Apartment House: Morton Feldman Violin and String Quartet
by Marat Ingeldeev
In the late 1970s, American composer Morton Feldman began writing exceptionally lengthy compositions. Not only did these works push the boundaries of traditional concert duration, but more importantly, they explored how the composer could tackle the subject of sheer scale itself. Speaking about this challenge, Feldman said: “Up to one hour you think about form, but ...
Laurence Crane: Natural World
by John Eyles
Compared to the number of albums which many jazz or improvising musicians release, it can often be an eye-opener to glance at the discography of musicians from other genres. For example, although composer Laurence Crane was born in Oxford in 1961, is Professor of Composition at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, and his music ...
Adrián Demoč: Neha
by John Eyles
The last Adrián Demoč album release was Hlaholika (Another Timbre, 2021), featuring the title composition, which was one of Another Timbre's four “quarantine commissions" from different composers, commissioned at the beginning of the Covid 19 lockdown. Recorded in August 2020, that piece was played by five members of Apartment House, presumably because larger ensembles were not ...
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 ...
Pauline Oliveros: Sound Pieces
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 ...

Frank Denyer: Melodies
by John Eyles
London-born composer Frank Denyer has a long and varied career dating back to the 1960s. This two-disc album, released in plenty of time for his eightieth birthday on April 4th 2023, is the most recent of a dozen albums which have been released featuring his compositions, the first having beenWheat (Orchid, 1984) released on vinyl. Five ...
Laurence Crane: Natural World
by Marat Ingeldeev
Natural World is Laurence Crane's welcome and long-overdue addition to Another Timbre's catalogue of curiously beautiful music. Not only does this album sound fresh, but it also retains that essence of what makes the composer's music sound like it does: always on the edge of elegantly tripping up, but still managing to maintain its balance. This ...
Eden Lonsdale: Clear and Hazy Moons
by Marat Ingeldeev
It is always great to see well-established record labels boldly promoting new names for listeners to enjoy, as was the case when the UK-based Another Timbre released Marco Baldini's debut CD Vesperi in February 2023 (reviewed previously). Luckily for us, that was not the only new name to many on that batch of releases: Eden Lonsdale's ...
Marco Baldini: Vesperi
by Marat Ingeldeev
Marco Baldini is the Florence-based composer whose name you might have not come across yet. He will certainly become more well-known thanks to Another Timbre's February 2023 batch of releases, which includes the composer's debut album Vesperi. It consists of eight works, most of which are under a 10-minute mark except a few longer pieces. It ...
