Live 1963 (The Lost Recordings)

On this recording, Zeeberg is accompanied by a band comprised of several of his generation’s finest musicians.

This concert, recorded at Havn…
Notes from the Air
On Notes from the Air, Ciro Vitiello turns the seagull into a trembling patron saint of dizziness and desire, drifting between orchestral swells, shoegaze haze and post‑rock afterimages in songs that hover on the edge of meaning and never quite touch down.
The Boy And The Tree
The Boy and the Tree was composed after a visit to Yakushima Island, an outstandingly beautiful world heritage site off the southern tip of Japan, scored by a deep, lush and ancient ravine, home of the ancient 7000-year old ‘Jōmon Sugi’. Tree. Also the inspiration for Miyazaki's epic anime Princess Mononoke, a conflict between the rampant greed and destructive force of humanity, and the stoic, mysterious fragility of nature.
This fleeting immersion in nature lent the album a profound introspecti…

The Day Of The Jackal (Music From The Motion Picture)
In the centenary year of his birth, Quartet Records unveils for the first time the complete score that Georges Delerue composed for Fred Zinnemann's masterful 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal - a work largely unheard until now, buried beneath the weight of editorial decisions that stripped the film's second half of any musical accompaniment.

A Grammar for Listening
2008. Paris and Glasgow. Eric La Casa recording sounds for Luke Fowler's 16mm triptych.

The microphones amplify all living substances in motion - from the interior of the b…

Natural Selection
Unlike much of Florian Hecker's recent work, such as 2021's 'Synopsis Seriation' or 'Hecker Leckey Sound Voice Chimera', his acclaimed PAN-released collaboration with Mark Leckey, there's no single overarching narrative that binds 'Natural Selection'. Hecker describes the sprawling, nine-track album as a "constellation of pieces originating from related investigations", and the clue's in the title. Ranging from under a minute to over half an hour, these works have been grouped together because t…
