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.

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. 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) 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.
