Motormorla The new album by Reichenhall tells the story about the mythical creature Motormorla, that is caught in a permanent traffic jam, collecting sounds, voices, and stories through an old car radio. Between hiss and crackle, unfamiliar voices emerge: chants and fragments of environmental sounds from other parts of the world.

The Constellation by Hanna Mattes & Bernhard Wöstheinrich The Constellation is the second release in Hanna Mattes' ongoing musical-poetic project. This piece inhabits the liminal space between waking and sleeping. It is less a song than a constellation: a moment of permission, a recognition of protection, an invitation to step toward what has been guarded.

Materiaal 081 – Live in Hanau 20250906 by The Elsewhere Project featuring Hans-Dieter Schmidt This performance was recorded live on September 6, 2025, at the Kunstwerkhalle in Hanau, Germany. It was a fully improvised set with no overdubs or pre-recorded parts. These pieces were sourced from live recordings, they may contain some clicks and digital dropouts.

The Kunstwerkhalle, a former car workshop converted into an art exhibition space, retains the unique atmosphere of its past while providing a sprawling, inspiring environment. This setting was the perfect backdrop for the performance, allowing the musicians to give full expression to their music.
