​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.
