Festival Paris Dada
A unique anthology of piano music directly linked to the Dada avant-garde art movement in Paris between 1920 and 1923, Festival Dada Paris is based on the piano repertoire performed at two landmark Dada events in Paris, namely the Festival Dada on 26 May 1920, and the infamous Soirée du Coeur â Barbe on 6 July 1923, an event disrupted by violent confrontation between Tristan Tzara's Dada faction and the Surrealist vanguard lead by Andre Breton.

Cocteau, Satie & Les Six
The celebrated L'Album des Six of 1920 may represent only a small landmark in 20th century modern music. Nevertheless the artful relationship between the young French composers of 'Les Six' and their mentors Erik Satie and Jean Cocteau forms an important cornerstone of the inter-war avant-garde.
As well as the L'Album des Six, this generous 74 minute anthology also includes music composed by Satie and Les Six for spectacles staged by Cocteau between 1917 and 1920, as well as Arthur Honegger…

Noise of Cologne 1
'There is hardly another city where the local musical activities are so thoroughly documented as they are in Cologne. In the home of the Rhein and the Cathedral, they are proud of the 'Sound of Cologne', which usually refers to electronica or minimal techno. Of course 'Noise of Cologne' (NoC) refers to that Cologne sampler. But NoC is not proclaiming the identity of some scene; rather it is highlighting a musical creativity that has so far been drowned out by the club sound. NoC is much more des…

We also saw the rise of a new music genre that was actually translating this industrial, chaotic, i…
