Another killer from Max Franosch.
숨 [suːm] are another incredible band from South Korea. I can’t seem to find much information on the duo (except that they are Jiha Park and Yanggeum), but they perform on what look to be traditional instruments, and the sound is both hypnotic and powerful.
If, for some reason, you can’t bother with listening to any of the thousands of other incredible classical composers and their works, you can drown yourself in the same old standards by Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig van Beethoven. Thank Open Culture for this one.
Pierre Henry was the composer who introduced me to the world of musique concrète. The fact that he and his contemporary and partner, Pierre Schaeffer, were able to do some of their early works without the use of magnetic tape, still astounds me.
Franco-American experimental composer Christian Wolff was among the elite of the American avant-garde which included John Cage, Morton Feldman and David Tudor. He’s become somewhat forgotten today, but this composition shows him near the quiet peak of his powers.

After years of having to let this project lie dormant, I’m proud to announce the resurrection of my record label, the Carrera-Linn Cultural Exchange (CLCX). Our first release is from the Russian-based Armenian-American violinist Gregory Ayriyan, who composed all but three of the tracks on this disc. The other composers include Sayat Nova, Komitas, and Niccolò Paganini, so he interprets the cream of the crop.

Vassilis Tsabropoulos and Anja Lechner represent the cream of the crop for ECM Records. U.T. Gandhi is a new name for me, and his percussion adds a fullness to this recording.
Mihály Vig, former guitarist of the indie bands Trabant and Balaton, has moved on to doing a kind of cinematic minimalism. Very relaxed, in the vein of Philip Glass.
Ryuichi Sakamoto has spent a career morphing from one genre to another, and essentially leading the pack.
