Magnus Granberg: Evening Star, Vesper Bell
by John Eyles
This album is the tenth on Another Timbre (AT) featuring Magnus Granberg's music, making him the composer who has appeared most often on the label, his first release having been Ist gefallen in den Schnee in 2012. Ironically, Evening Star, Vesper Bell also marks the first time Granberg has recorded with Apartment House, who have practically become the AT house band, this being their twenty-eighth appearance on the label. Granberg has also released albums on other labels, most notably three ...

by John Eyles
In the years since her death in 2016, aged 84, the popularity and influence of composer, musician, academic and author Pauline Oliveros have grown steadily in ways of which she would have been proud. Each year has seen new recordings issued, some featuring Oliveros herself, often on accordion, but increasingly recordings of her compositions played by others have overtaken those. Sound Pieces is one of the latter albums. It features six Oliveros compositions played by Apartment House, the earliest, “Horse ...

by John Eyles
Borderland Melodies is welcome for several reasons. Firstly, it is numbered “at200," indicating it is the landmark two-hundredth album issued by Another Timbre since its debut in the autumn 2007. As the label's hundredth album was released in 2016, it seems its rate of releasing albums is increasing (maybe a side effect of Covid?) Secondly, like five of the label's previous six albums, Borderland Melodies was performed by Apartment House, who were first credited on an Another Timbre album in ...

by John Eyles
It seems almost inevitable that the five-star, five-disc box set Morton Feldman Piano (Another Timbre, 2019), by Apartment House pianist Philip Thomas, should overshadow Feldman releases on Another Timbre and other labels, not least because of its six-hour duration and Thomas' exquisite performances. However, as the Another Timbre catalogue reveals, there is far more to Feldman than his compositions for solo piano. Two Pianos and other pieces, 1953-1969(Another Timbre, 2014) featured Thomas and John Tilbury playing pieces for two pianos, ...
Continue ReadingApartment House: John Cage Number Pieces
by John Eyles
Even though it is only based on two of the label's previous releases—Wandelweiser und so weiter (2012) and Morton Feldman Piano (2019)— the reputation of Another Timbre box sets is enviably high. The music they contain, their sound quality, information, artwork and packaging all contribute to the fact that these albums are highly rated and sell like hot cakes. Like its predecessors, John Cage Number Pieces does not cast its net too wide or spread itself too thin. As its ...

by John Eyles
Yes, that is the same Jim O'Rourke who was once a member of Sonic Youth, and was responsible for the awesome Nic Roeg tetralogy of albums on Drag City, among other milestones. One such achievement was that O'Rourke played for the Merce Cunningham Dance Company for four years; as luck would have it, Apartment House founder and cellist Anton Lukoszevieze also performed with the company towards the end of their time, which brought him into contact with O'Rourke's music and, ...
