Another Timbre
Recommendations from other labels
Below are some discs released on other labels that you might enjoy if you like the music on Another Timbre. The list is by no means exhaustive; there are plenty of excellent discs that I just haven’t heard yet. But these are some recommendations that I can vouch for.
Jakob Ullmann - Fremde Zeit - Addendum
Lovely ultra-quiet 3-CD set re-articulating
Ullmann’s whispered mysticism. Highly
recommended. On Edition RZ
John Butcher & Toshimaru Nakamura -
Dusted Machinery. Powerful saxophone
and electronics duo from two excellent
musicians. On Monotype
Reinhold Friedl -Mutanza
Fine exploration of the piano through a
range of composed pieces by the likes of
Lachenmann, Bertoncini, Lucier & Niblock.
On Bocian Records
Radu Malfatti - Darenootodesuka
Really lovely minimalist composition for
sextet by the big, quiet man from Vienna.
On B-boim
Bruno Duplant with Lee Noyes, Anders
Dahl, Christian Munthe, Massimo Magee
- 9 Times 5. Another fine contribution
from an internet-linked group of players
working with a graphic score by Duplant.
On Ilse
Jamie Drouin, Lance Austin Olsen &
Mathieu Ruhlmann - an occupied house
Very strong electroacoustic work from
Canadian trio. On caduc
Luigi Nono - Risonanzi Erranti Not the
greatest of Nono’s late works, but still
pretty bloody good. On Neos
Chris Heenan & Dimitra Lazaridou-
Chatzigoga - Der shlaue Fuchs
Very nice duet for contrabass clarinet &
zither. 3” cdr on Moremars
Alfredo Costa Monteiro & Ruth Barberàn -
Luz Azul. Very fine acoustic duo recorded
at night by a train marshalling yard, with
appropriate accompanying sounds.
On Flexion Records
