MERCHANDISE

Dissatisfied with how others represented his work, the legendary sculptor Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) took up the camera himself. Over his lifetime, he produced more than 1,000 photographs documenting the evolution of his artworks and the unique setting in which they were made. These luminous tritone images capture his ever-changing studio over the course of four decades, ranging from intimate studies of individual sculptures to wide-angle views of carefully arranged ensembles. Layered scenes of in-progress artworks, tools and raw materials—including salvaged oak beams and rough blocks of marble—offer behind-the-scenes glimpses of Brancusi’s creative process. Photographs of the artist alongside an array of visitors, including Man Ray, Berenice Abbott, Marcel Duchamp and Mina Loy, illustrate the studio as a lively space of work, play and display. Brancusi’s photographs bring to life his art and his studio as he wanted them to be seen, with extraordinary vividness and intimacy. Featuring more than 130 photographs taken by the artist, this lavishly illustrated volume offers a revealing portrait of Brancusi’s dynamic environment that ultimately became a work of art in its own right.

Grounded in The Broad’s collection of multiples by Joseph Beuys (1921–86), In Defense of Nature centers the German artist’s commitment to environmental justice. The project traces Beuys’ long history of activism, from founding alternative organizations such as the Organization for Direct Democracy to his involvement in Germany’s Green Party. These efforts culminated in Beuys’ last major project, 7,000 Oaks, which involved planting 7,000 trees accompanied by stones throughout the city of Kassel, Germany, from 1982 to 1987. Beuys’ concept inspired Social Forest: Oaks of Tovaangar, a reforestation project in Los Angeles inaugurated as part of the PST ART initiative. With programs that address overlapping issues of environmental justice, reconciliation, and restoration, Social Forest highlights the continued impact of 7,000 Oaks and brings new meaning to Beuys' legacy four decades later, in a vastly different landscape that equally demands repair.

‘I envisioned myself recording for Folkways Records. That was the label I wanted to be on. That was the label that put out all the great records.' Bob Dylan ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "At Folkways Records, the art on an album cover was a portal and an invitation, hinting at the audio to be found inside, a tradition we continue today at Smithsonian Folkways. It is a true honor to be treated to Soul Jazz Redords's deep and thoughtful exploration of the iconic album art from one of America's most consequential record labels” Maureen Loughran, Director and Curator Smithsonian Folkways Recordings, Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage Smithsonian Institution ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Soul Jazz Records new book 'Folkways Records: A Visual History of Folkways Records Cover Art' is out on Oct 19. Deluxe new large-format hardback book featuring 100s of striking and beautiful record sleeve designs from Folkways Records, one of the most important and iconic record labels in the world. Featuring Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, John Cage, Pete Seeger, Nikki Giovanni, Langston Hughes, Mary Lou Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Charles Ives and many more. 208 Pages, 12"x12", Hardback includes extensive introduction and accompanying text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Folkways Records and Service Corporation was founded in 1948 by Moses Asch after Albert Einstein first encouraged him to document the ‘sounds of the world’. From 1949-1987, Folkways released over 2,000 recordings of jazz, folk, avant-garde, world, sounds of nature, spoken word, electronic modernism, civil rights speeches and more. Folkways stands head and shoulders above all ‘world music’ record labels in its depth of representation of cultural diversity and its understanding of the nature of sound itself . Asch’s vision of presenting ‘other music’ in all its myriad forms alongside the homegrown indigenous music of the United States of America (jazz, blues, folk and more) showed an unparalleled vision of modern cultural representation. Much of the success in bringing together such diverse subjects into one cohesive unique and visual identity for Folkways Records is down to the 100s of stunning artwork designs of Ronald Clyne, the primary designer at the record label. Through typeface, colour and design Clyne gave Folkways record covers both an incredibly stylish and unique look and an underlying seriousness of intent and vision, the perfect match to that of founder Moses Asch. The book focusses on the numerous stunning and striking record designs that feature across Folkways’ vast and idiosyncratic musical landscape – from The Music of Equatorial New Guinea to The Voices of the Civil Rights Movement, from The Songs and Dances of The Flathead Indians to The Sounds of The Tropical Rain Forest in America. Other diverse music you will find here include: Outer Space Music, Chinese Classical Music, Sea Shanties and Loggers Songs, Drums of the Yoruba of Nigeria, Street Games and Songs of The Children of New York City, Experiments in Computer Music and more. Folkways recorded some of the greatest names in American music across the fields of jazz, folk, poetry, blues and classical music, including Woody Guthrie, Lead Belly, Nikki Giovanni, Pete Seeger, Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Mary Lou Williams, Allen Ginsberg, Dizzy Gillespie, John Cage, and Charles Ives, all of whom are featured here. As a wholly independent record label with a focus purely on music outside of the mainstream, Asch found unique and innovative solutions to keeping his record company alive for almost 40 years, maintaining the vast catalogue of 2,000 recordings always in print. Smithsonian Folkways when the entire catalogue became part of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC.

Commissioned and produced by 180 Studios, Ryoji Ikeda’s site-specific audio- visual installation data-cosm [n°1] is a unique immersive experience charting the full spectrum of data on nature – from the microscopic scale of particle physics to the macroscopic of astrophysics, as was previously evident in the artist’s data-verse project.Premiered at 180 Studios in October 2025, data-cosm [n°1] functions as a giant microscope, a scientific apparatus, a clinical device, a monitoring system, and a window to an infinitely vast space. Visitors are invited to lie down on the floor and look up at the large LED screen set on the ceiling above them, their bodies surrounded by Ikeda’s soundscapes – a total sensory experience.

The first-ever ethnographic acid Western! In a genre-defying film, Zerzura follows a young man from a small village in Niger who leaves home in search of an enchanted oasis. His journey leads him into a surreal vision of the Sahara, crossing paths with djinn, bandits, gold seekers, and migrants. Zerzura is a modern folktale transposed onto an acid Western, equal parts Jodorowsky and Jean Rouch. Written and developed with a local Tuareg cast, Zerzura mixes ethnofiction with the genre picture, exploring themes of migration and exoticism through a collaborative approach. Comes with 12-page booklet. In Tamashek with English and French subtitles; 84 minutes, all region DVD, NTSC format. Limited edition of 1000 copies.

300 pages, 175 x 129mm paperback w/ litho printed cover & french flaps. We mint our short run book publishing imprint, The End books, with a collection of flyers for soundsystem dances, clashes and blues parties from across the UK between the early 1970s and mid 1990s. Comes complete with introduction by David Katz (People Funny Boy: The Genius of Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Solid Foundation: An Oral History of Reggae) and outroduction by Kevin Le Gendre (Don't Stop the Carnival: Black British Music, Children of the Ghetto: Black Music in Britain). Colour scans sit alongside scuzzy photocopies amassed over several years with the assistance of multiple archivists, the material presented in A Night to Remember is not just valuable musical history, but the story of a community and a culture that would revolutionise sound in the UK. "The flyers collected in A Night To Remember speak to the burgeoning sound system underground that flourished in Britain in the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. There are held events on hallowed ground as well as lesser-known sets. Flyers for house parties remind that shebeens remained an important feature of social life in black communities and the many sound clash and cup clash events emphasise the rivalry and camaraderie that has always been at the heart of the culture, as friends go head-to-head with their dub plates, vying for that definitive crown. Dances featuring guest appearances by name-brand artists such as Sugar Minott, Lone Ranger, Barrington Levy and Admiral Bailey, as well as sound systems such as Jack Ruby, King Jammies, Ray Symbolic, Arrows, Black Scorpio and Metro Media remind how closely the local sound systems remained to their Jamaican roots, even as sounds such as Saxon, Unity, Java and Diamonds carved out a distinctly British niche. All hail the enduring sound systems of Britain – long may they reign!" — David Katz Special shouts out to Ruff House & Jeremy Collingwood.

The tenth and final anthology from Blank Forms explores the early electronic work of French composer Éliane Radigue, whose radical approach to feedback, analog synthesis, and composition on tape has long evaded historical and technical interpretation. Combining key texts, newly translated primary documents, interviews, and commissioned essays, this compendium interrogates the composer’s idiosyncratic compositional practice, which both embraces and confounds the iterative nature of magnetic tape, the subtleties of amplification, and the very experience of listening.

Among these entries is an in-depth overview by cellist Charles Curtis, a close collaborator of Radigue’s, examining the composer’s earliest experiments with feedback techniques and analog synthesis, her eventual shift to composing for unamplified instruments and live performers, and her unique aesthetic configurations of time and presence. A number of detailed conversations between the composer and researchers Georges Haessig, Patrick de Haas, Ian Nagoski, and Bernard Girard provide crucial insights into her working methods at different points throughout her career. Religious studies scholar Dagmar Schwerk reflects upon Radigue’s profound synthesizer work Trilogie de la Mort (1988–93) in the context of Tibetan Buddhist thought and its history, while texts by musicians Daniel Silliman and Madison Greenstone examine, in notably different ways, the technical characteristics of Radigue’s sound practice. Sketches for unrealized work, contemporary reviews, concert programs, and other ephemera mapping the performance history of Radigue’s early work are presented together for the first time. The anthology concludes with a roundtable discussion between Curtis, Greenstone, and Anthony Vine, untangling the knot of paradoxes at the center of Radigue’s artistic practice to trace the thread of her continued “ethos of resistance.”

In Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition, Danny Passarella assembles the definitive visual chronicle of Sonic Boom and J Spaceman’s recorded universe: a lavish, full‑colour archive of global pressings, ephemera and new interviews that turns their vinyl trail into a tactile, time‑spanning narrative. Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition is a love letter to the grooves, labels, sleeves and hand‑made artefacts that carried Sonic Boom and J Spaceman’s music out into the world. Expanding and deepening the original volume, Danny Passarella charts the band’s vinyl story from 1986 right up to 2024, mapping how a cult psychedelic outfit from Rugby left behind one of the most obsessively collected discographies in underground rock. Presented in full colour and printed to a high standard, the book moves far beyond simple documentation to become a visual history of a band in constant sonic and aesthetic flux. At its core, the book is an exquisitely photographed survey of Spacemen 3’s physical output: LPs, 12"s, 10"s and 7"s from across the globe, encompassing original pressings, international variants and notorious bootlegs. Each release is reproduced with forensic care, foregrounding the work of the musicians, engineers, producers, graphic artists, photographers and fiercely independent labels who helped shape the group’s trajectory. From stark early Glas​s Records designs to later, more intricate packages, the pages reveal how typography, colour, printing quirks and wear all contribute to the band’s enduring aura. For fans and collectors, it functions as the definitive visual archive; for newcomers, it offers an immediate, tactile way into the Spacemen 3 universe. The Extended Edition adds a substantial tranche of rare and previously unseen material that pushes the project into deeper, more obsessive territory. Readers will find test pressings and label variants; original press releases and promo photos; gig and shop posters; misprints and artwork drafts that show sleeves in embryonic form; studio notes and handwritten lyric sheets that crack the door on the writing and recording process; a full Outer Limits fanzine feature; tour programmes and other pieces of paper ephemera that once lived in record shop windows, venue foyers or fan bedroom walls. Together, these fragments build a parallel narrative: the underground networks, scenes and micro‑economies that sustained the band far from the mainstream. Crucially, the book doesn’t only look backward through objects – it also listens to the people who were there. Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition includes exclusive new interviews with key figures from the band and their label ecosystem: Sonic Boom, Pete Bain, Will Carruthers, Charlie Pritchard (Outer Limits), David Barker (Glass Records), Suzy Shaw (Bomp! Records), Dom Martin (The Great Pop Supplement) and Mark Lascelles (Runcible Records). Their recollections offer candid insight into the practical and emotional realities behind the artefacts: pressing plant adventures, artwork decisions, budget constraints, personal tensions and small triumphs that are otherwise only hinted at in matrix numbers and catalogue codes. Attention to detail extends to the new edition’s physical presentation. Every copy from the first print run comes with an exclusive A3 poster, turning the book into an instant centrepiece for any Spacemen 3 wall. The cover itself features a UV spot varnish finish that deliberately echoes the Glass pressing of The Perfect Prescription, mirroring the way collectors obsess over subtle manufacturing differences. In a landscape where streaming has flattened music into invisible files, Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition reasserts the power of the record as a total object – sound, design, text and material history fused – and secures the band’s vinyl legacy between hard covers for the generations still discovering that taking drugs to make music to take drugs to really did leave behind some of the most beautiful artefacts of its era.

Eternal Rhythm: Conversations and Travelations with Don Cherry and Graeme Ewens is the book on Don Cherry we have been waiting for - not a biography written from the outside, but a portrait built from the inside, from hours of cassette-taped conversations recorded since 1979 by writer Graeme Ewens, a confidant, travel companion, and close friend of Cherry. Published by Ars Nova Workshop, this is an intimate, free-flowing document of one of the most unique and innovative voices to emerge from the Sixties free jazz movement. Through Ewens' vivid storytelling and Cherry's own reflections, Eternal Rhythm traces a life lived in constant motion - artistically, spiritually, geographically. From the pocket trumpet alongside Ornette Coleman to the organic music years, from Stockholm to Morocco to India, Cherry never stopped moving, never stopped listening, never stopped absorbing. What emerges here is unfiltered insight into the evolution and working life of a true musical nomad, a rich exploration of creativity without borders. For anyone who has ever spun Complete Communion, Eternal Rhythm, or Organic Music Society and wondered about the man behind the music, this is essential reading. Thread sewn, 200 pages, A5 format, printed in black and white and color. Highest recommendation.

Trance has been the flagship for electronic music across the globe during the nineties and early zeroes. The sound’s trademark optimistic and euphoric aspects has brought some of the most compelling musical pieces of its time, and undoubtedly had a significant influence on future electronic music to come. Yet, its historical significance has been highly overlooked. Hypnotised is the first encyclopedia to cover the global trance movement during its most prolific years. The 332-page book spans a near-complete discography of supposedly essential albums, labels and releases, alongside exclusive photos and in-depth interviews with influential artists and label owners.
