The Amazon rainforest is almost mythical in its richness and diversity, and music inspired by it is often the same. On AMAZÔNIA, composer Miguel Kertsman captures the awe-inspiring beauty and fragility of one of the world’s natural wonders and pays homage to his homeland of Brazil.

To acclaimed pianist Christopher O’Riley, experimentation and eclecticism are second nature. Known for his sensitive piano arrangements of alternative music, he returns with LOTUSLAND: a riveting collection of popular hits, imbued with classical profundity and romantic pianism.

In a world increasingly revolving around DJs and techno beats, it's a breath of fresh air to watch and listen to the musically experienced members of the band "Bas Paardekooper." Born in Scheveningen, Bas was born and raised on music. His father played the accordion, and his son experimented with drums, piano, trumpet, accordion, and saxophone.

ALGOL is a new electroacoustic trio formed by Christian Lillinger (Germany), Elias Stemeseder (Austria), and Camilo Ángeles (Peru).

Bach’s Musical Offering, one of the most fascinating works in music history, still raises questions even after countless interpretations and performances. Composed three years before his death, it embodies everything that makes Bach so captivating: magnificent music that is consummate in all parameters, hidden messages, romantic-transfigured history, enigmatic masterpieces, numerology… and most often it is met by nebulous, apprehensive respect.

To a large degree Songs From The Cane Fields delivered on the promise foreshadowed in the title of its predecessor.

Inner Spaces is a collaboration between Iraqi-American trumpeter, santur player, vocalist, and composer Amir ElSaffar and electronics virtuoso Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch.

For nearly the entirety of the “Wicked: One Wonderful Night” TV special, which aired on NBC Thursday night, the performances were focused on Stephen Schwartz’s songs from the two “Wicked” movies. But for the two-hour show’s climax, stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo veered deliciously off-topic to cover a medley of songs first made famous 62 years ago by Barbra Streisand and Judy Garland.

Acclaimed electronic musicians, producers and sound architects Max Cooper and Rob Clouth team up for a new collaborative EP; a dark, playful four-track dive into ambient, breakbeat and techno’s subconscious flow, featuring a standout vocal performance from South London rapper FLOHIO. Recorded over a series of spontaneous London sessions, “8 Billion Realities” channels years of creative exchange between two of the genre’s most quietly innovative artists and is a result of a decision between the longtime friends to refrain from conceptual overthinking in favour of instinct and joy. As long-time admirers of each other’s audio/visual work, Cooper and Clouth collaborated in London together after both emerging from intense, idea-heavy album cycles. What followed was a series of exploratory sessions, half-improvised, half-built around half-formed thoughts. The result is a club-ready EP that feels alive and human: imperfect and hypnotically rich.

Violinist HuanLing Qian, originally from China but with ties to Poland, presents an album of contemporary classical violin music by composers from the Middle Kingdom.

The elite Heidelberg choir and the ensemble aisthesis, specializing in contemporary music, acquaint us with Biró’s imaginative and multi-layered music, which reflects the thought-world of the eminent Dutch-Jewish philosopher Baruch Spinoza in sound and pours it into new contexts. A listening experience spanning cultures and epochs!

When Markus stayed with us for a week, after one of his tours got cancelled, we improvised together for hours each day. We recorded our experiments, and we puzzled over the hovering nocturnal mood of our explorations. Of course we were channeling the situation of our lives and of the world, perhaps a dissonance between the realms of comfort and distress, distance from family or a larger distance from our hopes for the human herd. As artists, we take a shamanic path, and we trend toward the outlying regions of cognition. Our musical mood during these sessions reminded me of the books by Peter Kingsley, about pre-Socratic mystics Parmenides and Empedocles, who’s meditative approach of “incubation” planted a more earthy and subterranean core to ancient European philosophy. Consider this musical excursion as subterranean, seeking balance inside of dark silence. Markus and I share a deep friendship based on searching, questioning, practice, and a sort of alchemical process of creating things that never existed before, from within our life journeys.
