what came before me is going after me
No Hay Banda teams up with composer Zihua Tan to release his debut album of two stunning works composed for the group's musicians: the percussion solo 'remnants present', and the quintet 'what came before me is going after me' featuring violin, cello, voice, percussion and ondes Martenot.
'What came before me is going after me', lantern consciousness heightened, delicate hums were all that I could discern. They were loud, the hums, more deafening than inner dialogues trapped in a jar. For a mom…

The Garden Of A Former House Turned Museum
*2025 stock* In „The Garden of a Former House Turned Museum”, Chloë Lum and Yannick Desranleau feature a sung correspondence between an anonymous contemporary interlocutor and the Brazilian author Clarice Lispector (1920–77), an important 20th-century literary figure.

Played by four different performers (all sung by Sarah Albu), the protagonist addresses Li…

Signals
Huge tip! Following her 2025 minimalist/ambient album ‘just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities’ on Shelter Press, Okkyung Lee moves in another direction with London’s Explore Ensemble. Flung is proud to present Signals, a release that eludes categorisation while shifting between electronics, acoustic composition, and improvisation. It places Lee’s improvisational language in dialogue with the instrumentalists of Explore Ensemble’s sextet, whom together become …
Given
"The piece given may be characterized as a certain activity, a special kind of practice. We practice as a trio (two players and one producer), hoping that anything might emerge: we gather to share a beautiful time together, exchanging our hopes and longings, our suffering, and our pain. Why should there be music at all? Faced with this question and considering the state of our world, artists could often find themselves drawn toward a sense of meaninglessness. But this is not the end. In the face…

Star Trail
In Star Trail, José Luis Hurtado sculpts a luminous universe of sound—music that resembles light itself: expanding, reflecting, distorting. Through multilayered “parametric counterpoint,” space triumphs over time, revealing textures that shimmer between structure and spontaneity. Each work—Electric Dust, The Untitled 3S, In the Space of Time, Mutual Gravity, and the title piece Star Trail—unfolds as a sound installation of infinite possibilities, where every gesture refracts into new meaning. Bo…
Sounds, Archaeologies
Sounds, Archaeologies brings together works by Isabel Mundry that understand listening as an active, participatory process. Arising from the experience of a transformed acoustic environment, the composer opens her music to a dialogue with history, material, and cultural grounding. In the title piece for basset horn, violoncello, and piano, Mundry excavates the “sediments of our musical history” – sound becomes an archaeological find linking past and present. Balancing reflection and intuition, s…
Naturstudium III
In Naturstudium III, Luis Tabuenca, together with Les Percussions de Strasbourg, explores the sonic worlds of the Baschet sound sculptures—resonant bodies of metal, glass, and wood that oscillate between instrument and architecture. From their dialogue emerges a new musical grammar and hybrid notation that seeks to capture the fleeting nature of these resonances. Recorded by Neu Records in immersive sound, Naturstudium III is more than documentation: it is a spatial experience of vibration, reve…
For 10 Musicians
Samuel Reinhard returns to elsewhere music with “For 10 Musicians,” a four-part ensemble piece recorded in 2025 at the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen.
Gorgeous nothings
Laura Cetilia's cello works evoke the sense of crossing the threshold between traditional classical music and experimental soundscapes. Within an acoustic resonance that respects the natural reverberations of a space, rippling waves of subtle disturbances conjure a mixed sensation of classical roots and a refreshing encounter with the unknown. This offers a glimpse into a vast and profound world that is uniquely Cetilia's own. 'gorgeous nothings' is an album of three pieces composed by Cetilia, …
Helmut Lachenmann Complete Piano Works
*The only edition ever released that has all his piano works collected* The piano has been with Lachenmann almost throughout his composing life of seven decades. Yet the instrument is by no means always the same. Lachenmann’s determination has been to go on finding new possibilities – almost a new voice for the piano in every piece, a voice with which it can speak that piece, as it has not spoken before. Perhaps the Schubert variations of 1956 could be understood as a farewell to traditional pia…
Betsy Jolas: Femme le soir
Femme le soir immerses listeners in Betsy Jolas’s world of memory, inquisition, and fleeting radiance, performed by Anssi Karttunen (cello) and Nicolas Hodges (piano). These pieces unravel at the tempo of spoken thought, suspending lyrical lines in unhurried motion and sudden illumination.
Chopin & Lazkano: Préludes
This double portrait places Chopin’s beloved Préludes in nimble counterpoint with new ensemble works from Ramon Lazkano, translated by Maroussia Gentet and Ensemble Cairn under Guillaume Bourgogne. The result is both homage and reinvention, unlocking resonances between eras through lyric immediacy and textural experiment.
Sarah Nemtsov: Tzimtzum
Tzimtzum imagines four sweeping new orchestral canvases from Sarah Nemtsov, weaving Ensemble Nikel’s hybrid-electric force with WDR Sinfonieorchester’s expressive palette under Peter Rundel. Her music traces broken cycles - rupture, echo, and repair - through deeply textured instrumentations and bold structural arcs.
Drift
James Opstad is probably better known as the double bassist with Apartment House than as a composer. But this should change with this release—the first CD of his music as a composer. Five beautiful pieces tracking the evolution of Opstad's work as it moves from textural electro-acoustic music to pieces exploring the layering of instruments playing at slightly different tempi.
The album begins with "Nymphaea" (2020), performed by the GBSR Duo (Siwan Rhys, piano; George Barton, vibraphone), follow…
The Willow Bends and So Do I
This hour-long ensemble piece from 2024, recorded in Stockholm, marks the twelfth album by Swedish composer Magnus Granberg on Another Timbre. Granberg, born in Umeå in 1974, studied saxophone and improvisation at the University of Gothenburg and in New York, but is self-taught as a composer. He formed his ensemble Skogen in 2005 to integrate experiences, methods and materials from various traditions of improvised and composed musics into a new modus operandi. Apart from his ongoing work with Sk…

The album presents works that showcase Kondo’s unique compositional language—mar…
