Mia Zabelka: Myasmo
by John Eyles
Although her first album was released in 1987, Austrian violinist and vocalist Mia Zabelka has not released many recordings, Myasmo being the twenty-sixth. Despite impressive albums by groupings such as Trio Blurb, those featuring Zabelka solo stand out; so it is a pleasure to report that Myasmo is the latest addition to that select collection. For ...

Tony Oxley: Beaming
by John Eyles
Since 2010, album releases from drummer Tony Oxle (born 1938) have become increasingly scarce and poignant. A Birthday Tribute—75 Years (Incus, 2013) comprised live recordings from 1977 and 1993—featuring trombonist Paul Rutherford and guitarist Derek Bailey, respectively, both long gone—issued to mark Oxley's birthday. Its appearance on Incus was a reminder that ...
Sooon: Youchz Now
by John Eyles
Founded in 2018, the trio Sooon (there are good reasons for it having three O's) comprises Irish-Swiss pianist John Wolf Brennan, Swiss vocalist Sonja Morgenegg and Haifa-born Palestinian percussionist Tony Majdalani. From 2012 onwards, Brennan and Majdalini were in the trio Pilgrims together, alongside guitarist Marco Jencarelli but, prior to Sooon, Morgenegg had no experience with ...
Magnus Granberg: Let Pass My Weary Guiltless Ghost
by John Eyles
Some eight years after his Another Timbre debut, Ist Gefallen In Der Schnee (2012), the good news for followers of Swedish composer-performer Marcus Granberg is that Let Pass My Weary Guiltless Ghost--his ninth release on the label in as many years--is one of his best yet. Further good news is that this album features a ten-member ...
Anouck Genthon & Mathias Forge: Notice
by John Eyles
French musicians violinist Anouck Genthon and trombonist Mathias Forge first collaborated in 2015-16, brought together by a mutual penchant for both free improvisation and walking. Each is an experienced improviser; Genthon is a member of the Insub Meta Orchestra as well as other ensembles such as Ensemble Maât. Notice completed a hat-trick of duo releases for ...
Luiz Henrique Yudo & Apartment House: Chamber Works
by John Eyles
Founded in 1994, Apartment House soon became the leading ensemble playing experimental music in the UK. Chamber Works, featuring the ensemble playing compositions by the Brazilian-born Amsterdam-resident Luiz Henrique Yudo, was released in March 2020 (just as the 2020 global pandemic was gathering momentum). A concert to celebrate Apartment House's twenty-fifth anniversary was scheduled for April ...
Emmanuel Holterbach & Blutwurst: Ricercar nell’ombra
by John Eyles
Following the runaway success of Another Timbre's five-disc Morton Feldman Piano box set, for a time (before the 2020 pandemic) the label was in the happy position of not having to worry about money. Commendably, the label's proprietor Simon Reynell decided to use the money to issue a batch of four albums by lesser-known musicians.
