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?

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.

There might be better threads for this (Fat Cat ones, I guess) but I'm going to put this here:

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).

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
This video of one of the pieces is fantastic:
