Forthcoming releases of note

[martin]

FMP has a big retrospective box coming out, which contains both issued and unissued material. Apparently the discs will be available separately thereafter:

http://www.fmp-label.de/special-subscri ... index.html

One CD in particular caught my eye:

CD 06 (FMP CD 142): UND?...plus / Malfatti/Wittwer 1977
Radu Malfatti-trombone, etc.; Stephan Wittwer-guitar, etc.
Reissue: LP UND? & Bonus Track
Liner Notes: Felix Klopotek

The box looks very impressive, the overall design comparable to the Taylor box. Lots of nice photos, engaging essays and additional infos in the accompanying book. So if you're still inclined to devote yourself to free jazz/efi nostalgia, get the thing.

I might be disqualified, but rumors says the new Faust album "Something Dirty" is something to look out for, being one of the best to come out in years. A small snippet here:

Well, this just came out, but I'm excited to get it:



Composer(s): Ben Johnston
Album Title: Ben Johnston: String Quartets 1, 5, and 10

This disc, with premiere recordings of Ben Johnston’s first, fifth and tenth string quartets, presents his earliest and latest essays in the genre and one from roughly the middle of his output. The three pieces are highly different from one another in style, technique and expressive intent. Johnston’s String Quartet No. 1, “Nine Variations” (1959) manifests his belief in the progressive nature of serialism and embraces it as a satisfying means of creating musical order. There is no theme per se: each of the work’s brief sections may be thought of as a transformation of an underlying idea that is never directly stated. String Quartet No. 5 (1979) is one of Johnston’s most impressive achievements, music of radical innovation that speaks an expressive and engaging language with a visionary intensity reminiscent of Ives. It is a single-movement variation form based on “Lonesome Valley”, an old Appalachian traditional gospel song of unknown authorship. By the time he embarked on String Quartet No. 10 in 1995 his music had evolved yet again. Johnston’s use of extended just intonation was a way of revivifying tonal relations in music without lapsing into a nostalgic appropriation of idioms from an earlier era, which has always seemed to him a kind of escapism, and aesthetically negligible. Listening to the tenth quartet, especially on first encounter, we may feel as though we have entered a parallel universe in which Haydn has become a microtonalist with a predilection for complex proportional rhythms. The whole history of Western music flashes before our eyes—almost literally so in the last movement—but with all the colors different: seasons, decades and centuries all tumble into one another.

Something that leaves me wondering: A digital and an analog version, and both as CD?

this reminds me of a friend who would describe non-prefried french fries as "analog"
