Instruments Inside Out
In her exhibition In a Perpetual Now, Rosa Barba fills the modernist spaces of the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin with sculptures, films and projectors deployed on an architectonic structure (Blind Volumes / Backstein, 2021) modelled after Mies van der Rohe’s plans for his unrealized Brick Country House project (1924). Creating a maze of lines and surfaces around the gallery, this streamlined metal form sets the stage—one architecture encapsulated in another—for the artist’s activation of a poly…
Soundmusication
Tip! “Soundmusication” is the third and final album by Jamaican born tenorist Fitz Gore, another rare and beautiful spiritual jazz LP from the late 1970s. “Fitz had a very deeputopian faith in the right music, which could change the world and develop a real condition of peace, because it was supposed to move people`s feelings and actions to spiritual truth. He was convinced that music owned the healing power of the world” (Ulrich Kurth).
Other players include Lukoki Mampasi on electric piano, Ob…

Abendland. Zweites Stundenbuch
The new work by Gianfranco Pernaiachi is based on a re- working/re-thinking of a previous piano score: Abendland. This new work, passing thru a series of "actions" and further writings, became a completely different piece. Most important it's became an "open form" piece, expected to be interpretated by different people in different ways and, more important, with different artistic means. This edition contains 5 possible "interpretations": two musical ones, a piano verision by Pernaiachi himself …

Nervoso

An improvised session recorded live by Matt Bordin at Outside Inside Studio, where the Squadra goes nervously free -- constantly suspended and harmonically non resolved -- following a trail of skilled atonal jaz…
Duo in Concert
Frozen Reeds is proud to present the only recorded duo playing of two legendary musical figures.
“This is one of those moments that we’re always hoping for, and it's so rare. And it's so hard to talk about, because it's so beautiful. It's like you're seeing some new species of plant that you never knew existed or something.” – Bill Frisell
♥ / Lamb
Soccer Committee has always been an consistent exercise in restraint, and offering space. And on ‘♥ /Lamb’, this approach has been taken to perfection. The arrangements are still minimal, with plenty of time for the tones and melodies to resonate with maximum impact. Mariska Baars still carefully selects each note, and lets the sound evolve with precise care. Her songs are definitely rooted in the folktradition, but at the same time very ‘ambient’, in the true sense of the word. And still: there…

Iowa Dream

Havens
"Alan Licht returns to VDSQ with Havens, a sprawling double-disc set of exploratory guitar-based compositions forged from the myriad possibilities arising when strings collide with electricity & space. Licht is masterful and relentless in his negotiation of the often-unknowable intersections that exist between juxtaposing strands of sound. His work is marked by contrast & contradiction: maximalism versus minimalism; rockist inclinations versus avant, expanded-field expression; loose improvisatio…

Over two side long excu…

Produced throughout 2023 and released in the latter half of 2024, this collection of tracks swerve through what seems like a cacophony of FM radio frequencies while oscillating between the familiar and the uncanny, leaving us with a sonic landscape that feels both timeless …
