​Hello,

In order to help finance our upcoming release projects (we have three new titles coming this April) and clear some storage space, we are offering 20% off everything on elsewhere for all of February, ending at the end of the month, both physical CDs and digital files. 

coupon code: 2023

-----------
a reminder of the best ways to order from us these days:

US customers: here or on our Bandcamp, whichever you prefer. If you want to add Erstwhile or Gravity Wave (both 20% off) or ErstDist items, you can order both via Erstwhile site, or please order directly to save your shipping fee, e-mail us at erstrecs@gmail.com.

International customers: taxes and customs charges and shipping charges have made it very hard in recent years, as you probably know. If you order digital files here on this site or directly by email, you will save money on VAT (while Bandcamp will charge tax), and if your order is bigger than a few CDs, send it to us via e-mail (erstrecs@gmail.com) and we will get you the proper shipping charges, and we are happy to give you Bandcamp codes also after payment. 
If you want to order just 1-2 CDs, here or Bandcamp should be fine, but if you want more, please e-mail us before ordering and we'll get you the proper shipping charges. 

We appreciate your very kind support of our labels, past and future, and hope you will be able to take advantage of this sale.

Thanks for looking and hopefully participating!

​Happy to announce another upcoming CD release on elsewhere for the spring of 2023.

Germaine Sijstermans / Koen Nutters / Reinier van Houdt - Circles, Reeds, and Memories (elsewhere 025)

Three Dutch composers/performers, Reinier van Houdt, Germaine Sijstermans, and Koen Nutters, have each released their own work on elsewhere music in recent years. The three had a concert last December at the Savelberg Chapel, a small church in Heerlen, Limburg (NL), where they played three trio pieces, one written by each: 'Linden' (Sijstermans), 'A Piece with Memories' (Nutters), and 'Harmonic Circles' (van Houdt). Using various instruments including clarinets, indian harmonium, harmona organ, voices, field recordings, sine tones, and tapes, the trio played in perfect sync for an hour, giving the three pieces rich, subtle layers while creating a sense of expansiveness, and enveloping the audience in a vibrant yet contemplative space.

TRACK LIST

1.  Linden (2020)   (Germaine Sijstermans)
2.  A Piece with Memories (2017)   (Koen Nutters)
3.  Harmonic Circles (2022)   (Reinier van Houdt)

Recorded live at the Savelberg Chapel in Heerlen, Limburg (NL)

*CD preorders will start in early March 2023

Happy to announce an upcoming CD release on elsewhere for the spring of 2023.
 
Giovanni Di Domenico / Silvia Tarozzi / Emmanuel Holterbach - L’Occhio Del Vedere (elsewhere 024) 

This is a one-hour piece by the trio of Giovanni Di Domenico (piano), Silvia Tarozzi (violin), and Emmanuel Holterbach (frame drum). In July 2022, while Di Domenico was working on an artistic residency at GMEA in Albi, France, he and Tarozzi and Holterbach made a trio recording, which was later completed by Di Domenico into a one-hour piece. Within a framework of the ‘triptych' structure, sparse melodies discreetly emerge from the three instruments, beautifully depicting a multidimensional spatial expanse, utilizing a wide dynamic range within a unique and mysterious stillness.

recorded by Benjamin Maumus, edited and mixed by Giovanni Di Domenico, and mastered by Taku Unami. 

​*CD preorders will start in early March 2023.

A combined interview of Jon Abbey and myself (Yuko Zama) on The Needle Drop about our two labels Erstwhile and elsewhere music, in which I talked about my label's orientation and so on. If you are interested in our labels, please check it out.
