Lucio Capece, Katie Porter: Phase to Phase
by John Eyles
It seems highly likely that the Covid lockdown period will be remembered for the many recordings created because of it, made by musicians collaborating from afar, each confined but able to communicate and swap music using the internet. A range of such recordings has already been released, with a steady trickle still emerging. One such is ...
Noisy Women Return at Cafe Oto, London
by John Eyles
Noisy Women Return Cafe Oto London July 17, 2022 The title given to this Cafe Oto concert--Noisy Women Return--probably prompted the same response from many of those who attended: Return? They've never been away! However, the key to understanding that title probably lay two days before; Friday July 15th had seen ...
Iris Ederer, NO Moore, Eddie Prévost: Traktor
by John Eyles

New Reinier van Houdt on Elsewhere
by John Eyles
When is a double album not a double album? That question is raised by the latest pair of Elsewhere releases from the Rotterdam-based composer and pianist Reinier van Houdt. The two come in separate sleeves, have different, unconnected titles, different cover art and were recorded months apart, although they both feature van Houdt alone. The two ...
Quentin Tolimieri: Monochromes
by John Eyles
Ever since its first release, Blurred Music, in July 2018, the Elsewhere label has never been reluctant to release multi-disc albums when the music has merited them. Of the label's twenty-one albums to date, three have been double albums, and two triple albums--that first release and this one, Monochromes. Another characteristic of Elsewhere releases has been ...
Kjetil Mulelid Trio: Who Do You Love The Most?
by John Eyles
In an act which might have raised a few eyebrows, Rune Grammofon released Who Do You Love the Most? by the Kjetil Mulelid Trio on the very same day as In the Mountains by the Espen Eriksen Trio featuring Andy Sheppard. Surely these two piano trios on the same label must have been competing for the ...
Terry Riley: Keyboard Studies
by John Eyles
For some devotees of Terry Riley and John Tilbury the initial reaction to this album may be one of concern for the well-being of the two protagonists, Riley the composer and Tilbury the keyboardist, friends since the late '60s. After all, the sum of their ages exceeds one-hundred-and-seventy-something, and the music here is full-on throughout the ...

Two new composers on Another Timbre
by John Eyles
As previously noted, Another Timbre's releases cover a broad spectrum, from world-renowned composers and players, through those who are upwardly mobile, to those making their debut on the label.
