I just found Avalanche Kaito.
First album:Originally Posted by Bandcamp Hype
Talitakum:
It's not avant-prog but I figured summa youse might like it.
And a new album by the (I suspect largely forgotten) Swiss post-modern funsters öz ürügülü is coming, entitled Della Morte dell'Artista:
I wasn't expecting that.
This is an interesting album
https://visionintoart.bandcamp.com/album/ancient-city
Ancient City by by Paola Prestini and Nelson Patton
I was familiar with Paloa Prestini as a modern classical composer but this album is a lot closer to avant prog. Closer to Art Zoyd than to Philip Glass.
Half composed - half improvised. Dark and brooding with lots of horns. Worth checking out.

Decimo Cerchio (L'Inferno 1911 O.S.T.) by I Sincopatici ft Claudio Milano:
Quigyat by NichelOdeon ft borda:
New release from an Australian guitarist Cameron Pikó under the band name Montresor. He quotes Henry Cow and Univers Zero as influences. Found it due to Charlie Cawood (Knifeworld, Join The Din, Lost Crowns) on bass.

Gordon Haskell - "You've got to keep the groove in your head and play a load of bollocks instead"
I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
I'm one of the 212.
This sounds like African Rock In Opposition, if such a genre could ever exist. A totally fresh and exciting approach for both African music and experimental music from Belgium based band Αvalanche Kaito
Still alive and well...

The new album of Caroline Shaw and So Percussion 'Rectangles and Circumstance' is again a damn tasty one.
After 'Narrow Sea' and the magnificent 'Let the Soil play its simple part' this is the third release by this combo and it does not disappoint. This will end up very high in my 2024 list. As ' Avant' and 'Proggy' as it gets these days.

“Remember, if it doesn't say "Cuneiform," it's not prog!” - THE Jed Levin
Any time any one speaks to me about any musical project, the one absolute given is "it will not make big money". [tip of the hat to HK]
"Death to false 'support the scene' prog!"
please add 'imo' wherever you like, to avoid offending those easily offended.
