Cyril Bondi, Pierre-Yves Martel, Christoph Schiller, Angharad Davies: Awirë
by John Eyles
In 2017, Switzerland's Cyril Bondi, German Christoph Schiller and Montreal-based Pierre-Yves Martel came together as the trio Tse (which means “here" in a Swiss mountain dialect) with Bondi playing harmonium and pitch pipes, Schiller spinet, and Martel on viola da gamba. Despite the early musical instruments, extemporization plays its part, as all three players are experienced ...
Four releases on Another Timbre from a "wonderfully fertile grey area"
by John Eyles
Just after he had launched his Another Timbre label, in late 2007, Simon Reynell said, “I've been a fan of contemporary music since my late teens.

Another Timbre completes its Canadian Composers Series
by John Eyles
In the spring of 2017, Another Timbre released the first five recordings of a ten-disc series dedicated to Canadian composers. The discs were accompanied by a booklet that contained interviews with each of the eight composers (eight not ten, because two of the composers have two discs each in the series). It demonstrated that the eight ...
Magnus Granberg: Es schwindelt mir, es brennt mein Eingeweide
by John Eyles
In recent years Magnus Granberg has become so prevalent that it is surprising to note his first CD did not come out until 2008, a limited-edition release with the ensemble Skogen.
