Reaching The Lines
"Side A : percussive like an ongoing emergency. Side B : electrifying, from after the recomposition. A heavy atmosphere, a combative start. A fiery physicality emerges from each piece. Ripit progresses through a cluttered sky. Rough, thick raw material, a ceiling with pale lights passes at breakneck speed. A space roaring with sirens screaming. We are making good progress in the meanders of a troubled psyche, in the spiral of a bubbling world. Finally, the rhythms are reassuring; the noises and …

A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground
Tip! "With « A Bright Sun Shining Down Through All The Opaque & Toxic Layers Of The Underground », Tzii attempts a breakthrough in opacity. Close to emotional ambient, sometimes with slight touches of medieval trad («muxu» means kisses in Basque) and close to raw and mineral materials, Tzii rubs on airy atmospheres, in warm colors, looking for an altered state, almost gaseous. Muffled harmonies, melodious drone, reverb melodies, modulated distorted voices from elsewhere sounding like liberating …
Mermaids Are Real
Mermaids Are Real is the collaborative project between Niki Dimitriadi & Selfish Limbs, based in Thessaloniki, GR.

Somber fairy tales meet the dark ambient textures and together create a world where magic and reality can’t be dis…

Études Pour Piano (- Premier Livre -) / Vingt Regards Sur L'Enfant-Jésus (Sélection)
2025 stock In 1985 György Ligeti created six piano studies.

The extremely high level of difficulty of these studies demands the pianist's utmost virtuosity. With Volker Banfield, Ligeti found the right pianist for his studies. The fourth study, 'Fanfares', is dedicated to Banfield. Olivier Messiaen's 'Vingt regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus', too, makes hug…
Soldanella - Works For Violoncello Solo
2025 stock When Pablo Casals rediscovered the cello suites of Bach at the beginning of the 20th century and firmly established them in the concert and record repertoire, the novel thing about it was that he played them "senza basso", i.e. without piano accompaniment - something that seemed quite unimaginable in the 19th century. In a time of music-historical over-maturity and experimentation, renowned composers soon came up with their own attempts, among them most famously Max Reger's "Solo Suit…
