Night Blossoms
'Night Blossoms' is French composer/pianist Melaine Dalibert’s sixth solo album, consisting of new compositions from 2019-2021. Of the six pieces on this album, 'A Rebours', 'Windmill', 'Eolian Scape', and 'Sisters' were written around the same time as most of the pieces for his 2020 album 'Infinite Ascent'. While 'Infinite Ascent' featured his intuitive compositions in a pop style, 'Night Blossoms' features works further developed with his algorithmic approach, which has been his long-term purs…
This is Tomorrow
"Band Of Cloud’s David Owen has previous. Hailing from Leeds, he knocked about with Soft Cell early doors, hoovered up 80s synthpop, got distracted by The Sisters Of Mercy, formed The Hollow Men, dropped out for a couple of decades and popped back up in 2011 with the utterly brilliant ‘We Know Where The Time Goes’ by The FLK – a folk version of The KLF’s ‘Chill Out’. Yes, it’s as great as that sounds. Judging by all that, ‘This Is Tomorrow’ should be good. David reveals that the first album he b…
Ensemble Music Vol.2
Recorded after performances at New York's prestigious 92nd Street Y in 1996 with the participation of the composer, Ensemble Music 2 is the follow up to the initial, critically acclaimed and best selling volume of Iannis Xenakis' Ensemble Works on Mode. This disc contains the first recording of Xenakis' memorial work A la Mémoire de Witold Lutoslawski, to the great Polish composer. A literal monument in sound, comprised of massive blocks of brass arranged as a dirge-like fanfare. Composed in 199…
Dream Disobedience
** 2021 Stock ** Austrian pianist Elisabeth Harnik seems to thrive in duo settings. Michael Zerang, a Chicago-based drummer, is with her on Dream Disobedience, a live recording made at Ljubljana, Slovenia in 2019. The conversation, unabated for 35 minutes, is rather subdued, Harnik usually initiating each new topic, alternating traditional approaches with more unusual in-the-box techniques while Zerang eschews straight timekeeping for a more reactive role, adding the musical equivalents of ‘Hmm!…
The Center Will Hold
** 2021 Stock ** "Not to burden trombonist Steve Swell with titanic comparisons, but it is safe to say that he is a logical heir to the worldly, cutting-edge personship of Roswell Rudd. Swell studied under Rudd and also with masters Jimmy Knepper and Grachan Moncur III (like Rudd, an associate of Archie Shepp in the '60s). Swell possesses a hearty, rippling, vibrant, somewhat vocalized tone, one of the most distinctive around, and like Rudd, is strongly rooted in the past with an eye on the oute…

Moths & Stars
"Coming from a background as a performer and clarinet player, the opportunity to record my own music opened up a whole new context to think about music. Sounds are freed from being confined to one place, one time, or even one perspective. I wanted the recording to have a right-up-in-your-ear kind of intimacy - so close, that you could hear the beating of a moth’s wing, but I also wanted the listener to experience the expansiveness of the recorded space, like the vast night sky. The microphones …
Two Paths With Active Shadows Under Three Moons and Surveillance
"This piece and group developed over the course of a year. It was presented in concert over three initial phases. The concert recorded here (second phase) occurred six months into this process. However, this is not completely accurate; in different forms, the group continues to develop. This recording documents one of many possible manifestations."With: Marcia Bassett, Barry Weisblat, Ron Stabinsky, Che Chen, Laura Ortman, C. Spencer Yeh, Michael Bullock, Andrew Lafkas, Rick Brown, Ryan Sawyer, …
Inseln
*200 copies limited edition* A set of islands, emerging from the seafloor, standing isolated from one another above water. In Inseln, this image manifests itself musically as combinations of long tones, fading in, fading out, overlapping in everchanging permutations to form islands of sound in a sea of silence. - Cenk Ergün A multi-channel sound work by Turkish-American composer Cenk Ergün, Inseln was first realized as an installation for six loudspeakers at Zionskirche, Berlin in March 2021. 44…

Rocco e i Suoi Fratelli
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of one of the most important neo-realist movies ever filmed in Italy, Quartet Records proudly presents Rocco e i suoi fratelli (Rocco and His Brothers), a 2-CD set featuring for the first time the complete original score of the landmark collaboration between Luchino Visconti and Nino Rota. The film finds the young Rocco (Alain Delon), his mother and three siblings moving from the South to Milan, hoping to reunite the family with the eldest brother. However, div…
Grid Ravage
‘Grid Ravage’s debut album for Dropa Disc sounds organic, just like their live performances, with the music being born on the spot. The tight drumming of Louis Evrard (Ottla), the razor-sharp cello of Gino Coomans (Sheldon Siegel) and the permeating electronics of Yves De Mey naturally flow into each other. The result is a strikingly versatile and accessible record, on which the tension is built up in every track, until it’s not clear anymore who’s being followed around by whom. In this way, th…
Fades/Costellazioni
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Fades/Costellazioni is a work of sound art designed to be exhibited in a dedicated space. It has been realised in the form of a web application: to listen to it you need an internet connection and a stereo audio system. It is a work to be explored and perceived in its plasticity, because the material of which it is made - the sound - by its own nature does not fill the air in a uniform way, manifesting itself instead through hollows and plenums, areas that thick…
Transmission
Tip! Not unlike the supernatural deities from which they take their name, DJINN - the Swedish collective featuring members of Hills and Goat in their ranks - have proven themselves a potent and mysterious force. Their first release for Rocket Recordings was a portrait of open-minded explorers foraying into the realms of free and cosmic jazz, but never overly reverential or in thrall to their own influences. Following the ‘Avant De Servir’ tape which was released on Swedish label Zeon Light last …
Sikorsky
Sikorsky is an ambitious and highly original orchestral piece for 18 musicians — 8 clarinets, 4 drum kits, 4 double basses, trumpet and the alto sax of its composer and arranger, Danish, Copenhagen-based Niels Lyhne Løkkegaard. As on his previous release Vesper (2012), Løkkegaard is fascinated with the sound of clarinets and the sound of a closely-voiced clarinet ensemble plays a major role on his fifth release.The title of the 30-minute composition is associated with the sound of the Sikorsky h…
