Melaine Dalibert - Infinite Ascent (elsewhere 012)  

​Shira Legmann - Giacinto Scelsi: Suite No.9 / Quattro illustrazioni / Un Adieu (elsewhere 013)  

Jürg Frey - l'air, l'instant - deux pianos (elsewhere 014)  

​Happy to reveal the final cover design of Jürg Frey: l'air, l'instant - deux pianos (performed by Reinier van Houdt / Dante Boon) (elsewhere 014), to be released in November as one of the three upcoming elsewhere piano series CDs. (Cover art by Sylvain Levier, design by Yuko Zama)

The final master will be done very soon. We will start accepting CD preorder on this site and at Bandcamp in mid-October, as well as the other two new elsewhere titles (012/013). 

So glad to have Sylvain Levier's wonderful artwork on this album cover, which perfectly resonates with Jürg Frey's extremely subtle yet profoundly captivating pieces for two pianos.

The final master is perfectly done thanks to Taku Unami's great work. We are very happy with the result. Congrats to Shira, and thanks also to Shira for her amazing performances of Scelsi's piano pieces. Also, many thanks to David Sylvian for his beautiful photograph on the cover as well as his artwork for Melaine's CD cover.

Happy to reveal the final cover design of Melaine Dalibert - Infinite Ascent (elsewhere 012), to be released in early November as one of the three upcoming elsewhere piano series CDs. 

The album title 'Infinite Ascent' was conceived by David Sylvian who also contributed his artwork for the album cover.

"On listening to the album for first time I felt what I’d describe, for want of better terminology, a 'cosmic expansiveness'. Vibrational waves traversing the universe, a lone satellite, released from earth’s gravitational pull, spinning infinitely into the bright darkness. I ascribed to it a somewhat solitary migration. Not despite, but because of this, I found it a profoundly moving listening experience." - David Sylvian

​Dear customers of Erstwhile, Elsewhere, Gravity Wave,

I hope you are all safe and well-protected wherever you are during this difficult time. I will go to the post office to send out all the recent orders for our labels on tomorrow, Monday 3/23 (many thanks to those who recently bought our CDs!)

Meanwhile, considering the rapidly increasing risk of COVID-19, we are reducing the number of our post office trips for a while after tomorrow to be safe. I will wear an N95 mask and will be extra careful with the frequent use of hand sanitizer tomorrow, so no worry at all. ;)

So this could be our last post office trip for a while, depending on how the situation in NJ develops from here, so if you are considering placing an order for any of our labels or ErstDist, please let us know by email or via Bandcamp + label's website by tomorrow?

We apologize for this inconvenience but hope that this situation will be resolved safely at some point in the future, so we can go back to our regular prompt shipping routine as soon as possible. 

In the meantime, we are happy to accept any order for our digital albums from now and this is a good time to better publicize a policy we have always had: if you buy digital files of a CD and then later decide to get the CD, we are happy to credit you for the original purchase and just charge the difference plus shipping, and that is still true now. 

Also for those ordering CDs through Bandcamp, you can of course DL the files right away and then we will ship the CDs as soon as we can. 

Thank you so much for your kind understanding and generous support for our labels.
Stay safe and hope you can have a nice Sunday (at home), maybe with some good music!

Yuko and Jon

The entire elsewhere catalog is now available for streaming services including Tidal, Qobuz, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, Amazon Music, Google Play, etc.

The streaming preparation is still in process for some platforms, but for now, I listed all the available links for streaming below, so please check those out. I will list the additional links as they are ready, too.
This is a difficult time for everyone on earth, but I hope that you will enjoy streaming elsewhere's music and can find some comfort or peace of mind from that. (You can get the physical CDs or digital albums on Bandcamp as well as on this website, too.)

I am going to give a large share of the streaming revenue to the artists, so the more you listen, the more will go to the musicians! (FYI, the streaming services that pay the most for our music per listen are the HD 24-bit Tidal and Qobuz, so those are the best to use if possible.)
​
Stay safe (and stay home if you can) while staying hopeful, and enjoy streaming elsewhere!
