This is incredible music, and its joyous description made me realize I missed the flexidisc era of Guitar Player, which I didn’t start reading until 1993 or 1994.

U.S. folks - Forced Exposure has Black Truffle's Hans Reichel LP available for preorder: www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/reic...

this is really extraordinary stuff. makes me think of if jon hassell played guitar instead of trumpet

Completely unaware of this guy until today but this is some of the most beautifully strange experimental music I’ve ever heard. Like a broadcast to Earth by aliens who have mistaken the electric guitar for the sound of the human voice.

Black Truffle is thrilled to announce Dalbergia Retusa, an extensive selection of the solo guitar music of HANS REICHEL one of the great figures of experimental guitar music. Rarely has music been at once so strange & so beautiful. Preorder 2LP+digital here: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/dalber...

ALVIN LUCIER Performed by Charles Curtis Stephen O'Malley, Oren Ambarchi @ Église du Saint-Esprit - 17 Feb feat. Stephen O'Malley, Oren Ambarchi #SESH #StephenOMalley #OrenAmbarchi

This recording by Mark Fell & Pat Thomas is quite something… blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/realit...

fully ruined by this; Oren Ambarchi introduces us to the lesser-known work of guitar god (and instrument builder) Hans Reichel, an early influence who helped shape Ambarchi’s sound and would later be sampled by 0pn- among many, many other things. 10/10✨ boomkat.com/products/dal...

Excerpts from the Haino/O’Rourke/Ambarchi show last night at Showboat, Tokyo 🇯🇵 Vid: crys cole

高円寺ShowBoatにて『灰野敬二 / Jim O’Rourke / Oren Ambarchi 』を聞きました。最後にこのトリオを聞いたのは2018年、場所は今は無き西麻布SuperDeluxeでした。SuperDeluxeではこのトリオに限らず、最高のライブを沢山聞かせてもらったので、ここで改めて感謝したいです。そしてあれから8年ぶりに聞けた訳ですが、やはり素晴らしい。休憩前の前半パートが完璧といえるもので、ここで帰ろうかなと思う程見事でしたが、後半からアンコールまで演奏の強度がこれまた凄い。とても楽しかったです。 www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3XL...

Two from Black Truffle to cap off the year

21/ Ghosted III by Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling & Andreas Werliin. Kind of an annual tradition now. orenambarchi.bandcamp.com/album/ghoste...

'There is absolute perfection in the tooth and drone of the strings on Melopea, moving in tandem with Cuni’s vocals - a hybrid of deep traditional vocal technique and the precision of microtones and partials' Amelia Cuni - Melopea - Rum Music: The Best of 2025 buff.ly/RekOkQL

if I had gotten the physical copy of this a bit earlier it def would have made my year-end list. stunning stuff. and the fact that Mark Fell put out three of the best releases of the year is wild.

Today on WFMU: On Observations of Deviance w/David Mittleman (Give the Drummer Radio stream), Oren Ambarchi Interview. Guitar player/composer Ambarchi has produced some of the most remarkable music of the last decade, as a solo artist and with the Ghosted project (7 p.m. ET).

Jennifer Lucy Allan picks out 10 of the best from another Rum year, from lucid bedroom pop made in 80s Hungary, to wild new sounds out of Lancashire produced on self-built wooden instruments, via accordions, kanteles, lap steel guitars, modular synths Rum Music: The Best of 2025 buff.ly/RekOkQL

last three Black Truffle releases of 2025 just came through 🍾

On the next episode Ghosted: Oren Ambarchi Interview @orenambarchi.bsky.social Sat, Dec 13, 7-10pm(ET) @wfmu.bsky.social STREAM ▶️ wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Special shout-out to this prickly, irascible duo set from Fell and Pat Thomas: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/realit...

A beautiful posthumous release from Amelia Cuni: "Neither a classical Indian performance nor an archival release, it instead hews closer to the recent work of French composer Eliane Radigue...hovering between tradition and modern minimalism." cunidurand.bandcamp.com/album/melopea

The new Richard Youngs album, coming out tomorrow, is an AOTY (I have a review copy, am reviewing it for WXDU) It's an album "that seems to have more to do with dub or early hip-hop than high-brow models of musical reductionism," says @bandcamp.com nofansrecords.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Out today on Black Truffle, our last release for 2025 is HIDDEN by the inimitable RICHARD YOUNGS. Like little else in contemporary music, Youngs’ work beams with the simple joys of exploration & experiment. LP+Digital: blacktruffle.bandcamp.com/album/hidden

Available direct from me, my new album on Black Truffle. Mailing out with free risograph Youngsie and Creation Room postcards. www.nofansrecords.com/shop/richard...

Richard Youngs switches it up again on his third Black Truffle episode, serving two long sides of bone-dry kosmische sequences and asymmetric vocalisations that land somewhere between Manuel Göttsching x Conrad Schnitzler, with an inimitable slant boomkat.com/products/hid...
