Trios (6CD Box)
In the final decade of his life, Morton Feldman turned his attention to the trio format with an intensity that would yield some of the most profound and uncompromising music of the twentieth century. Between 1978 and 1984, he composed three monumental works for flute, piano and percussion that together constitute an immense meditation on time, memory and the irreducible strangeness of sound itself. This landmark 6CD box set from Another Timbre presents all three pieces — totalling six and a half…
Ratchet Attach It
Other Minds is pleased to present Ratchet Attach It by the Bay Area composer and impresario Charles Amirkhanian. Commissioned by Errollyn Wallen, the UK’s Royal Composer, for the 2021 Spitalfields Festival in London, Ratchet Attach It continues—and crowns—Amirkhanian's career-long fascination with the noisiest of percussion instruments: the ratchet. "The sound up close of a concert orchestral ratchet can be hair-raising," Amirkhanian writes in his composer's notes. "Also, full of bird-chirping-l…
Re-Genetic
Two works by Netherlands-based Argentine composer Claudio F Baroni where recorded speech is set against acoustic and electronic pitched sounds. The instrumental material emerges entirely from digitally aided speech analysis, which identifies occurrences of Western scale pitches within the natural intonations of speech.From these pitches, Baroni selects and assigns certain tones to instruments and electronics. The scores consist of the written speech text paired with musical notes, precisely alig…

Buh Records presents Anthology 2: Works for the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments, a double album that deepens the exploration of the work of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio (La Paz, 1955) and his inseparable bond with the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments (OEIN), the project he co-founded in 1980 and of which he is now emeritus director.

Horae / Celebration of Golden Rain / Concerto for Organ and Orchestra
1995 release (light storage wear) **
String Quartet No. 3 / Unhörbare Zeit
2015 release **
"Two works, Frey's third string quartet (2010-2014) and a piece for string quartet and two percussionists (2004-2006), with Quatuor Bozzini on each, assisted by Lee Ferguson and Christian Smith on the latter. I get the impression that if you half-listened to the string quartet, you might get the impression of stasis and self-similarity though nothing could be further from the truth. In his notes, Frey compares it to "the silence of a square, a room, a wall or a landscape" and tha…
Slow Songs
2015 release **
"Eleven songs for voice and lute by the Swiss singer and composer Marianne Schuppe. The instrumentation taps a deep historical channel, back to Dowland and beyond. But Schuppe doesn’t pluck her lute. Instead she uses e-bows to turn a melodic accompanying instrument into an environment, an ancient combination updated to reflect a contemporary preference for objects over stories. The songs are simple melodies, sometimes folklike (ballads and laments more than dances), but with word…
Appearance/Music for Solo Performer
Big tip! Beyond Rare! These historical recordings of a 1967 concert at Hope College in Michigan involving John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi and David Tudor, performing compositions by Ichiyanagi and Alvin Lucier, were recently discovered in an archive in Japan. The Lucier piece, "Music for Solo Performer", was the first musical composition to utilize human brainwaves; this 1967 performance, released here for the first time, is an early realization of the piece, featuring Tudor, Ichiyanagi and Lowell C…
