NorCal 2026 — the story continues
Three decades in Kraków. A new chapter in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California. The music goes on — in every stream, every signal, every frequency.
Not Two Records spent thirty years in Kraków, documenting the living edge of free improvisation — each release an act of preservation and a quiet act of provocation, catching the spark of improvised and avant-garde music as it flared across Europe in late-night currents and unrepeatable moments.
In 2026, the label crossed an ocean and settled into the Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California. The archive came along — honored, intact, and loosened from its old boundaries — carrying its lineage forward like a flame passed from one set of hands to another. The pulse remains. The mission keeps moving.
"The possible has been tried and failed. Now it's time to try the impossible." — Sun Ra
Radical Legacy. Uncompromised Sound. The Mission Continues.
An act of pure sonic defiance — the ensemble fractures into glorious, irreducible chaos, and both states feel necessary.
Not Two has consistently done what the majors cannot: captured improvisation in the moment, without safety nets, without revision.
Fujii and Tamura communicate in a language that predates language itself. The titles are not metaphors — they are precise descriptions.
Guy's bass is a landscape — mountainous, oceanic. Kraków 2018 captures a musician at the peak of his powers.
New releases from the Sierra foothills. Rediscovered sessions from Kraków. Stream updates, deep archive notes, and stories from three decades of improvised music.
