Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

""Glissando I" And "Glissando II" are two realizations of the same score. "Glissando I" was performed on a street corner in Ridgewood, New York, in june 2020. "Glissando II" was performed in Washington Square Park in November 2020.

In July 2020 i recorded "Quintet I" in Marblehead, Massachusetts. "Quintet II" shares this piece's fingerwork, but calls for different breathwork. It was realized with Ella Heron, Sophia O'brien-Udry, Story Ponvert, and Matthew Tuggle in February 2021, near the same corner in Ridgewood where i recorded "Glissando I." This joyful, friendly occasion was the keystone of the record sliding quietly into place."-Eli Neuman-Hammond

Ella Heron: electrons, airwaves, and soil. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

"I am a sound artist, educator, aspiring agrarian, and fullstack software engineer. After graduating magna cum laude from the CUNY Baccalaureate program with a B.S. in Sound Studies, I completed an apprenticeship in regenerative agriculture through the Savanna Institute, and moved to Philly to continue deepening my relationship to the urban environment. I see software development as an extension of this work, allowing me to support the initiatives that I care about, whether that is moving air waves, soil, or binary code. I am passionate about using my skills to advance transformative social and ecological justice at all levels, from culturing microbes to redirecting flows in the global carbon web."

8 Stimmen1
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
A series of eight "voices" for piano, extended minimal works slowly unfolding in the performance of composer Carlo Inderhees' "8 stimmen" composition for solo piano, expressed by Guy Vandromme as the piece answers the questions "what is music made of?" with the word "voices: a sequence of sounds and silences, with its own consistency".
Beuger, Antoine
Laments [2 CDs]
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Wandelweiser composer and performer Antoine Beuger reflects, or more correctly, laments, in nine solo vocal works of profound emotional depth, utterances first on the dearth of time and the vicissitudes and intersections we face; then on mourning and grief, a requiem that extolls the listener to use our voice to confront sadness that we may gain strength from it.
Bober, Max
Somos
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Four works by Argentinian composer Max Bober living in Warsaw, Poland, performed in solo, duo and trio configurations by pianist Alejandro Peña Gutiérrez, flutists Francisco Rojas and Clara Peláez Hidalgo, and soprano Natalia Jarosiewicz; fragile works of depth and beauty that unfold gracefully.
Merce, Sergio
En Lugar De Pensar
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
One circular and one continuous composition from Argentinian composer Sergio Merce, using rich tones like clouds of sound generated by a microtonal saxophone, synthesizer and wind synth, the title referring to his sense of music a channel to see, to reveal, a channel that opens through intuition, observation and attention but not through thinking; beautiful.
Barco, Sergio Cote
Pink Noise(s) In Prime Numbers
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
"An invitation into our perceptual periphery, where noise(s) — and perhaps we — can be somewhat disobedient" read the liner notes to Colombian composer Sergio Cote Barco's sound work, three compositions from extreme minimalism and silence to rich sound, each varying the topography and envelopes of sound, ostensibly performed by "electronic music".
Gerard, Pierre
Imprevu Visible Inverse
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Using guitars, violin, electronics, field recordings, abstract voice, and a "sound knife in the sand", Pierre Gerard recorded this set of 13 works in Liege, Belgium, and Wimereux, France, in 2019, using intuitive approaches to his minimalist electroacoustic compositions as he assembles his elements to convey human gesture and architectural form in sound.
Good, Kevin
Slow, Silent, Singing
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
The centerpiece of composer Kevin Good's "Slow" series is this evening-length glockenspiel solo, performed by San Diego based glockenspiel player Michael Jones, the composition of slow, melodic fragments that are increasingly permeated by swathes of silence of increasing length, exploring how the expressivity of the melodies are perceived and framed by these silences.
Strieff, Peter
Chronos-Kairos
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Exploring the difference between the two Greek concepts of time--chronos (measurable) and kairos (qualitative moments)--Bern composer Urs Peter Schneider's 1973 composition uses synthesizers to measure, divide, experience, forget, free from, and embody time; plus a 1968 composition with Ensemble Nueue Horizon Bern, and two recent works with Ensemble Montaigne.
Power, Ian
Diligence
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Two works for solo instrumentalists by Baltimore composer Ian Power, both written in 1984: "mahrem bir eser | a private work" using microtonal harmonics and electronic noise, performed by cellist Mariel Robers and recorded in 2016 at Brandeis Univeristy; and "swathe" using overtone and microtone performed by clarinetist Gleb Kanasevich and recorded in NYC in 2019.
Wittenburg, Florian
Beyond The Traceries
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Various facets of German composer and experimenter Florian Wittenburg's interests, in two iterations of two pieces and two compositions, using voice, vibraphones and ringing bowls, treated electronically to emphasize unique characteristics of sound from warmly rich to mysteriously fragile, balanced with space and careful timing; a valuable introduction to his work.
Guedon, Yannick
L'insistance Des Possibles
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
French voice artist and composer Yannick GuŽdon living in Brussels composed this extended work, the title translating to "insistence on possibilities", realized with cellist Deborah Walker and violist Cyprien Busolini, Guédon merging extended utterance into long string drones, contrasted with silence, as the piece moves through very specific placement.
Wong, Eric
Cognitive Dissonance
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Guitarist, computer musician, and improviser Eric Wong (D.N.A.N.D.N.A. with Simon Rose) focuses on sound textures and perception of sound, in three works composed using Ableton Live that explore concepts of psychoacoustic sound through dissonance, harmonic interference and hallucinatory sound, slowly developing works of rich sonic characteristic.
Nordheim / Schmidt / Weinheimer
Das Gekochte
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Sharing compositional credits with the title translating to "the cooked", the trio of Andreas Nordheim on cornet, Ole Schmidt on clarinets, and Chris Weinheimer on flutes, with pianist Jan Gerdes guesting on one piece, present 16 recordings of minimalist harmonic and tonal development, mysterious and haunting works are taxonomically named by their location.
Shepard, Craig
Broken Silence
(Music For Contemplation, Inc.)
The music to composer Craig Shepards performance work that presents listeners with text drawn from court testimony in the sex abuse scandal in the Catholic Church, here concentrating on the quiet long tones generated by wind instruments and ebow strings, where pure tones pass between the musicians to build a pulsating chord that then drops away tone by tone.
Frey, Jurg
Fields, Traces, Clouds
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Three compositions from clarinetist and Wandelweiser peer Jurg Frey, performed by Luke Martin on electric guitar, Laura Cetilia on cello, J.P.A. Falzone on piano & vibraphone, Morgan Evans-Weiler on violin, and Jurg Frey himself on clarinet; beautifully reflective music indicating Frey's working method and his relationship with wide, quiet sound spaces.

Ensemble Works [2 CDS]
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
Three detailed and fragile compositions from German minimalist composer Eva-Maria Houben reveal themselves over two CDs, performed by the Boston-based experimental music ensemble, Ensemble Ordinary Affects, with Houben herself on organ recording at Memorial Chapel, in Wesleyan University, CT: three movements from "echo fantasy"; "gesang XI"; and "unter anderen".

(Edition Wandelweiser Records)

Zumthor, Peter Conradin
Things Are Going Down
(Edition Wandelweiser Records)
The title's play on words for Swiss percussionist Peter Conradin Zumthor's piano compositions is explained by his performance being effected by piano tuner Rene Waldhauser while playing, the piano being slowly detuned while Zumthor plays a series of aggressive key separations in a percussive manner, the modified tuning generating unexpected turbulence and harmonic overtones.
