over the past few years orchestral instrumental music from outside the classical establishment has become huge, and neil leiter and margaret hermant of the belgian echo collective have witnessed the evolution and extraordinary rise of this movement right up close. they ve worked with some of the most important players, including stars of the lid, dustin o’halloran and adam wiltze’s a winged victory for the sullen and o’halloran’s solo projects, as well as jóhann jóhannsson. and though the echo collective members themselves very much do come from within the classical music establishment, they don t care which side of the fence they are seen to be on.

siince the release of his debut album, substantial, in 2004, volker bertelmann – aka hauschka – has, slowly but surely, earned a remarkable reputation as a purveyor of imaginative, distinctive, prepared piano music. this isn’t, to be fair, a heavily populated field, but it’s one he’s made his own, and while some might have dismissed his work early on as a novelty, bertelmann has proven himself to be uncommonly inventive, coaxing ever more unprecedented, euphonic sounds and rhythms out of his instrument. even so, on what if – which finds him adding player pianos (also known as pianolas) to his armoury – bertelmann expands his range even further, defying expectations and delivering what is without doubt his most ingenious album yet.

vor exakt 15 jahren wurde yann tiersen für seinen soundtrack zum spielfilm -die wunderbare welt der amelie- gefeiert. yann tiersen machte deutlich, wie man mit reduzierten musikalischen mitteln eine maximale emotionale wirkung entfaltet. und auch wenn die letzten drei alben -infinity- (2014), -skyline- (2011) und -dust lane- (2010) eine erweiterte musiksprache nutzen, die eine band mit einschloss, so ist yann tiersens tiefe und sein musikalischer mut auch in diesem zusammenhang zu spüren. -eusa- kehrt nun zum zeitgenössischen minimalismus zurück. ursprünglich wurde -eusa- als notenbuch für klavier veröffentlicht. als yann tiersen die stücke auf einer tournee vorstellte, bekam er lust diese für ein album aufzunehmen. neben der klavier-einspielung, die in den londoner abbey road studios entstand, unternahm tiersen auf ouessant field recordings. sie geben eindrücke von den verschiedenen plätzen auf der insel wieder, fangen das meeresrauschen, den wind, tierlaute und andere klänge ein.

for their new release, >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields<, these two have somehow gone back in time to capture the sound of glacial moving, dark cough syrup pop music. mr. wiltzie has manipulated his trademark stars of the lid sound of haunting ambience, deconstructing, and funneling it through the beautiful voice, and song compositions of chantal acda. together, sleepingdog have gently abducted these gaseous tones, and choruses of pacific tree frogs into some beautifully crafted melancholic orchestration that reminds us all that we exist in a world of strangers, drifting only two feet apart. >with our heads in the clouds and our hearts in the fields< is sleepingdogs third album after >naked in a clean bed< (zeal - 2006) and the critically acclaimed >polar life< (gizeh/zeal - 2008).
comes on clear / translucent vinyl, including code for free digital download.

das quartett hejira besteht aus etablierten musikern wie sam beste, rahel debebe-dessalegne, alexis nunez & alex reeve und gehört neben acts wie kwes., micachu, the invicible oder gwilym gold zur avant-pop-szene londons. das von matthew herbert produzierte album *prayer before birth* ist eine symphonische orchestrierung mit elementen aus electronica, folk, klassik und avantgarde, mit ausdrücklicher empfehlung des mercury prize-komittes.

auf der anderen seite hat er für factory records (new order, joy division) das sublabel factory classical betreut. er ist als musiker auch mitglied bei durutti column und dem duke quartet (interpretationen von steve reich etc.). mit dem solo-album *the appearance of colour* schlägt das pendel in richtung elektronisch-gefärbter pop musik aus, wobei er seine fähigkeiten als komponist und arrangeur nicht vernachlässigt. so überzeugen die neun titel durch die spannenden kontraste - zwischen electronica, pop, ambient und drum & bass changieren die stücke und bilden doch ein unnachahmliche einheit. die vinyl lp erscheint inklusive downloadcode.

it has been four long years since glissando released the critically acclaimed >with our arms wide open we march towards the burning sea< and the duo finally return this november with a new record >the world without us<. the new material bares glissandos trademark of ethereal voices and tip-toing piano melodies but the overall sound is richer and more expansive. epic swells of strings and guitars sore above the drones and field recordings to create an intense yet fragile noise. this lp is a highly limited deluxe package of just 300 copies, including code for free mp3 download of the full album.
