I am extremely thrilled about this project, which will be a sequel to the 2022 triple album 'lieues d'ombres' with Jürg and Reinier, also on elsewhere.

This new triple album will feature nine more of Jürg Frey's solo piano pieces, including two newly written in 2024, 'Composer, alone' (1) and (2). All tracks will be recorded at The Muziekcentrum van de Omroep (MCO) in Hilversum this September, with the composer's presence.

​Samuel Reinhard - For Piano and Shō (elsewhere 032) is officially released! CDs are now available at the label's site and Bandcamp. Please check it out with another release: Adrián Demoč - Piano (Miroslav Beinhauer) (elsewhere 031)!

CD order/preorder and digital albums are now available on Bandcamp.
​

​Adrián Demoč - Piano (Miroslav Beinhauer) (elsewhere 031)

Piano is an album of three pieces, 'A Luca Marenzio ll', 'Ma fin est mon commencement', and 'Gebrechlichkeit', written by Slovak composer Adrián Demoč between 2018 and 2023. 

'Ma fin est mon commencement' and 'Gebrechlichkeit' were written with three performance options in mind: specific instrumentation, open instrumentation with a similar quality of timbre and register, and a "monochromatic polyphonic" instrument, preferably the piano. 'A Luca Marenzio ll' was originally written as 'A Luca Marenzio' for three instruments, with cello (or viola da gamba) as the required instrument and the other two instruments flexible, and 'A Luca Marenzio II' is the 'well-tempered' counterpart to the original piece for solo piano.​

Samuel Reinhard - For Piano and Shō (elsewhere 032) 

​"I've long been interested in exploring the elongation of the piano's decay. The shō's clean harmonics offered an enticing texture to incorporate into my experiments with slow-moving piano works." — Samuel Reinhard

To be slow and to be still: through his ongoing explorations of repetition, New York–based Swiss composer Samuel Reinhard extends this invitation to both listeners and the musicians who perform his compositions. For Piano and Shō brings together Haruna Higashida, a Tokyo-based gagaku performer active in contemporary music, and Copenhagen-based Canadian pianist Paul Jacob Fossum, who also performed on Reinhard’s 2023 release Two Pianos and String Trio. The album’s two pieces were recorded between Copenhagen and Tokyo, where Reinhard was in residence in 2023.
​

CDs and digital files are now available here on the elsewhere site.

Samuel Reinhard - For Piano and Shō (elsewhere 032) *CD release May 1

Samuel Reinhard - For Piano and Shō (elsewhere 032)

'For Piano and Shō' is an album consisting of two pieces written by NY-based Swiss composer Samuel Reinhard. The shō is played by Haruna Higashida, a Tokyo-based gagaku performer who is also active in contemporary music. The piano is played by Copenhagen-based Canadian pianist Paul Jacob Fossum, who also performed on Reinhard's 2023 release, 'Two Pianos and String Trio'. 

The two pieces were recorded partly in Tokyo in 2023, when Reinhard was in residence there, and partly in Copenhagen.  

(CD release: May 1, 2024. CD preorders and digital will start in late March)

In order to help fund our upcoming release schedule, we are offering 20% off everything* (CDs and digital on elsewhere, Erstwhile, Gravity Wave) through March 17 at midnight PST, both on Bandcamp and the label sites**.

The sale starts immediately, we have many new titles in the works coming out later this year and early next on both elsewhere and Erstwhile, and we will appreciate any support, and please spread the word, thanks!

coupon code: 2024

*Please note that this applies to everything except new releases from the past 12 months: elsewhere 027, 028-2, 029, and Erstwhile 095-2, 096, 097 and ErstSolo 007. the prices for these recent releases have been temporarily raised for both CD and digital, so please make sure to use the 20% off coupon to get them at the normal price.

-----------
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 [email protected].

International customers: taxes and customs charges and shipping charges have made it very pricy 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 ([email protected]) 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. 

Thank you for looking and hopefully participating!

Very happy to share the cover design of Adrián Demoč - Piano (Miroslav Beinhauer) (elsewhere 031), to be released in early April. Cover painting by Maria Filippakopoulou.

Pre-orders will start in early March.

​We are very excited to announce the first release for 2024 on elsewhere, coming in April.

Adrián Demoč - Piano (Miroslav Beinhauer) (elsewhere 031)

'Piano' is an album of three pieces written by Slovak composer Adrián Demoč between 2018 and 2023. They were performed and recorded by Czech pianist Miroslav Beinhauer at the Czech Radio Ostrava Studio.

I am happy to have the opportunity to present the piano works of one of my favorite composers, Adrián Demoč, and a fantastic pianist, Miroslav Beinhauer, whose sensibility is a perfect match for Adrián's compositions.

(CD release: April 5, 2024. CD preorders and digital will start in mid-March)
