12 Duets (DCWM) 2012
*2025 stock* 'Several years ago, Anthony and I discovered our mutual (giddy) enthusiasm for the music of Richard Wagner. I feel compelled to mention this because there is a positively orchestral, if not Wagnerian, element to our recording together—a sonic Gesamtkunstwerk, if you will, representing all registers of playing. In each take, new drama unfolds, as if each were a new act in an operatic continuum. Yet the most amazing thing about the process of recording with Anthony was the vast spectr…
GTM (Syntax) 2017

The recording is available digitally and in a limited edition 300-copy pressing, a del…
Watering paper flowers and snakes
Open to the Sea was born around the musical experiences of Enrico Coniglio, here playing piano and synths, and of the music wizard Matteo Uggeri who adds his world of samples, noises, field recordings and recorded instruments played by friends. The first CD is a re-edition of the double mini-cd “Watering a Paper Flower” where an echoed piano goes through delicate and enchanted sound tapestries, remembering a river slowly flowing to the sea. The second CD, with the participation of a third musici…
Suspension Blues
Suspension Blues (2020) is a collaborative audio-visual work conceived as an immersive, droning strobosphere. It is a model for an activated environment with an amalgam of pulsating light and color, high-frequency drones, and shimmering glissandi. The aural and visual elements function in direct and intentional relation with one another and by the selfsame perceptual mechanism. A total sensory field saturation instigates retinal and cochlear hyperactivation; long durational attendance is rewarde…
Bonbori
Noriko Baba’s music transforms fleeting details into profound artistic expressions, weaving nostalgia, nature, and her Japanese heritage into evocative soundscapes. From the intimate, lantern-lit glow of Bonbori to the tumultuous echoes of the 2011 tsunami in Shiosai, her works balance delicacy and intensity. 9600 romanticizes the age of steam locomotives, while Au pavillon de (Monsieur) Porcelaine offers a deeply personal meditation on joy and loss through Mahlerian inspiration. With Avant le c…
Tönendes licht
In tönendes licht., Klaus Lang imagines the Gothic cathedral as a resonating body shaped by the architectural principles of hierarchy and proportion. Performed by Wolfgang Kogert and the Wiener Symphoniker conducted by Peter Rundel, the work creates a unique interplay between the physical structure of the cathedral and the ephemeral presence of the music, evoking the medieval understanding of light and sound as pathways to the divine. Inspired by the ideals of Gothic art, Lang explores the conce…
Zone Grise
Didier Rotella’s "Zone Grise" unfolds in a space of perpetual transformation, where sound navigates between density and purity, acoustic and electronic, structure and fluidity. Catharsis combines hybrid instruments and spatialized textures to evoke a dramatic journey of evolution and renewal, while Fragrances draws inspiration from perfume composition, blending musical elements into a rich, multi-layered tapestry. Mogari reflects on ritual and humanity through augmented instruments and poetic ge…
Beyondddddd The Notessssss
Tip! In the depths of Geneva’s Fonderie Kugler red-lit-boudoir, stand four grand pianos surrounded by divinities. The two elder Erard brothers are tuned down a quarter tone lower than their neighbours, a twin pair of gleaming and valiant Yamaha’s. Charlemagne and Seppe both sit facing each other, managing the 428Hz tuning from the tip of their left hand, while the right hand controls the conventional 440Hz machine. This four-piano fantasy was born a few years ago, when these two gentlemen met ar…
Possibility and prejudices from within a cup
The essence of conviviality. You take a punch, soft as a sock at the end of a jog, but that isn’t the real point here. Even poorly brewed fuel can become a cherished experience when shared in good company, highlighting that at its core, the communal experience lies not in the quality of the beverage, but in the connections it fosters. And so, by evidence of this striking piece of truth, even the occasional misstep in the infusion process can't diminish the warmth and camaraderie that fills the m…
In Between
*2025 stock* Thomas Florin's 2nd solo piano album "In between" released by Konnekt in 04.2020. With the desire of having a free an open-minded approche of music, Geneva based piano player Thomas Florin is working with different kind of Jazz and improvised musics.
Following a first solo release focused on a repetitive and resonating sound research, "In Between" captures the result of a process of hybridization, a minimalist and open-ended approach to a jazz oriented material, leaving a lot of roo…
The Zebra Paradox
*2025 stock* Setting the stage for The Zebra Paradox requires building anticipation and intrigue on the inside of the listener before they even hear the first notes. To accomplish this an imagined transference of information must bloom like a deep inhalation of sonic spores. If categories can be applied to explore how concepts are played out in this music and throughout the album, perhaps think of displacement, confusion, time distortion and derangement. Otherwise the listener might choose to tr…
Too Cold
*2025 stock* Something about eating roses Sean… First it’s 2004. Anthony doesn’t even have a piano for that trio gig… Oh no! Nonetheless, something happens in that old damp cellar of Cave12 and some connections are made for ever. In 2006 “The Same Girl” comes over to Australia with Gilles Aubry and myself; we spend a few nights at your place on Hardware Lane. It’s now 2007, it’s around my birthday and we’re emailing about a Buttercup Metal Polish tour. You offer to help out for some contacts and…
Or Not All
*2025 stock* This acoustic piano-drums collaboration can be transformed through electronics into a hybrid spatial continuum creating a frictional, nervous symbiosis filled with jolts but also with abrasive and/or restrained fluidity.
After an initial meeting within the N-Ensemble project initiated as a Carte Blanche from the AMR jazz club in Geneva by Nicolas Field in March 2018, Valerio Tricoli (IT, tape Recorder Revox) , Nicolas Field (drums, UK/CH) and Thomas Florin (piano, CH) wanted to deve…
Real Time One
** Edition of 250 copies, remastered from the original master tapes ** Real Time is an extraordinary example of interaction between musicians coming from different worlds of new music. I had the chance to perform with those two great musicians on other occasions: in duo with Alvin Curran and in duo, trio and sextet with Evan Parker. Alvin came from the American school, full of minimalist references, melodic structures and open to all kinds of contamination. Evan had left jazz to accomplish his o…

Ultimo Tango a Parigi
The soundtrack for “Last Tango in Paris” (1972), composed by Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri, is one of the most iconic works in cinematic history, perfectly capturing the emotions and themes of this controversial masterpiece by Bernardo Bertolucci. The film, brilliantly acted by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, delves into desire, pain, and loneliness through an intensely physical and clandestine relationship between two strangers in Paris. Barbieri's music is a blend of sensuality, melan…
Alzati Spia
The soundtrack for “Alzati spia” Espion, lève-toi, composed by Ennio Morricone, is a masterful example of how music can enhance the atmosphere of a spy thriller. Released in 1982, the film, directed by Yves Boisset and starring Lino Ventura and Michel Piccoli, is a dark and psychologically intense story that delves into the shadowy world of intelligence operations during the Cold War. The movie stands out for its balance between narrative tension and introspection, with a protagonist caught in a…
100.000 Dollari Per Ringo
The soundtrack of “100,000 Dollars for Ringo”, composed by the talented Bruno Nicolai, stands as a cornerstone of the Italian Western music scene. This 1965 film, directed by Alberto De Martino, tells the story of Lee Barton (played by Richard Harrison), a gunslinger returning to his hometown in search of vengeance and redemption. While it adheres to the classic narrative tropes of the Western genre, the film distinguishes itself through its emotional intensity and some creative directorial touc…
La Ciociara
First ever vinyl reissue. Soundtrack to the 1989 television remake of the legendary film directed by Vittorio de Sica.
Tormento
Imagine a nocturnal rendezvous between the lyrical playfulness of Serge Gainsbourg and the infectious yet smooth danceability of Daft Punk. Tormento is a sexy soft disco odyssey that weaves a contemporary fantasy where dilemmas and desires—torments of the heart and flesh—are bathed in the sultry glow of classic erotic cinema.
Recorded in Los Angeles and Paris, the song is a collaborative effort between composer and multi-instrumentalist Louis Fontaine, DJ and music supervisor Alix Brown, and lyr…
