The second disc is a collection of four pieces from 2021-2022, created to be paired with the original six pieces and made during the subsequent phase of lockdown.

Happy to reveal the final cover designs of the upcoming three new elsewhere titles, to be released in late September. CD preorders will start on Bandcamp and the elsewhere site in early September.  Michael Pisaro-Liu - Tombstones (performed by Barbara Dang and Muzzix) (elsewhere 017) Tombstones is a collection of twenty songs composed by American composer Michael Pisaro-Liu between 2006 and 2010, journeying into experimental pop with pieces that are "experimental or indeterminate but still a song". Eleven of the songs were previously released on vinyl from Human Ear Music in 2012 (and on CD in 2013), with an ensemble of nine musicians including Julia Holter, Lisa Tolentino, Laura Steenberge, Tashi Wada and Cassia Streb. This disc features the same eleven songs under the artistic direction of the Lille-based pianist Barbara Dang. Dang and six members of the Muzzix collective (Yoann Bellefont, Ivann Cruz, Raphaël Godeau, Peter Orins, Christian Pruvost, Maryline Pruvost) recorded the pieces in June 2020, with Maryline Pruvost as the primary vocalist. While the 2013 ‘Tombstones’ release on Human Ear Music featured four different singers, and had experimental, impromptu arrangements, this new realization, with one main singer (Maryline Pruvost), is poetically nuanced, ethereal, pop-influenced chamber music. Mastered by Michael Pisaro-Liu. The cover painting was created by Athens-based painter Maria Filippakopoulou.  Jordan Dykstra / Koen Nutters - In Better Shape Than You Found Me (elsewhere 018) In Better Shape Than You Found Me is a one-hour piece jointly composed and realized by American composer/violist Jordan Dykstra and Dutch composer/musician Koen Nutters in the year 2020. Dykstra plays viola, pitch pipe, crotales, piano EBow, electronic programming, field recordings, and Nutters delivers the piano programming and field recordings. The two bring together their sounds and structures in very organic ways, merging into a single, intriguing sound world. Mastered by Taku Unami, photography by David Sylvian.  Guy Vandromme - Bruno Duplant: l'infini des possibles (12 études pour piano) (elsewhere 019-2)
l'infini des possibles is a set of twelve studies for solo piano, written by French composer Bruno Duplant in 2019. The score consists of lowercase letters (a, b, c, d, e, f, g) and spaces in between, which leaves the pianist an openness for interpretation and artistic determinations. The Belgian pianist/conductor Guy Vandromme intensely studied these 12 pieces via in-depth discussions with Duplant over two years, and realized them for this recording of a double CD in the spring of 2021, on a Steinway & Son C-Grand from 1896 at his home studio in Messelbroek. Mixed, mastered, cover art by Bruno Duplant.

Cover painting by Maria Filippakopoulou. 'wind and light' is dedicated to Antoine Beuger. CD preorders are available on Bandcamp and the elsewhere site.
