Silent friend of those far from us, feeling how your breath is still enlarging space, fill the sombre belfry with your pealing. Late Music is pleased to present a new collection of music for chamber ensembles and for solo performers - for organs, strings, trombones, woodwinds, voices, electronics - make the crier’s a choir, we say!

Canadian composer Amy Brandon has a penchant for examination of phenomena in her music, finding rarefied beauty in refined and unbridled noise, experimentation with alternate tuning, and innovative instrumental approaches. Lysis features performances by Alkali Collective, Chartreuse Trio, Quatour Bozzini, Symphony Nova Scotia with Jeffrey Ziegler, Julian Bertino, Sara Constant, India Gailey, Leah Plave, Jeffrey Stonehouse, Gwenaelle Ratouit, Daniel Áñez, and Brandon herself on electronics.

Intermedial, occasionally multimedia, filmic, (photo-)graphic, electro-acoustic, radiophonic, instrumental, improvisational, notated, installative and collaborative. Nikolaus Heyduck is not just an artist and composer, he is a sound artist, an actor active in various aesthetic metiers. Seven of his works created in recent years can be heard here.

The work of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio (La Paz, 1955) is indissolubly linked to the project of the Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos [Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments] (OEIN), which he co-founded in 1980 and of which he is the emeritus director. It constitutes one of the most challenging adventures in the music that has emerged in Bolivia and Latin America.

A stunning four disc epic, 'Long Gradus: Arrangements' reveals the sheer depth of her process by presenting work in four separate arrangements: strings, woodwinds, brass & organ and choir & electronics. Glacially slow to encourage the deepest possible listening, it's an immersive, psychoacoustic delight.

Cycles of Formation from John Ritz presents varying degrees of prescribed musical material and open-form elements. Each piece explores the potential interactions between human performance and interactive computer signal processing algorithms within a particular musical context. Featuring jazz pianist Gabe Evens, and classical percussionist Greg Byrne, and Ritz himself as the album’s composer, cellist, and analog synthesizer, this Ravello Records release delivers a stimulating world of electroacoustic sound, a smooth blend of suspense and innovation.

"Melodies, harmonies and arrangements on James Murray’s new album Soundflowers arise from a generative compositional approach centred around the Torso T-1 algorithmic sequencer. When technology is invited to seed the natural order the process can yield collaborative sonic forms that spontaneously, unexpectedly unfurl within the composer’s care.

Here I am. Immersed in moods, colors, wide open landscapes, states of mind. Solitude of our time, loneliness in the middle of urban crowds. These are some of the things, related to my existence, that I want to make audible in my music. No matter how hard I try to venture elsewhere, be something else, exist differently, there is always something that draws me back to myself, to my own personal experiencing and feeling self.

Transversales Disques is very glad to announce the release of Solitude Transit, unpublished archives by electroacoustic music pioneer Luc Ferrari. Music composed for contemporary dance, choregraphed by Anne-Marie Reynaud. Affiliated with French Radio's Groupe de Musique Concrète, co-founder of the GRM with Pierre Schaeffer in 1958, Luc Ferrari (1929-2005), a major figure of musique concrète and electroacoustic music broke away to pave his own path of individualistic expressions of minimalist music, musical theater, field recordings, orchestral music and soundtracks.

Grips documents a live performance and the first-time meeting between double bassists Amanda Irarrázabal (Chile) and Nat Baldwin (US). The show was organized by promoter Jessica Hallock of NYC Noise, aligning with a week of performances for Irarrázabal in NYC before attending a residency at Art Omi.

For the first time, the complete electroacoustic works of Xenakis are now available on record! All tracks have been newly mixed by longtime zeitkratzer sound engineer Martin Wurmnest and mastered by Rashad Becker and finally reveal their full sonic range and dynamics. Booklet with English / German liner notes by R. Friedl (zeitkratzer) and rare photos from the Xenakis archive.

Have you ever experienced sound melting through your headphones? Maybe you’ve heard real-time spectral disintegration of an air raid siren? What about purposeful deformation of the natural order of sound itself? No? If those experiences pique your interest, then Tonband, an album of premiere recordings performed by Yarn / Wire will deliver a soundworld unlike anything you’ve heard before.

Electro-acoustic sound sculptor Siavash Amini's latest full-length is inspired by a series of repeating nightmares and Muhammad ibn Mahmoud Hamadâni’s ‘Book of marvels’. It's safe to say it's a transportive experience in textural microtonality: suffocating at times and distressing at others, but with occasional cracks of sunlight.
