Ivan Vukosavljević - Slow Roads (elsewhere 027)
*CD release: September 21, 2023 (CDs are in stock) 'Slow Roads' is an album of eight pieces written by Hague-based Serbian composer Ivan Vukosavljević between 2019 and 2022, for solo 1/4 comma meantone organ. All eight pieces were recorded in 2022 on five different historic organs, dating from the early 16th to mid-17th centuries, located in medieval churches scattered throughout the countryside of the northern Netherlands. Each piece was adapted for a specific organ, as they vary considerably in their disposition. All eight pieces are written in unmeasured notation, with bars removed and only rhythms and phrase contours suggested.

Disc 1 features Guy Vandromme (keyboards) and Adriaan Severins (field recordings and synthesizer), both based in Belgium.

Jürg Frey - Les Signes Passagers (Keiko Shichijo - fortepiano) (elsewhere 029)
*CD release: November 1, 2023 'Les signes passagers' is an album of seven pieces for solo fortepiano written by Jürg Frey in 2021, commissioned by the Amsterdam-based pianist Keiko Shichijo. It was premiered by Shichijo on February 5, 2022 at the Concertgebouw Brugge during the SLOW Festival. In the same year, Shichijo performed the piece again at the November Music 2022 and later recorded it for this album in April 2023 at the Concertgebouw Brugge in the presence of the composer. “As a listener, I have experienced with music played on early piano instruments for many years. And it has become more and more clear to me how delicate the influence of the sound of the instrument is on the inspiration of the composer." "If the modern piano tries to get a constant brilliance over the whole keyboard, in the fortepiano there are worlds between the middle, the high and the low register. The whole construction of the instrument is so subtle, and every movement, the slightest change in registers and density of chords immediately opens a variety of colors, new perspectives and emotions.” – Jürg Frey

Giovanni Di Domenico / Silvia Tarozzi / Emmanuel Holterbach - L’Occhio Del Vedere (elsewhere 024) I've been fascinated by this one-hour piece by the trio of Giovanni Di Domenico (piano), Silvia Tarozzi (violin, 1/16th of a tone tuned violin), and Emmanuel Holterbach (large frame drum) since the moment I first heard it. It resonates deeply with the aesthetic of the work that my label hopes to bring to the world, and I am very happy to be able to add this fantastic CD to my label's catalog. Many thanks to Giovanni, Silvia, and Emmanuel for this great piece, and also to Emmanuel for his beautiful cover photograph. (YZ) > CD preorder Germaine Sijstermans / Koen Nutters / Reinier van Houdt - Circles, Reeds, and Memories (elsewhere 025) When I heard this live recording of the trio last December, I was amazed at the immense power that the rapport between the three - Germaine, Koen, and Reinier - created in the music, even though it was only their first meeting as a trio. I have listened to it numerous times since then until now, and every time the quality of the music makes me feel very happy that I decided to release it. Many thanks to Germaine, Koen, and Reinier for these amazing pieces/performances, and to Taku Unami for his magical mastering as always. (YZ) > CD preorder Jürg Frey: Continuité, fragilité, résonance (Quatuor Bozzini / Konus Quartett) (elsewhere 026) After a year and a half of planning and various delays due to the Covid pandemic, I am thrilled to finally have this major project completed. Both Quatuor Bozzini and Konus Quartett realized this Frey double quartet piece in a supreme performance and showed me a compelling new aspect in Frey's compositions that I had not known before. My sincere thanks to Jürg for this beautiful piece, to the musicians of both quartets for their blissful performance, and to Fabio Oehrli for his exquisite engineering work from recording to mastering.
