​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 [email protected].

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 ([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. 

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, objects, and tapes, the trio played in perfect synch, giving the three pieces rich, complex layers of sound and profundity, enveloping the audience in a vibrant yet contemplative space.

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) 
​
L’Occhio Del Vedere is a 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). 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 as a one-hour piece. 
 
Within a ‘triptych’ structure framework, sparse melodies discreetly and repeatedly emerge from the three instruments, each time with slightly different textures. The delicate sounds created by the three musicians intersect, sometimes in harmony, sometimes distantly, and beautifully delineate a multidimensional expanse of space with a wide dynamic range and a mysterious atmosphere.

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

​*CD preorders will start in early March 2023.
