Un Ent Los
Un Ent Los is a composition of a total of 36 electroacoustic miniatures, for which Johannes S. Sistermanns has drawn from his wide-ranging audio archive.
The material of his composed, fleeting sound moments are sounds of the numerous musical instruments he plays and their electroacoustic transformation. In addition, field recordings from the Australian outback and the soundscapes of metropolises such as Shanghai, Hong Kong or New York can be heard, as well as the diverse resonance sounds that Si…
Piano Studies
*75 copies limited edition* Piano Studies is a set of pieces recorded on a salvaged piano body at Elektronmusikstudion (EMS) in Stockholm. Using free-floating metal preparations and various mallets, these works use this alternative hammer escapement mechanism to coax a particular inharmonic resonance from its skeleton frame.
Castle Terraces In Barry Lyndon
Castle Terraces in Barry Lyndon is a spacious and quietly enigmatic work by composer and writer Zeynep Toraman. Created for instrumental ensemble, electronics and film, and written for Ensemble Contrechamps, the piece brings together clarinet, cello, violin, electric guitar and electronic textures with a subtly unfolding visual layer. What emerges is a world where sound and image lean gently toward one another, opening a listening space that feels both architectural and intimate.
The title recal…

Black Angels

Rex
*350 copies limited edition* Rex is a solo cello record written and recorded while I’ve been living in the former home of Rex Brasher, a self-taught painter who created over 1,200 watercolors of North American birds. Composed for acoustic and electric cello, the record reflects the solitude and intensity that shaped both Brasher’s vision and my own process. Rex is not a portrait, but an echo—of a person, a place, and a way of seeing the world. Thank you to Matthew, Munawar, Cynthia & the RBA for…
Orchestral Works
2026 stock Bára Gísladóttir (b. 1989) considers sounds, instruments and ensembles as living organisms. In VAPE, Hringla and COR, the Icelandic composer and double bassist engages with the largest musical organism of all: the symphony orchestra. Through these works, we follow Gísladóttir’s fascination with language and coincidence, for example. Here is an uncompromising interrogation of the body, in its excesses and ailments. And here, most of all, is life, vaporous and between states, neith…

Pax

Reich/Richter
On Reich/Richter, Steve Reich joins Ensemble Intercontemporain and conductor George Jackson for a single 37‑minute arc of pulsed colour, a chamber‑orchestral score conceived in dialogue with Gerhard Richter’s moving stripes, where pattern, blur, and return become musical form.
Runner - Music For Ensemble And Orchestra
On Runner / Music for Ensemble and Orchestra, Steve Reich joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and Susanna Mälkki for two late-period works that stretch his pulsed minimalism onto a large orchestral canvas, maintaining propulsive clarity while opening into shimmering, almost symphonic depth.
