Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of "Deserted Palace", studio album written & performed by Jean Michel Jarre in 1972, during his work experience at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). In 1971, an order was placed with producer Francis Dreyfus to provide sound for public places such as airports and libraries. He decided to pass the project on to Jean-Michel, who had recently been signed by his record company. These fifteen tracks are made with only two synthesizers (EMS VCS3 & Farfisa organ) in an experimental and very minimal style. "It was a crazy album, totally homemade, with rhythms that I made in my student room, with a minimum of equipment and at the same time electronic sounds that I stole from the GRM where I went at night after stealing the keys to the studios. It is a pirate record, in every sense of the word, in which we find what I did afterwards." JMJ Audio restored & remastered

CD. THE BEST OF TOMMYSONGS is a double album that features some of Tommy Emmanuel's best original songs. Emmanuel solely wrote, produced, and recorded all the tracks on this record. Emmanuel has been playing some of these songs for over 30 years, and they have evolved over time. He wanted to rerecord them to suite the modern arrangements and to make them sound bigger than ever. The album features some of EMMANUEL's most well-known works such as "Angelina," "Lewis & Clark," and "It's Never Too Late" along with fan favorites such as "Mombasa" and "Train to Dusseldorf. " It also has 5 brand new songs including the heart-thumping "Fuel" and the beautifully melodic "Song For A Rainy Morning. " Watch the album trailer here which focuses on TOMMY's unique ability to tell stories without words: https://www. Youtube. com/watch?v=-SOQEMWYAQ4&feature=youtu. #be
Wired Resonances is a collection of seven works for viola d'amore, each developed in collaboration with Marco Fusi. The viola d'amore's resistance to standardisation makes it a fertile ground for artistic reinvention as each composer approaches the instrument anew, unbound by tradition. Inspired by medieval manuscript miscellanea, Wired Resonances resists linearity and traditional ideas of authorship, inviting listeners to approach each piece as a singular artefact within a broader, resonant whole. Annie Hui-Hsin Hsieh's Breathless, transforms Fusi's breath into a vast electronic soundscape, the viola d'amore mimicking the sound of the breath through light bow strokes and gentle caressing of the strings. Zeno Baldi's Spikes explores a variety of music-box-like sounds, created by plucking the sympathetic strings, playing on the tuning pegs, and traversing a wealth of microtonal variations. Two collaborative works, Circular Ruin created with Barbara Nerness and encounter 1.4 with Pierre Alexandre Tremblay explore improvisation and interaction in very different ways. The former draws on field recordings captured by Nerness at the Frog Pond Open Space in California, whilst the second sets the viola d'amore against Tremblay's electric bass and laptop. Giovanni Verrando's Fourth Born Unicorn, rounded version and Mary Bellamy's Shivering Mountain, the two purely acoustic works here, explore the tactile and resonant qualities of the instrument, conjuring percussive textures and a world of airy noise respectively. Bara Gisladottir's ORF (en lika axir og onnur pyntingataeki) takes a radically different approach, juxtaposing the instrument with the sounds of grass cutting, thudding hammers, roaring chainsaws and human screams. Starting with an idyllic country scene the sounds become increasingly traumatic, the viola d'amore eventually enveloped by a reverberant electronic shadow. Much like the manuscripts that inspired it, Wired Resonances is a collective act of preservation, the work of many hands - composers, performers, and collaborators - that together have shaped it.
For his last solo record 'Through a Room', Bill Nace shifted his usual saturated guitar sound and added tapes, hurdy gurdy, doughnut pipe, bird calls and the mysterious Japanese taishogoto. Setting up for the final night of his three day residency at OTO with only the taishogoto soundchecked, Nace hoped that Parker would arrive with his small soprano as it's opposite. "I've been interested in state change, you know, playing until there's a shift in time." Known for his development of multiphonics to produce a constantly shifting pattern, Evan Parker has evolved an instantly recognizable sound - his work the soprano most distinct. Happily, it was the soprano Evan brought with him and as soon as the two start to play they entwine - taking off in a double helix of keys and reed primed for endless reconfiguration. Space warps under the velocity of playing, the pitch rising unrelentingly. It felt like unending lift off in the room, sheer energy until the last note makes remember your feet have been on the floor the whole time. Total time bending shredding.

The majority of the repertoire is the result of a commissioning project from 2023, through which each composer was asked to set an excerpt from the Old Testament's Song of Songs - a source noted for it's radical approach to topics like sex, love, and feminism. Throughout Latvia's rich history of choral music, female composers have stood alongside their male colleagues and made equal contributions to the repertoire. Significant national figures from the late 19th and early 20th century like Jazeps Vitols and Emils Darzins are joined by Lucija Garuta. The works of Peteris Vasks are matched in stature and intensity by the compositions of Maija Einfelde. Today the innovative works of Andris Dzenitis and Martins Vilums share their position in the repertoire with works from Gundega Smite and Ruta Paidere

Arbre is a collective consisting of three focused musicians: Melusine Chappuis sings and plays keyboards, Paul Butscher sings, plays flugelhorn and keys, and Xavier Almeida plays drums. The three are constantly evolving, both individually and as a band, as their album history already documents. Their clear and airy sound is underpinned by clever grooves and compact interplay. Despite it's lightness, the music becomes dense, raw, intricate and touching. The fragility of the tracks and songs is given solid roots, anchored in the depths of the sea: they form a mysterious and precise ecosystem of sound and groove.
