Percussion on mode
Huang (re)introduces a particular genre of percussion music, works written for Trio Le Cercle. These films use close-ups, overlays and subtitles, so that the DVD experience is far richer than a live one.

Atopos Survey 3.
We come to a third and final installment in a survey of Atopos recordings. It’s not that I’ve saved the best for last, but rarities, yes. Any recordings of Vinko Globokar and Jean-Pierre Drouet, whether together or separate, are a reason to celebrate.

Atopos Survey 2. / EA Bucket 19. / Italian Vacation 12.
Curran’s Endangered Species is likely to be one of the best CDs I will have heard all year, and it’s on a favorite new label.

Atopos Survey 1. / Italian Vacation 11. / Piano Factory 12.
Although Atopos has been around for over a decade, I’ve only just discovered them. The emphasis is of course Italian, the sensibility suggesting various late-20th century Italians taking cues from European (Darmstadt) and American (Cage, Feldman, et al.) trends.

A Rare Gem from mode: The JACK Quartet Performs Helmut Lachenmann’s String Quartets
Helmut Lachenmann’s string quartets evolve, and always within the composer’s unique and uniquely challenging idiom, from disjunct near-stasis to something like a glimpse of the past.

Italian Vacation 10: Recent Sciarrino on Kairos
Taking advantage of the quartet’s ability to execute microtones and glissandos, longer pitches quiver and slide like entreating vowels. These pleading lines are often prefixed or suffixed for pungency with a jumping interval.

Two Italians on Mode
