Recent Releases
at193 John Tilbury plays Terry Riley
Archive recordings from 30+ years ago of John Tilbury playing Terry Riley’s two ‘Keyboard Studies’ and ‘Dorian Reeds’. Essential.
at191 Johnny Chang & Keir GoGwilt
‘hope lies fallow’ contains six pieces developed by Johnny and Keir from music by Hildegard van Bingen and Orlando de Lassus. Stunningly beautiful.
Three violin duets, + three tracks for violins and the voice of Celeste Oram.

Three chamber pieces by Austrian composer Klaus Lang, plus two arrangements by Klaus of early music by Johannes Ockeghem and Pierre de la Rue.
Beautifully played by Trio Amos & Klaus Lang
at192 Katelyn Clark & Isaiah Ceccarelli
Eight collaborative tracks for organ and percussion by the Canadian duo, who have worked together for over a decade, and here produce a unique music that could be described as quietly monumental.
at189 ‘The Pankow-Park Sessions’ Ernstalbrecht Stiebler & Tilman Kanitz
In his mid-80’s veteran composer Ernstalbrecht Stiebler started improvising, with fellow-Berliner Tilman Kanitz. The results are totally unexpected. Six duos for piano & cello.
at188 Magnus Granberg
‘How Lonely Sits the City?’
Another superlative, haunting work by Magnus Granberg and his group Skogen. Recorded during the Covid pandemic, its mood of strange, fragile melancholy fittingly reflects that disconcerting year.
