A rather chilling interpretation by Leszek Możdżer of the Krzysztof Komeda classic performed for Roman Polański’s film, Rosemary’s Baby.

[Music] Elvis Ajdinović i Orkestar Meke Ajdinovića – Elvisov cocek
The town of Guca, Serbia is home to one of the greatest gypsy brass festivals in the world. Here’s a sample from one of the new names exploding onto the gypsy brass scene, Elvis Ajdinović.
[Music] Alexei Aigui – Octo
Ensemble 4’33” leader and violinist Alexei Aigui collaborates with the Ad Libitum Orchestra on a new piece, performed at the Moscow Conservatory earlier this year.
[Music] Hans Otte – Das Buch der Klange (The Book of Sounds) / III – IV – V
Beautiful minimalism courtesy of Hans Otte, a new name for me from the ECM Records label.
[Music] Daniel Denis – Coeur De Boeuf
Daniel Denis of Univers Zero and Art Zoyd has quite an impressive resume as a solo artist. Here is a composition of his which translates into “Beef Heart” (one can guess who he is offering tribute to).
[Music] Zbigniew Preisner – Reqeuiem For My Friend
Zbigniew Preisner is one of Europe’s leading film composers. Hollywood would do well to bring him over for more work.
[Music] The Gurdjieff Folk Instruments Ensemble – Chant for a Holy Book
No need to comment on this group. Just let the music envelop you.
[Music] Rational Diet – Pukhow
It’s a crying shame that Belarusian Rock-In-Opposition-influenced band Rational Diet is no more. For my taste, they had carried the torch first illumined by bands such as Art Zoyd, Univers Zero and Henry Cow.
[Music] Miguel Alzerreka Cuarteto – Lord Suave
Miguel Alzerreka is a vibraphonist from Mexico. I came across him thanks to a newsletter from Museo Tamayo, one of Mexico’s best centers for art, music and culture.
Miguel also has a Soundcloud page worth exploring.
[Music] Bosques De Mi Mente – Jardin De Estatuas
Something tranquil, bordering on New Age and ethereal music, from Spain’s Bosques De Mi Mente.
