Jürg Frey: String Trio
by John Eyles
2023 was always going to be a landmark year for the esteemed Swiss clarinetist and composer Jürg Frey. His 70th birthday was in May and, to celebrate it, the renowned Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival allocated three slots to Frey's music on the festival's second Saturday. In addition, String Trio became the third Frei album released in ...
Jürg Frey: Circular Music Ext. no. 1 / no. 2 / Ext. no. 2.
by John Eyles
On May 15th 2023, Swiss clarinetist, composer and Wandelweiser member Jürg Frey reached the age of seventy. From February 14th to 16th 2023, the tracks which comprise this album had been recorded at Rue des Fabriques, Brussels; they are all Frey compositions which were adapted by the eight players performing them.

Jürg Frey: Borderland Melodies
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 ...
Jürg Frey, Reinier van Houdt: Lieues d’Ombres
by John Eyles
Anyone familiar with the Elsewhere label (or Edition Wandelweiser or Another Timbre...) will have frequently encountered Swiss composer and clarinetist Jürg Frey. In addition, those who regularly listen to Elsewhere will have heard much of Dutch pianist Reinier van Houdt. Between them, Frey and van Houdt have now appeared on six of Elsewhere's twenty-three albums to ...
Germaine Sijstermans: Betula
by John Eyles
Given that past albums on the Elsewhere label have already featured such Wandelweiser favourites as Dante Boon, Jürg Frey, Anastassis Philippakopoulos, Michael Pisaro-Liu, Stefan Thut and Guy Vandromme, it was no surprise when the label released Betula, the debut album from Dutch composer and clarinetist Germaine Sijstermans. Her track “M" had already appeared on the album ...
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 ...
New to Another Timbre
by John Eyles
Any music fan casually scanning the credits of Another Timbre's catalogue of releases (which is rapidly nearing the two hundred mark) could not fail to be impressed by such established names as John Cage, Morton Feldman, Antoine Beuger and Jurg Frey. Just as impressive are those who have increased in popularity as a result of their ...
Elsewhere Return Visitors
by John Eyles
As the Elsewhere label's third anniversary, in July 2021, closely followed the June release of its fifteenth and sixteenth albums, it seemed an appropriate time to look back. In a way, those two albums tell a large part of the story as, together, they feature three musicians who are all return visitors to the label, Anastassis ...
