Gareth Davis returns to Moving Furniture Records with a new collaboration. This time together with Monika Buganjy they perform his composition Becoming. This work is grounded in early minimalist aesthetics of composers like La Monte Young and Phill Niblock, but also shares the sensibilities of contemporary artists like Duane Pitre, Sarah Davachi, Brian Eno and Ellen Arkbro.

The second disc on Challenge Classics by duo Scholtes-Janssens presents one of the milestones of the European minimalism: Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt.

An anthology of the intensely arresting work of Robert Fesler (1936-2023), revealing many of his compositions (1975 -1987) created with his self-built synthesizers, with as pinnacle the μP RPF78. Except one, all tracks are previously unreleased.

A new and strikingly effective arrangement of a modern minimalist classic.

New York-based composer and producer Kelly Moran’s intricate, experimental pieces transcend the piano’s more traditional and classically-imposed school of thought. On her forthcoming new album for Warp, Moran augments her pianistic abilities to superhuman levels in order to create a new strain of her singular experimental piano compositions. Hypnotic and emotive, the coming project solidifies Moran’s role as one of the leading contemporary composers for the piano, constantly pushing the instrument’s creative and sonic boundaries in the realms of classical and electronic music.

Ka Baird’s Bearings: Soundtracks for the Bardos intertwines elements of the New York based vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and composer’s ecstatic live performances within minimalistic, visceral compositions that expand in scope and sound through collaboration. The album’s eleven movements manifest as shapeshifting invocations defined by their own multiplicity; the emotional outcome of circumstance and grief, played against rigorous conceptualism and musical craft. Featuring a cast of contributors from all corners of the contemporary avant garde community and mixing depth and dimension from Randall Dunn, Bearings is a work of profound abstraction and focus, within which sonorous elements, structure, and meaning reach a single, unified form.

h i l d e is curious, melancholic and brave. She embraces, disperses and puts together free improvisation with composed elements. She is wild and eccentric, with a courage to create beauty. h I l d e is Julia Brussels (violin), Marie Daniels (voice), Maria Trautmann (trombone) and Emily Wittbrodt (cello). All four are part of the The Dorf & Umland collective.
