Kettlitz, Friedrich : Rabolgs Bergwand [4 CDs] (Euphorium -- Germany ) Price: $24.95 In Stock Having collaborated with EUPHORIUM_freakestra and Gunter Baby Sommer, narrator and actor Friedrich Kettlitz presents a 4-CD set of sound poetry using a language that pretends to be German but expands upon his native tongue, his deep voice carrying innuendo, humor, seriousness and articulate expression that fascinates regardless of the listener's own language. |
Kasten-Krause, Tristan / Jessica Pavone: Images of One (Relative Pitch -- USA ) Price: $13.95 In Stock Violist Jessica Pavone and double bassist Tristan Kasten-Krause found they shared a similar aesthetic in sound and sonic structure while working together in other ensembles, their debut developed over two seasons of experimentation with string interactions of consonance and dissonance using distinct timbres and textures, heard in four patiently unfolding compositions. |
Silva, Susana Santos: All The Birds And A Telephone Ringing [VINYL] (thanatosis produktion -- Sweden ) Price: $21.95 In Stock Aside from her exceptional trumpet work in free improvisation settings, Portuguese trumpeter Susana Santos, currently based in Stockholm, is also an electro-acoustic composer, these six compelling compositions merging field recordings--particularly birds, waters and yes, a phone--along with her trumpet playing and Irish flute, the album title a reference to John Cage's book Silence. |
Zethson, Alex: Terje (Supertraditional -- Sweden ) Price: $9.95 In Stock Two movements from a live score for the classic silent film Terje Vigen by Sjöström composed and produced by Swedish pianist & keyboardist Alex Zethson (Angles 9, VÖ, Fire!
