IONE is a Dream Keeper: a facilitator of dreams. Sharing this intimate part of our being, she believes, can be the start of new ways of being with one another. Exploring the reality of the dream and the dream of reality over many decades has led IONE to appreciate the quantum nature of dreams. Weaving science and dream traditions from around the world together with her own memories and the dreams of her friends and community members, Quantum Dreaming shows that as we start practising awareness, our consciousness also deepens.IONE and Pauline Oliveros’s shared vision of a harmonious, self-sustaining network of artists and dreamers led to the founding of the Deep Listening Institute. Quantum Dreaming similarly seeks a radical shift in our collective consciousness, across all states of dreaming and waking.Afterword by Sarah shin  Images by Sammy Lee  Paperback, 113x160mm, 96pp Silver Press/ Spiral House, Portals Series, London, June 2025

Careening through 850+ releases, from chaotic sound collage work to their eight-and-a-half-hour magnum opus, named LUX, we find out how Octa Mobius Sheffner’s career came to its end, who they think is winning the current musical ‘arms race’ and watching the Western culture eat itself from 6,000 miles away. (This edition also comes with an exclusive cassette release of Octa’s EP Rules + cloth-. This breathtaking post-industrial journey, limited to 30 cassettes, is a rare opportunity to experience Octa’s music in physical form.)   We catch up with Will Wiesenfield to find out more about the alias Baths, the new album Gut and how it’s even more shamelessly honest than everything that has come before it. After which we head to Corsica to watch him dodge theatrically between venue-rattling beats and snares.   A mainstay of the online music scene sadly passed away this year. Alan Morse Davies was a friend to many and a collaborator of a lucky few. We give space to those who knew him to remember, in hopes that more will appreciate his impact.   The aficionado of ambient balladry, Lucy Liyou, provides an insight into the music behind her truly unique sound. This edition also features analysis of the biggest releases from the past month and reviews of hidden gems, including from Ninajirachi, Twin Galaxxies and Briana Marela.  A5, staplebound, 24pp listencorp, October 2025 listencorp.co.uk

When Ursula K. Le Guin started writing a new story, she would begin by drawing a map. The Word for World presents a selection of these images by the celebrated author, many of which have never been published before, to consider how her imaginary worlds enable us to re-envision our own.  Le Guin’s maps offer journeys of consciousness beyond conventional cartography, from the Rorschach-like archipelagos of Earthsea to the talismanic maps of Always Coming Home. Rather than remaining within known terrain, they open up paradigms of knowledge, exemplified by the map’s edges and how a map is read, made and re-made, together. The Word for World brings her maps together with poems, stories, interviews, recipes and essays by contributors from a variety of perspectives to enquire into the relationship between worlds and how they are represented and imagined.  Contributors: Federico Campagna, Theo Downes-Le Guin, Daniel Heath Justice, Bhanu Kapil, Canisia Lubrin, Una McCormack, David Naimon, Nisha Ramayya, Shoshone Collective, Standard Deviation, Marilyn Strathern. Co-published by Spiral House and AA Publications to coincide with an exhibition of Ursula K. Le Guin’s maps at the Architectural Association, London, opening on 10 October 2025.  edited by So Mayer & Sarah Shin Paperback, 112 pp Spiral House, October 2025

Optically Suspicious is a publication by Matrijaršija on the life, work, and cultural and artistic activities of the Union of Graphic and Typographic Workers of Yugoslavia. The book is the result of research in the Union’s archives in the Printed Material Collection of the Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade. Matrijaršija reconstructs the forgotten history of the leftist graphic and typographic workers by studying the Union’s posters and leaflets, which bear witness to their rich artistic and cultural programme realised between 1920 and 1941. The book offers engaging theoretical discussions on the importance of cultural and artistic (self-)organisation and the significance of solidarity among workers in the printing industry. The members of the Matrijaršija collective bring this history to life in a series of collages, visual poems, plays, and short stories. Optically Suspicious is the first volume in the ‘tehnika’ series, which focuses on the technical aspects of radical publishing practices. The volumes in the series will discuss the ways in which radical and independent publishing practices introduce entirely new forms of printing, typography, design, distribution and content. Edited by Rab-Rab Press, Matrijaršija and Baraba, the aim of the series is to deal with the actuality of the fluid form of revolutionary printing “techniques” and to develop and connect them with contemporary publishing practices. Conceived, designed and printed by Matrijaršija, Optically Suspicious is entirely manufactured with risporint and is the expanded edition and translation of the first Serbo-Croatian version published in 2022 in collaboration with the Museum of Yugoslavia. Founded in 2014 in Belgrade, the autonomous cultural centre Matrijaršija is a collective focused on printmaking and independent publishing. With over a decade of experience in screen printing and five years in risograph printing, it promotes experimental techniques and practices, as well as alternative forms of artistic organisation.Pocket-sized Hardcover  Rab-Rab,

Wanting Something Completely Different discusses a range of political figures, themes, directors and writers in a series of brief, evocative descriptions (‘vignettes’) aimed at laying out a vision of a modern, cosmopolitan left that can think creatively about the world we live in. The political figures include both thinkers and activists from a wide range of backgrounds — from Frantz Fanon and the Palestinian novelist Ghassan Kanafani to the theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer and the murdered Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya. The themes range equally widely from the death of Walter Benjamin (reconstructed here from a remarkable documentary on the same theme) and the slaying of Pasolini to the work of British Marxist Perry Anderson, or the corrupt nature of India’s leading corporate groups, or the outstanding contributions of Italian and U.S. Black feminists to feminist theory. And under the rubrics which discuss film and literature, there is the same striving for diversity and depth. Jairus Banaji is a historian who received the Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize in 2011. His academic work has ranged widely across sources and languages, with major books on Late Antiquity and (most recently) commercial capitalism as well as numerous papers and articles. The vignettes collected in this Rab-Rab book reflect the same dazzling versatility and passion for ideas. They were first circulated on Facebook over some seven years or more and are reproduced here with a new introduction and extensive bibliographical references and notes. Designed by Ott Kagovere, the book is printed in 500 copies and can be ordered either directly from our website or through our distributors. Wanting Something Completely Difrerent - 111 Vignettes of Left-Wing Figures, Themes, Films & Writers Softcover, A4 Rab-Rab, 2nd edition, Summer 2025

In BODYBUILDER, Derek Coulombe forms an elliptical correspondence between his own experience of Tourette’s Syndrome and Umberto Boccioni’s futurist sculpture Unique Forms of Continuity in Space. In this hybrid genre work of fabulist criticism Boccioni's sculpture becomes an obsessively deconstructed central character through which Coulombe reflects on the inherently repetitive, scatological, and convulsively queer properties of his own Tourettic situation.    Tourette’s Syndrome (a movement disorder that causes involuntary tics, convulsions, movements, and utterances) causes a body to assume specific physical shapes in the world without the body having meant to do so, and in this way, produces a scenario where the affected body is both assuming postures as well as watching these postures being enacted from a remove. This forced, partial removal creates a unique situation where Coulombe can view his body as an external object—as a series of surfaces and volumes—as something more like a sculpture or a painting. From this specifically disordered framework, Coulombe takes Unique Forms of Continuity in Space as a kind of malleable proxy where the sculpture becomes a figurative hub for an exploration of disabled embodiment and movement through the production of increasingly aberrant fictive vignettes.Softcover, 126 x 178mm, 84 pages Hildegard Press, Canada 2024

The short-lived Blitz club in London’s Covent Garden was more than somewhere to hang out or be seen: it was a catalyst for cultural explosion, a counter-culture blast against everything Thatcher’s leadership had ushered in by the dawn of the 80s. Tuesday nights boasted a ferocious, fearless cast – from Boy George and Spandau Ballet to Grayson Perry and Peter Doig, to Michele Clapton, Sade and Alexander McQueen. This was the vanguard of a different England; socially liberal, loud, proud and diverse, fiercely individualistic and determined to succeed. Britain was black and white; the Blitz Kids switched on the colour. In Blitz, Elms reflects on a club night founded by working-class kids, one whose impact reverberated beyond its doors, through the worlds of Art, Literature, Fashion and Music, and into the present day.Hardcover, 285pp faber & faber 2025

Effects 4 orbits around holes. Holes draw our attention to the periphery, the edges of the visible, bringing to the fore what typically disappears into the margin. The issue explores holes in the psyche and the body, political and philosophical holes, holes in architecture and geology, holes as destructive as well as productive, holes as grave-pits, holes as birth-canals. Effects 4: Holes includes new essays on holes by Richard Boothby, Lorens Holm, Ani Maitra, Tabitha Steinberg, Noel W Anderson, Hilary White, Tim Martin, Jeffrey Stuker and Christopher Page; interviews with artists Paul Pfeiffer and Mary Helena Clark on holes and their work; new poems on holes by Daisy Lafarge and Christopher Carlton; and artworks the mobilise holes and voids by Eric N.

Issue #13 of TALKER is a conversation with Bobby Baker. Bobby’s acclaimed intersectional feminist practice includes performance, drawing, and installation. It persistently exposes the undervalued and stigmatised aspects of women’s daily lives. Her live work in particular has been a distinctive and significant contribution to the shape performance art has taken over the past five decades. In this career-spanning interview, Bobby describes her creative journey from encounters with a germinal performance art scene at St. Martins School of Art in the early 1970s to current collaborative and participatory projects.  She is generously open about her process, sharing accounts of a practice that, though often playfully witty and wild, never shies from darker and more complex themes bound up in challenges with mental health, structural sexism and gendered labour in domestic spaces. Her 1976 installation, An Edible Family in a Mobile Home (1976) was remade in 2023 as part of Women in Revolt! Art and Activism in the UK 1970–1990 at Tate Britain which toured to the Whitworth, Manchester in 2025.   Regular price£8.00Giles Bailey, 2025 Softcover Staplebound, 280 x 180mm, 20pp Risograph throughout

Ross Bolleter's latest collection of poems draws on his experience as a musician/composer especially in the field of ruined piano, and includes tributes to Thelonious Monk and other luminaries who have inspired him over a lifetime of musical and poetic creation. This new book explores the themes of childhood, eros, love, death—and football.       Ross Bolleter (born 1946 in Subiaco, Western Australia) is an Australian avantgarde composer and and improviser notable for his experimentation on old pianos that have been found after having been left exposed to the action of time and weather (he classifies his pianos into different categories: neglected, abandoned, weathered, decayed, ruined, devastated, decomposed, annihilated), thus acquiring novel and unexpected musical possibilities. His recordings are published by the Emanem and WARPS (World Association for Ruined Piano Studies) labels. In 2021, he released the great Total Piano on Thödol Records.  bilingual edition (English / French) 12 x 18 cm (softcover), 220 pp Lenka Lente, 2025

A new poetry collection considers the relationship between sound and meaning, and the significance of the pause in language.The Etruscan language knew no blank spaces, no breaks between words. Its texture resembled an uninterrupted flow of speech—more singing than speaking, more form than content. Only in the dictum of the pause and the meaningful fragmentation of the breath does language become comprehensible rhythmic expression. In a world full of slogans and catchphrases, Allison Grimaldi Donahue defends the poetological demand of sound over content. The History of Breathing weaves linguistics and poetry, verse and song, meaning and sound into a dense narrative about breathing, rhythm, and the gaps in language that allow words to take on meaning in the first place.In the tradition of such poets as Charles Olsen, Alice Notley, and Sappho, Grimaldi Donahue’s poetry connects the history of breath and language with narratives about the discovery and loss of our own voice.softcover, 64 pp aktion_fiction, 2025 Allison Grimaldi Donahue works in text and performance, exploring modes in which language and text can move between individual and collective experience. She is the author of Body to Mineral and On Endings and translator of Blown Away by vito m. bonito and Self-portrait by Carla Lonzi. She lives in Bologna.

Vocal Inhabitants is a vibrant collection of new, experimental writing and visual art from writers and artists across the globe. The collection is interested in questions of degradation, liminality and companionship. But at its heart, it represents an exploration of that which is lost between speaker and receiver, the decay of thought between the mind and the page, the fraying of relationships between lovers and families and the generation of new, abstract ways of communicating. Though described as an anthology, Vocal Inhabitants is not part of a series, and does not represent an ongoing anthology project, but rather it is a single work created by many voices.edited by Charlie Case & Joe Vaughan  Softcover, 105pp Strange Region, 2025

Introduction by Ione Foreward by Laurie Anderson Illustrations by Aura SatzWhat is the difference between hearing and listening? Does sound have consciousness? Can you imagine listening beyond the edge of your own imagination? In response to the anti-war movements of the 1960s, pioneering musician and composer Pauline Oliveros began to expand the way she made music, experimenting with meditation, movement and activism in her compositions. Fascinated by the role that sound and consciousness play in our daily lives, Oliveros developed a series of Sonic Meditations that would eventually lead to the creation of Deep Listening – a practice for healing and transformation open to all, rooted in her musicianship.  Quantum Listening is a manifesto for listening as activism. Through simple yet profound exercises, Oliveros shows how Deep Listening is the foundation for a radically transformed social matrix: one in which compassion and peace form the basis for our actions in the world. This timely edition brings Oliveros’ futuristic vision – blending technology and spirituality – together with a new Foreword and Introduction by Laurie Anderson and IONE.  Pauline Oliveros (1932–2016) was a renowned American composer and performer known for conceiving a unique, meditative, improvisatory approach to music called ‘Deep Listening’®. A central figure in the development of post-war experimental and electronic music, Oliveros was the recipient of four Honorary Doctorates and many awards, including the William Schuman Award for Lifetime Achievement, Columbia University, NY; The Giga-Hertz Award for Lifetime Achievement in Electronic Music from ZKM, Center for Art and Media, Germany and The John Cage Award from from the Foundation of Contemporary Arts. During her lifetime, Oliveros was Distinguished Research Professor of Music at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, and Darius Milhaud Artist-in-Residence at Mills College. Laurie Anderson is one of America’s most renowned – and daring – creative pioneers. Known primarily for her multimedia presentations, she has cast herself in roles as varied as visual artist, composer, poet, photographer, filmmaker, electronics whiz, vocalist and instrumentalist.IONE is an author, playwright, director and an improvising text-sound artist. In addition to multiple performances internationally, she has created numerous large music theater works with her creative partner and spouse, the composer Pauline Oliveros. IONE’s memoir, Pride of Family; Four Generations of American Women of Color, was a New York Times Notable Book on its publication. She was Artistic Director of Deep Listening Institute, Ltd for 15 years and is currently a Deep Listening Consultant at the Center for Deep Listening, Troy, NY. As Founding Director of The Ministry of Maåt, IONE received the 2019 Arts Mid Hudson Individual Artists Award and a Certificate of Merit from the General Assembly of the State of New York, and was a member of the Kingston Arts Commission for several years. IONE’s most recent opera TOUCH, with composer Karen Power, premiered at Irish National Opera in 2021.Aura Satz’s work encompasses film, sound, performance and sculpture. Her work centres on the trope of ventriloquism in order to conceptualise a distributed, expanded and shared notion of voice. Works are made in conversation and use dialogue as both method and subject matter. She has long-standing interest in compositional practices, in particular those of women in electronic and electroacoustic music, under the umbrella titles of ‘She Recalibrates’, manifesting as a series of film and sound portraits, as well as drawings. She has also made a body of work centred on various sound technologies in order to explore notation systems, code and encryption, and ways in which these might resist standardisation, generating new soundscapes, and in turn new forms of listening and attending to the other.
