Perspectives on Sylvano Bussotti
The music of Sylvano Bussotti seems to achieve the squaring of the circle: in many ways radical, avant-garde, and innovative, it manifests, at the same time, an idea of beauty, with a strong sensual as well as personal side, not easily reconciled with the avant-garde movements of the 20th century. This volume explores the work of the Italian composer from a multi-perspective and polyvalent approach, addressing cultural questions of identity and authorship, issues of gender and non-normative sexu…
Music For Diego Marcon's Works
Art edition, LP + booklet, English / Italian, 31.5 x 31.5 cm, 36 pages. Starting with the film Monelle (2017), music has been a fundamental part of almost every work by the artist Diego Marcon. Federico Chiari’s compositions emerge from his ongoing dialogue with the artist. The music and the imagery take shape together, riffing off one another as they are interwoven to define both the structure and the emotional temperature of the pieces. The collaboration between Marcon and Chiari revolves arou…
Hold The Sound (Book)
144, printed in offset. Artist Book. Can you hold a sound? This book experiments with giving tangible form to something seemingly immaterial. Within these pages, you will find a collection of thoughts on sound gathered by artists and researchers, each attempting to grasp sound’s fleeting nature through verbal and visual expressions. What are auditories? The plural of “auditory” emphasizes that there is no one way of hearing, and that hearing is not an isolated activity. For the inaugural present…

Music Autopsies - Music Essays And Interviews (1999-2022) (Book)
‘…music can conduct autopsies on received historical narratives and current ideologies of power and exploitation; it can tell things as they were, as they are, and perhaps, as they could be.’ (Benjamin Dwyer)
In this book, the direction of readers’ attention is naturally drawn into music; but more often it is drawn outwards. This is the metaphoric idea of ‘autopsy’: music can not only conduct investigations into extra-musical thoughts of discipline, but also into political and socio-cultural are…
Mieczyslaw Weinberg - In Search of Freedom (Book)
David Fanning’s book is the first full account of Weinberg’s life and works in any language. Drawing on unpublished materials in the family archives and on the personal reminiscences of those close to Weinberg, he tells the story of a composer who devoted his life to music against heavy odds, memorializing those who did not live to share in his problematic freedom.
Mieczysław Weinberg (1919–96) made two narrow escapes from the Nazis: in 1939 from his native Warsaw to Minsk, then in 1941 to Tashk…
Plus
"There is not enough space here to list Christina Kubisch's many awards, exhibitions, installations and professorships. This edition of Edition Dur is clearly a very fortunate one. With Plus, Dur has succeeded in presenting five works by the Berlin-based artist and composer on a vinyl release, also to a wider audience, quasi as a set. The piece Vasenresonanz, which is presented here in its entirety on the reverse side, is a very good example of the actual approach of her artistic work as a path.…

In Her Words
*Includes 4-page wallet with a 8-page booklet.* This album is a breakthrough for celebrated composer Stefania de Kenessey: it is all electronic, and it is all dance music. In recent years, de Kenessey has turned increasingly to electronic music composition as a rich source of experimentation, of new sonorities – and of total control. Or something like that. The result is an eclectic combination of vernacular and classical influences that refers, in equal parts, to the Bulgarian and Hungarian fol…
