful—that rest at the outer reaches of contemporary electroacoustic practice and musique concrète.

An album created as a loosely structured piece for live performance in 2018-2019, commissioned by CTM in Berlin and Sonic Acts in Amsterdam, and premiered there on the GRM Acousmonium. The music is inspired by—and dedicated to—the pioneering research of American composer and installation artist Maryanne Amacher (1938-2009), and created entirely on the Serge Modular analog synthesizer.

The new solo work for concrete sounds, electronics and instruments from Australian composer-performer James Rushford: a shimmering and skittering piece inspired by the play of light and shadow on water.
