Sales to EU countries
Changes to customs regulations within the EU are being enforced with varying degrees of severity. Unfortunately this means that some CD orders from the UK to the EU are incurring extra charges. The majority of our packets are getting through ok without extra customs costs, but this isn’t guaranteed.
If you live in the European Union and are worried about possible customs charges, you can avoid them by ordering our CDs from our European distributor Soundohm, who stock our discs.
You can order almost all our CDs from Soundohm’s website here

at238 Ferdinand Schwarz
‘Listening Time’
Released a touch early, this compelling work for AREPO ensemble has already featured in Bandcamp’s Best Contemporary Classical Releases in March:

at236 Kory Reeder ‘Homestead’
A gorgeous 55-minute string quartet which reflects on the landscape and troubled history of Kory’s native state Nebraska. Wonderfully played by Apartment House.
“The harmonic material doesn’t move very quickly, but there’s a ton of activity...Like a quilt or a fabric, you can hear these interlocking patterns...”
at239 Timothy McCormack ‘mine but for its sublimation’
Another extended solo work, this time for piano, beautifully played by Jack Yarbrough.
“I had intended this piece to be a small side-project, but as I worked on it, and as I started to grasp exactly what was happening to my music through thispiece, it slowly became the sole focus of an entire year of composition.”
at240 John Cage
‘Chamber Works 1943-1951’
Seven early pieces by John Cage, including exquisite performances of ‘String Quartet in Four Parts’, ‘Six Melodies, ‘Dream’, ‘Amores’ and ‘Music for Marcel Duchamp’. Great playing from Apartment House once again.
at237 Evan Johnson ‘dust book’
A mesmerising solo work in six movements for viola d’amore, composed with and for Marco Fusi, who writes:
“When vibrations move the air, dust flows away from the surfaces and then, slowly, comes to rest again. And the listener remains enchanted by the marginal, minimal particles of dust flickering through light.”

at198 John Cage
‘Hymnkus Thoreau Drawings Two’
Three late-ish but extraordinarily different works - all played by Apartment House. Including Cage’s first number piece, and probably his first use of field recordings in the remarkable ‘Thoreau Drawings’.
“The music is like a meta-forest of animal sounds, perhaps sounding not just ‘like’ nature, but more of nature.”
at199 Evan Johnson ‘L’art de toucher’
Five typically quiet and minimal yet somehow simultaneously dense and rich chamber works.
“Fragments scattered into swathes of silence- like those galleries with tiny, intricately detailed art hung on large expanses of white wall.” (Roger Heaton, Tempo)
