Curious Music is delighted to announce the second pressing of The Book - the autobiography of Hans-Joachim Roedelius. The Book is available exclusively through the Curious Music website and releases on March 7, 2024.

In the extraordinary journey of The Book, Hans-Joachim Roedelius – the man once described by the Chicago Sun-Times as “20th Century music’s best kept secret” – tells his almost unfathomable story, from child actor in UFA films, through forced conscription in the Hitler Youth to eventual cornerstone of contemporary music and art. At once a Zelig-esque travelogue of wanderlust and occasionally quixotic misadventure, and the artistic manifesto of a truly unique figure in modern music, The Book is ultimately the account of a life lived in true, hard-earned freedom – at 89, a life that even now continues with an energy and creativity unabated, chapters continuing to be “written” in real time.

The Book includes:

• Foreword by Brian Eno

• Edition of 200, each copy hand-numbered

• 469 pages

• Over 165 photos - many previously unpublished

• 108 album cover images in color

• Design and layout by Sebastian Böcking

• Translated by Alexandra Tolksdorf

We are delighted today to welcome Peter Chilvers to the Curious Music family with the release of his new composition 'Satellites'.

Peter is a musician and software designer, best known for creating the iOS applications Bloom, Trope, Scape and Reflection with Brian Eno, touring with Karl Hyde (Underworld), and for his collaborations with Tim Bowness.

He has recently played keyboards live with Brian Eno, first at his Acropolis concert with Roger Eno in 2021, and then for the acclaimed SHIPS tour across Europe with the Baltic Sea Philharmonic in October 2023.

A spacious and introspective approach to the piano is at the heart of much of Peter's music, expanded by orchestrated electronic textures.

Peter is currently in the studio creating new work to be released by Curious Music in 2024.

We are delighted to announce the release of Aspirin by Moebius.

Aspirin is available as a limited edition audiophile 180-gram LP, limited-edition compact disc, vinyl/cd bundle, digital download and stream.

Aspirin presents a broad spectrum of Moebius’ distinctive approach — kosmische, rhythmic, abrasive, and hypnotic. From the repetitive patterns of the album title track to the reverberating layers found in ‘C9H8O4’ and ‘Synthetic’, Moebius delves deep into the surging maelstrom of synthesized experimentalism that he is famed for, and which continues to inspire a generation of sound explorers and composers today. Elsewhere, the dirtified electronica of ‘Spiraea’ and whimsical ‘Providence’ provide further evidence of the humour and imagination implanted in Moebius’ work, while the cyclical, mechanical ‘Muffler C’ is perfectly Moebius – profoundly unfussy, but full of noise and life.

The album artwork is by artist/composer Mark Mothersbaugh, best known as the singer and multi-instrumentalist from legendary band DEVO.

Curious Music is pleased to announce the release of Outside the new album by Fabio Capanni.

Outside is available as a 180-gram 2LP album, limited edition cd, digital download and stream. European customers order via Burning Shed.

The eight tracks of the new album Outside are developed around the refined sonic textures that have always distinguished Capanni's personal approach to the harmonic possibilities offered by the electric guitar, continuing an exploration that began with the 2021 album Home. Outside is an instrumental album, composed and performed by Fabio Capanni with only essential instrumentation of guitar and piano. The electric guitar used in an unconventional way is a distinctive mark of Capanni's music, capable of generating original sonorities and enveloping atmospheres in constant dialogue with the piano strings, creating a musical fresco of relevant expressive power where everything is “played with hands” and in which synthetic processing of sounds is not allowed.

"New Noise is full of heat and light and irresistible optimism"
- The Wire, July 2023 issue

We are pleased to announce the release of the title track from Eve Maret's forthcoming album New Noise.

Eve says of the track:

"'New Noise' was created while I was in Covid isolation in 2022. This song was an outlet for the negative feelings and pressing questions that I had during that time. 'New Noise' also helped solidify a creative breakthrough - sometimes the most productive way to cope with the world’s tragedies is to lock yourself in a room and make some noise."

About Moebius Strips

Honoring Story’s collaborator and dear friend Dieter “Moebi” Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia, Brian Eno, Conny Plank), Moebius Strips is a multichannel audio installation for museums, festivals, galleries, and other public spaces. Working with Moebius’ widow Irene, Story has collected thousands of his sounds, noises, samples and loops, and reimagined/recomposed these in patterned ‘strips’ which, out of the context of their original settings, combine in new and ever-evolving layers on the installation’s soundstage.

Moebius’ music continues to inspire a generation of sound explorers and composers, and we have honored those connections by inviting a distinguished group of artists who have been influenced by his work as well as former collaborators, to add their voice to the Strips – to interact in their own unique ways with the constructions - including contributions from Geoff Barrow (Portishead, Beak), Sarah Davachi, Jean-Benoît Dunckel (Air), Eve Maret, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Phew, Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster, Harmonia), Michael Rother (Harmonia, NEU!) and Yuri Suzuki.

"I am impressed by the conceptual clarity of Suki Sou's album Notes on Listening. I can hear common roots to Harmonia's music and I'm sure that many of our fans will enjoy Suki's tracks." - Michael Rother (NEU!/Harmonia), 2023

Curious Music is pleased to announce the release of electronic composer and sound designer Suki Sou’s deep listening focused debut mini album, Notes On Listening, on April 7th as a limited edition cd, digital download and streaming on all major digital platforms.

Born from a fascination with early electronic instruments, the record is a unique blend of neo-morning electronica, kosmische and proto techno. With its purified synthesized babble and hydrated loops, it’s perfect for accompanying moments of mindfulness, from wiping rain off your nose, to melting in a eucalyptus bath.
