Here those 10, alphabetically, www.hhv.de/en-NL/record...
Enjoy checking them out.
Later one also a list with cds added, and of course that 11th LP

I did a mix for Planck Tone with a lot of Moving Furniture Records releases.
First of two mixes (next one will be with stuff that inspires me. Probably in half a year this will come, like my music, I'm slow)

Been quiet over here, but a new batch of Sawyer Spaces music is out in the world - for me, this one is a bit of a crossover with Sawyer Editions, and I think you're gonna love this music as much as I do sawyerspaces.bandcamp.com
Sawyer Spaces
Sawyer Spaces is an imprint of Sawyer Editions, focusing on art and place: the intersections of experimental music, field recordings, and soundscape.
Demos always welcome
