Weird. Nearly missed my bus stop after becoming engrossed in the last Bing & Ruth album on my MP3 player, today.

I’ve been listening through my various favorite albums of the years of the 2010s and I’m reminded that this was my very favorite album of 2014: Rebekka Karijord, Music for Film and Theatre.

Any recent recommendations? I've got the next Bing & Ruth on order but haven't discovered anything new since, well, April 6.

I really like max de wardener's music for detuned pianos played by kit downes, very light

Anything new-ish to recommend? I have £20 to spend at Norman (sorry, Boomkat!)

Even before the Moby album, Deutsche Grammophon seemed to be releasing some unexpected artists (Clark, Balmorhea etc).
I know it's only a small part of what they do but wondering if it can be tracked to anything?
― djh, Monday, 12 April 2021 08:59 (three years ago) link
I'd track it to the start of their ReComposed series back in 2009: https://www.discogs.com/label/660411-Recomposed

Of course. I'd forgotten about them.
I was half wondering if there was one person commissioning these things, some of which seem great and some ... a bit less necessary.

Might be of interest?

Oh, dear God. Johannsson's "The Cause of Labour ..." sounds magnificent, tonight - but lots of other stuff, including some things I've missed (not heard/not bought).
― djh, Tuesday, 10 August 2021 21:07 (two years ago) link
that's a fantastic mix

Heard anything incredible? I'm in the mood to buy something Boomkat Classical.

Shilling for myself here djh, but I've got a record coming out on Sound in Silence soon which may fit the bill -

would Alison Cotton fit in this thread? plays viola, harmonium. droney. ned's a fan. has a dark folk tinge to it, especially when she sings.
― koogs, Friday, 20 May 2022 00:59 (one year ago) link
maybe start here (largely because it is cheap)

@Maresn3st, it worked! I liked the sustained tension - so I'm going to buy it when it comes out :)

used to lurk in this fine thread quite a bit a couple of years ago
recently I thought of it again because I started to work on solo piano music that fits the thread title quite well, although with somewhat of a different twist than most of the other artists discussed here
well I just released my first piece and while technically not on boomkat just yet, I’m definitely planning to sell my album there eventually maybe next year or so :)

Didn't know where else to put these modern percussion ensemble pieces, but album title of the year for sure:https://juliansartorius.bandcamp.com/album/rllrlrllrrlrlrlrllrlrlr?label=1968817536Julian Sartorius - RLLRLRLLRRLRLRLRLLRLRLR
