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.

Michael Pisaro-Liu - A room outdoors (Guy Vandromme / Adriaan Severins / Luciana Elizondo / Fabio Gionfrida) (elsewhere 028-2)
*CD release: November 1, 2023

'A room outdoors' is a 48 minute piece written in 2006 by Michael Pisaro-Liu for sustaining instrument, harmonium and field recordings. This was the first work in which Pisaro-Liu incorporated field recordings into his score.
 
This double CD contains two different realizations of the piece, one made in Brussels during the lockdown in April 2020 and one in Cremona, Italy in June 2023. Disc 1 features Guy Vandromme (keyboards) and Adriaan Severins (field recordings and synthesizer), both based in Belgium. Disc 2 features Luciana Elizondo (viola da gamba) and Fabio Gionfrida (field recordings), both based in Italy, in collaboration with Vandromme (Indian harmonium).

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

Happy to reveal the final cover design of Jürg Frey - Les Signes Passagers (Keiko Shichijo) (elsewhere 029) to be released on elsewhere in early November. Cover drawing by Jürg Frey.

CD preorders will start on Bandcamp and the elsewhere site in late September.

Happy to announce three upcoming releases on elsewhere for the fall of 2023. This time, for a series of three, we will present three works by contemporary composers that primarily or partially use early music instruments. I am so thrilled to be able to release these fantastic musicians' works. (To be released on November 1, 2023)
