The record Interplay: Duet for One and for the Other brings together two albums for piano and Disklavier — Diagram and Projection and Spring Scenes — which engaged me as pianist, com­poser, and producer throughout 2024 and 2025, and which were conceived as an artistic inquiry into the shifting boundaries between human agency and machine autonomy in the contemporary world. This project was carried out as part of the Second­Level Master’s in Piano “Play&Rec”, directed by Maestro Roberto Prosseda, with the support of Bösendorfer Klavierfabrik GmbH.

Salvador ‘Tutti’ Camarata was something of a 20th century musical Renaissance Man. During his long life, he was a trumpeter, composer, arranger, producer, and technologically pioneering recording studio owner across many genres of music. His achievements included involvement with some of the most successful bands of the Big Band era, seminal work for Disney in the 1950s and 1960s, arranging for legendary jazz vocalists, involvement at the highest levels of classical music in the US and the UK, and owning recording studios that worked with many of the biggest names in the rock era.

The works of violinist and composer Nicolaus Richter de Vroe (*1955) have been and are regularly performed by the most renowned organisers and festivals of new music.

Haydn's Piano Trios were intended for domestic use but the composer was typically inventive in subverting expected norms, bringing striking changes of mood, the use of unusual keys, and rich ornamentation to the supposedly placid world of the trio.

Shotgun Karaoke Vol. Il sees the Something For Kate frontman return to the stripped-back, spontaneous approach that made the original 2013 LP such a compelling listen - raw, intimate, and refreshingly imperfect in all the right ways.

he songs on Touch, the first new Tortoise music in nine years, are dramas without words. They’re elaborately appointed and carefully mixed to enhance a familiar feeling — a distinctly cinematic uneasiness. Close your eyes and you might see cars swerving around unlit rural roads, or cityscapes at night with bells clanging in the distance, or some abandoned warehouse where spies chase each other between towering stacks of boxes. The making of Touch is an entirely different kind of film — a heartwarming story of musicians adapting to life circumstances. Tortoise operates as a collective; the five multi-instrumentalists make records by committee, seeking input on creative decisions large and small. All ideas are considered, and for most of the band’s influential three-decade run, the process has been straightforward: Each musician brings in songs or sketches, and as the group absorbs them, the players exchange ideas about the structure, instrumentation, different grooves or (more frequently, because they’re Tortoise) odd metric divisions that might stretch the initial conception of the song.

“Krok” means “step” in Belarusian - and for Alex Chumak and his band this word comes with a lot of meaning. It’s the title and theme that run throughout СОЮЗ (SOYUZ)'s fourth album, reflecting the journeys the band has navigated in recent years, having moved to Warsaw due to political unrest in their homeland of Belarus and the outbreak of war in Ukraine. Embracing the uncertainty became both the inspiration and main lyrical theme for Alex Chumak, SOYUZ’ composer and arranger, who also decided to go a step further and change the language in which he writes songs from Russian, which is used as lingua franca in many post-Soviet countries, to his native Belarusian. The result is nine songs about dreams and outer space, ordinary miracles, things very close and very distant at the same time.

The subtle arc of suspense on the new Them concept album, ‘Psychedelic Enigma’, brings to mind legendary horror movie classics: The power metal recording kicks off with extremely tough, brutal and fast-paced numbers, spinning an enigmatic storyline around its mysterious protagonist and only revealing his secret – similar to the blockbusters ‘The Others’ (featuring Nicole Kidman) or ‘The Sixth Sense’ (featuring Bruce Willis) – at the very end, in an epic-progressive grand finale.

Horse Jumper of Love thrive on patient and pummeling songs. Since 2013, the Boston trio of singer-guitarist Dimitri Giannopoulos, bassist John Margaris, and drummer James Doran have slowly stretched the fringes of indie rock across five full-length LPs. Their music unwinds with gutting emotional intensity thanks to Giannopoulos’ impressionistic lyrics and how the arrangements violently lurch from delicate to bludgeoning. Disaster Trick - the band’s latest album released initially last year - is their most direct and uncompromising LP yet. Its 11 songs tackle self-destructiveness and healing with jolting lucidity. Now, Disaster Trick's Deluxe Edition CD expands on the world of the album with an array of additional songs, b-sides and updated versions of songs from the initial release.
