NEW RELEASE! Göttliche Skizzen - Dingi Ringd Coint



Tobias Delius - tenor saxophone, clarinet
Jakob Obleser - double bass Jakob Obleser
Jonathan Delazer - drums

Microtonal fragments that coalesce into rhythms and melodies. In this process, the divine becomes the idea of the absolute. As a conception of the still unfinished, as well as fragments that form a whole. This duality between the perfect and the processual runs as a counterpoint through the debut album “Dingi Ringd Coint” by Jonathan Delazer’s trio “Göttliche Skizzen.” Like Renaissance sketches as drafts for the Absolute, for a utopia of the imaginable. “Dingi Ringd Coint” becomes the onomatopoeic melody of a three-part sequence of movements on the drums, as a rhythmic trinity. It is a journey through medieval troubadour music, traditional folk dances, and the glissando notations of American composer Gloria Coates, in which the notes and intervals on open, differently tuned strings are connected by a continuous glide. (Maxi Broecking)

NEW RELEASE! Perel by Santiago Lamisovski Trio

The music is rich and beguiling - an original and distinctive soundworld. All compositions are by Santiago Lamisovski. He is a fine, distinctive composer, whose style shows influences from Herbie Nichols and Andrew Hill. If you still buy music including CDs and LPs, as I do, you should get this one. With Perel, Hat Hut Records are continuing their tradition of excellence.

NEW RELEASE! Verona Sextet - Leaps and Bounds


https://now-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/leaps-and-bounds

Sergio Armaroli - vibraphone
Tony Buck - drums
Francesca Gemmo - piano
Magda Mayas - prepared piano
Steve Piccolo - electronics, vocals
Elliott Sharp - guitar, soprano sax

Writers such as Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Marcel Proust, and here, Steve Piccolo, have sought to capture this stream of consciousness in language, tracing the flow of memory and sensation as it passes through the mind. The Verona Sextet achieves the same in sound. Their music does not describe thought; it enacts it. (Mark Corroto)

- RECORDING: October 14/15, 2024 at Sotto il Mare Recording Studio, Verona; Sound Engineer: Raffaele Stefani; Mixed by Elliot Sharp; Produced by Sergio Armaroli;

- PRODUCTION: Mastering by Michael Brändli, Hardstudios AG; Cover photo by Hans-Jörg F. Walter; Liner notes by Mark Corroto; Graphic concept by fuhrer vienna; Associate producer: Christian C. Dalucas; Executive producers: Melanie Imhof, Marco von Orelli

NEW RELEASE! Edu Haubensak - SEQUOIA I – IV (2019–2024) for six concert grand pianos


https://now-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/sequoia-1-4-for-6-pianos

Simone Keller - piano
Rafael Rütti - piano
Asia Ahmetjanova - piano .ahmetjanova
Stefan Kägi - piano
Yoko Sawa - piano
Stefan Wirth - piano

At the same time, Sequoia stands as a homage to Ivan Wyschnegradsky. In 1956, Wyschnegradsky composed Arc-en-ciel for six pianos tuned a twelfth tone apart, with the aim of rendering in sound the innumerable gradations of color within a rainbow. Edu Haubensak, who at the end of the work quotes his 1979 piano piece Schwarz Weiss, thereby revealing the nucleus of Sequoia, thus brings several circles to a close. He not only connects his own past with the present, but also allows a monumental work to resound—one that is firmly rooted in the earth and reaches far into the heights, touching, with the tree tops, Wyschnegradsky’s rainbow. (Rudolf Amstutz)

NEW RELEASE! Live at Bau 4 with by Gerry Hemingway with Izumi Kimura, Frank Gratkowski, Christian Weber


https://now-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/live-at-bau-4-with-izumi-kimura-frank-gratkowski-christian-weber

Izumi Kimura - piano
Frank Gratkowski - clarinet, bass clarinet, alto saxophone, alto flute
Christian Weber - double bass
Gerry Hemingway - drums, voice Gerry Hemingway

In reference to “Holzsplitter” (Wood Splinters), the composition “Slivers,” like the entire album, is a tribute to the founders of the venue, Hildegard and Walter Schär, who opened Bau 4 in their family-run timber company as a venue for creative music concerts. In 2025 after 20 years of music curation, they handed it over to the next generation. For this farewell concert Hemingway developed a site-specific project. As in the quartet piece “Bau 4 Assembly” for which he adopted wood scraps from the company's cutting machine which the ensemble uses here as an additional sound source: rubbing and clattering. Depicted in his score as flying parts in space, fragments of a larger whole, like the sounds formed by the ensemble itself. ( Maxi Broecking )

- RECORDING: by Christian Weber on February 15, 2025 at Bau 4 in Altbüron, Switzerland;

NEW RELEASE! Densities - for 12 trombones & percussion by Matthias Muche BONECRUSHER


https://now-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/densities-for-12-trombones-percussion

Matthias Muche - trombone, composition, artistic leader
Matthias Müller - trombone, composition
Adrian Prost - trombone
Carlotta Armbruster - trombone .ar
Daniel Riegler - trombone
Jeb Bishop - trombone
Maria Trautmann - trombone
Matthias Schuller - trombone
Maximilian Wehner - trombone
Moritz Anthes - trombone
Moritz Wesp - trombone
Till Künkler - trombone
Etienne Nillesen - snare drums

This music pulls me in like a vacuum cleaner: chords crackle, creak and howl, clouds of sound vibrate eerily, and in the midst of it all, the finest nuances reveal themselves. The ensemble BONECRUSHER — founded in 2020 by Cologne-based trombonist and composer Matthias Muche — showcases its latest developments in four compositions. The musicians create their own sound universes, illuminate them with self-developed sounds and devote themselves to the possibilities of the trombone with an obsession for detail. (Sophie Emilie Beha )

RECORDING: at Fattoria Musica, May 2025; Sound Engineer: Stephan von Wylick
PRODUCTION: mixed by Nanni Johansson ; Mastering by Michael Brändli , Hardstudios AG; Liner notes by Sophie Emilie Beha; Graphic concept by fuhrer vienna ; Produced by Matthias Muche; Associate producer: Christian C. Dalucas Dalucas ; Executive producers: Melanie Imhof , Marco von Orelli

NEW RELEASE! John Cage - Two2 (1989) for 2 Pianos


https://now-ezz-thetics.bandcamp.com/album/john-cage-two2-1989-for-2-pianos

Judith Wegmann - piano
Marlies Debacker - piano .debacker
John Cage - composition

Cage often said that he preferred to listen to live performances than to recordings. I suspect he would have been delighted with this performance of Two2, recorded in concert in Kunsthaus Zug in Switzerland on 17th May 2024. Marlies Debacker and Judith Wegmann are regular partners in both improvised and composed music and, as Judith Wegmann says, they play ‘without intention’, allowing their instruments ‘to merge into a single, unified sound body’, freeing themselves ‘to let the sounds simply be and listen to them’.(Christopher Fox)
