The twin Armcomm Europe releases now have pages of their own for the American continent and for Oceania, held by Rizosfera America.

No Ordinary Raconteur by Michael Somerset Ward and Dimidium Oraculi by Adi Newton and Michael Somerset Ward now have a second address: the pre-order pages of Rizosfera America, serving the American continent and Oceania.

If you are ordering from the United States, Canada, Mexico, Central or South America, Australia or New Zealand, that is your counter, with its own pricing and its own shipping. It is not a duplicate of our shop. It is how we take an ocean, a customs desk and a long wait out from between the record and the person waiting for it.

NO ORDINARY RACONTEUR is the first album under Michael Somerset Ward‘s own name, recorded in Sheffield across 2025 and 2026. Twelve pieces on 140g black vinyl, in a single sleeve with a printed inner sleeve carrying all the lyrics; fifteen pieces on the CD A5 Digifile, in card and free of plastic. The cover is Adi Newton’s painted portrait of Michael, and Adi’s voice is heard on Delphic Response, on the Half-Life poems and on Future Cartography — the last of these on the CD alone.

The two formats do not overlap: the lyrics are printed with the vinyl, and the CD carries three further pieces.

DIMIDIUM ORACULI — half of the oracle — is a four-piece mini LP by the two of them together. It is the tenth work Rizosfera has published with Armcomm Europe, dedicated to the community: it enters distribution in no country in the world and exists only on the two Rizosfera sites. The open edition carries a four-page insert printed on high-bulk matt coated paper; the Special Edition is 100 copies numbered and signed by Adi Newton, its booklet printed on twill paper. Both are held in Armcomm Europe’s Notturno Nero board folder, with the logos printed in silver. Neither cover carries a title: the two portraits painted by Adi Newton are what identify the sides.

Dimidium Oraculi is never sold on its own: you build your bundle around a format of No Ordinary Raconteur.

The dates: released on 6 November 2026 in Europe and on 20 November 2026 in the United Kingdom and the United States, in both formats of No Ordinary Raconteur.

Two separate but linked works that negate the ordinary. Neither one is the half of the other.
