Composer Sylvia Lim's quietly individualistic chamber works explore fragility, decay and timbral richness across solo, duo, trio and small ensemble settings, using prepared cello, resonant piano, clarinets, percussion and guitars to let intimate gestures, unstable sounds and microscopic details slowly unfold into hushed, tactile sound worlds.

A portrait of UK interdisciplinary composer Paul Newland's music through five pieces dating from 2009 to 2023 performed by members of London's Apartment House ensemble, including a string quartet, two different trio combinations, a short work for solo piano, and a score for open instrumentation, realised in this recording by a septet.
