Another Timbre
Recommendations from other labels
Below are some discs released on other labels
that you might enjoy if you like the music on
Another Timbre. The list is by no means
exhaustive; there are plenty of excellent discs
that I just haven’t heard yet. But these are some
discs that I have particularly liked.
Stephen Cornford & Samuel Rodgers - Boring
Embroidery. Really well-constructed improvisations
for piano & electronics. Highly recommended.
On Cathnor
Klaus Filip, Toshimaru Nakamura, Andrea
Neumann & Ivan Palacky - Messier Objects
Wonderful quartet of electro-acoustic music.
On Ftarri
Stefan Thut - Two Strings and Boxes
Beautiful minimal work for zithers and objects,
played by the composer and Johnny Chang.
On Flexion
Eva-Maria Houben has started her own label,
called Diafani, and has released several CDRs in
the last few months. Several of them are very
good, but both I’d pick out both Landscapes and
Atmen 1 & 2 as exceptional.
Ensemble Dedalus perform two beautiful pieces
by Antoine Beuger and one equally beautiful work
by Jurg Frey on Potlatch
‘v-p v-f is v-n’ - an excellent 2-CD compilation
of field recording pieces, including works by Ben
Owen, Daniel Blinkhorn, Jez riley French, Jason
Kahn and others. On the fine Winds Measure label
Sarah Hughes - Accidents of Matter or of Space
Beautiful, challenging music, composed and
improvised, by label favourite Sarah Hughes.
On Suppedaneum
Jakob Ullmann - Solo III
The fourth and final disc in the Fremde Zeit
Addendum box set, a typically hushed and
engrossing piece for organ by the Berlin-based
composer. On Edition RZ
Luigi Nono - A Pierre, …sofferte onde serene…,
Omaggio a Gyorgy Kurtag & Con Luigi Dallapiccola
Four great works by Nono, mainly from his late
period. On Neos
Toshio Hosokawa - String Quartets
5 pieces by leading Japanese composer Hosokawa.
What you’d expect, but compelling, and great
playing by the Quartet Diotima. Also on Neos
Andrew Sparling - A Place in the Sky
Works by various contemporary composers,
superbly realised by clarinettist Sparling.
On Lorelt
Youtube channel
The label has a Youtube channel with extracts of
about seven minutes from over 50 Another
Timbre discs. Extracts from every disc on the

New CD Releases March 2013
The Wandelweiser und so weiter box set has now sold out. It is unlikely that the box will be re-pressed, but let us know by email if you definitely want a physical copy and we’ll see if enough people are interested to make it viable.

We may issue pay-for downloads of the 6 discs at a later date.
There is an excellent review of the box by Michael Rosenstein in the on-line journal Point of Departure, which you can read here
