Flute
'Flute' is an album of six pieces written by Slovak composer Adrián Demoč and performed by Italian flutist and multi-instrumentalist Manuel Zurria. Of the six pieces, "Zamat" is performed in two different versions. This is Demoč's second release on elsewhere music, following the 2024 release 'Piano', as well as Zurria's second appearance as the flutist, following the 2024 release Giuliano d’Angiolini - ')))((('. Demoč's compositions are often intended for open instrumentation or a "monochromatic…
Zamat
Adrián Demoč writes "gentle and soft, non-violent music." The Slovak composer, based in Spain, reduces chamber music down to near-monody—single melodic lines articulated through subtle timbral shifts and microtonal deviations. Zamat, his fourth Another Timbre release, presents three chamber works where Apartment House navigates music that moves "back and forth on the spot between a handful of notes."

'A Luca Marenzio ll' was originally written as 'A Luca Maren…

Neha
Neha is an album by Adrián Demoč featuring the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra and Ostrava New Orchestra. Each work extends beyond twenty-five minutes, exploring soft layers of orchestral sound, calmly repeating motifs, and silences that articulate the music’s emotional contour. The pieces are defined by their meditative atmosphere and gradual, unforced transformations.
Hlaholika
Four chamber works by the Slovak composer Adrián Demoč, whose previous  CD ‘Ziadba’ was extremely well-received.  Apartment House again on three of the tracks, with one piece played by a Czech ensemble. The title track is the third of Another Timbre’s quarantine commissions.  Stunningly beautiful music.Interview with Adrián Demoč by Lukáš Borzik: Let’s start at the end of the disc, with the final track – the duo for violin and double bass, because I know you’re particularly fond of it.
