As a label, we position ourselves through conceptual albums: our last LP documented live performances in a brutalist church designed by Pritzker price winning architect Gottfried Böhm, while our forthcoming release assembles sonic representations of an iconic concrete radio telescope from the 1950s. Both releases combine experimental practices in production and recording. Distributed by Kompakt.

„The qualities of that object may be summarized as follows: 1, Formal legibility of plan; 2, clear exhibition of structure, and 3, valuation of materials for their inherent qualities „as found“ “ Reyner Banham „The new Brutalism“ Architectural Review (1966)
Following on from our audio visual experiences in St. Gertruds church in Cologne, this album contains eight excerpts from live sets, specially produced for the unique space of the building designed by Gottfried Böhm, in an attempt to capture its architecture and sound.
