"The bass music you will hear on this album is, it might be said, a child of the seventies. A ferociously radical time in the development of the double bass as a solo instrument found composers eager to formulate soundscapes that would send our Bottesinis and Dragonettis running for the exit !
As an emerging bassist in these heady times, immersed deeply into the art of improvisation where almost on a daily basis colleagues pushed the boundaries of instrumental possibilities, I found myself addit…
1994 release ** "Composer, performer and improviser René Lussier is one of the dominant figures in contemporary Canadian music. In 1989 he won the Paul Gilson Prize for his radio work Le Trésor de la langue which he recorded on the Ambiances Magnétiques label and which he presented in concert version in Canada and abroad. Here he presents his latest album entitled “Le corps de l’oeuvre” which is made up of a series of instrumental pieces for large and small ensembles written and refined over the…
2025 stock ** "The sounds on this album seem to come from another world. They spread through space, then disappear, or rather: fade away, evaporate, crystallize, settle as a sedi- ment. This music is about fading away, about reverberations, echoes. European instruments sound Asian, and Asian instruments are integrated into European art music. Xiaoyong Chen, who emigrated to Germany in 1985, once a student of composition with György Ligeti and now a professor of composition at the Hochschule fü…

1996 release ** "Joyous melodies, pop music textures, rhythm complexity of a Frank Zappa-sort, re-working of material quoted from Baroque-period composers, and a generous sense of humor all work together to make an interesting and entertaining collection of new works from this Los Angeles-based composer. Performed by the California Ear Unit, selections include: "The Vulture's Garden" (1990), "Edible Black Ink" (1989), "Murphy Nights" (1989), "Count Your Change" (1989), "Clean Your Gun" (1991), "…

One of Carola Bauckholt's major talents is the gift of attentive and passionate listening. Through persistent research, she uncovers the hidden musical potential of ambient sounds such as the gurgling of a fountain, a grinding crank, birds, dogs, construction machinery or a babbling baby, which then become the core of entire works. These sounds need a mediator like Bauckholt who translates them, thinks them through musically, and places them into often surprising contexts. This album features th…
In the new work ''Shlimazl'' by the Swiss composer Michael Wertmüller, symphony orchestra and big band merge into a virtuoso, polymetric organism that not only transcends styles, but also a perceived linearity of time. In doing so, he explicitly takes up the rich tradition of the big band, and revitalises it within the symphonic context under new auspices and allows it to take off. All the soloists act like a picture within a picture within the big band, which oscillates between musical nucleus,…
Eduardo Polonio (1941–2024) was one of the foundational figures in the emergence and development of electroacoustic music in Spain. The anthology "Eduardo Polonio: Obra electroacústica 1969–1981" revives his legacy with a selection of essential pieces from his early electroacoustic period. The album includes eight compositions created between 1969 and 1981, spanning from Polonio's early experiments at the Alea Electronic Music Laboratory in Madrid to his later work at the Phonos Laboratory in Ba…
*2025 stock* "Stefan Winter, head of the Winter & Winter boutique label, has a different attitude to popularising classical music. Rather than relying on the familiarity of old favourites, he believes that contemporary classical music is more accessible than its ascetic, atonal reputation suggests, and can find an audience outside its assumed intellectual elite. Hence this compilation of excerpts from the label's catalogue…" - The Independent"Winter & Winter is something of a special case when i…
*2025 stock* “There is freshness, there is (self) irony, there is a desire - and for once let's say it without shame - to have fun with music. [...] Nature triumphs in all its aspects: noises and sounds of birds, pouring rain, thunder, animal cries, alternating on the lines of a fiddle violin.” - Corriere di Bologna
