Maija Hynninen–Dawn Breaks
For instruments, electronics, and voice, mysterious and wandering pieces. Play!
James O’ Callaghan–Alone & Unalone
Reminded me a bit of a soundtrack for a suspense film–tense, staccato, bleats of winds and silence–sample!

Dark, somber works for orchestra, inspired by awful events throughout the world.

Fairly abstract works for electronics, fixed media, voice and/or instruments. Instrumentals interesting.
Richard Carr–Places I’ve Walked
Lovely, evocative works for a variety of instruments, inspired by his world-wide treks. Environmental sounds, voices in addition to instruments. Play!
Thad Anderson–Lines & Spaces
Compositions for percussion, strings, live processing using his “duration lines” theory–building layers of sound–ambient, minimialist, nice!
Migration
Fuego Saxophone Quartet performs these lyrical to very abstract works, even eerie, by Maslanka, Albright and Mettens. Play!

Strongly electronic cello pieces–violin works range from acoustic to electronic. Play!

Frederic D’Haene– Music with Silent Aitake’s
Mr. D’Haene describes his musical composition technique as “paradoxophony”–“elements from all kinds of backgrounds that can work together in a mutually reinforcing way.” This CD combines western instruments with the Japanese gagaku orchestra and has lots of droning–very abstract
Phil Salathe–Imaginary Birds
Fun, quirky, storey-telling works for oboe and/or English Horn. Enjoy!
Ferrucio Busoni–The Late Works
Recognized for his rejection of Late Romanticism and exemplary of the early modern, these are piano pieces composed through his life, from elegant to powerful and strident.

Nice combination of saxophone and flute, contemporary pieces, play!
Ed Martin–Journeys
Mostly flowing, abstract works for solo piano. Play!
Many New Trails to Blaze
The University of Alabama at Birminghan Chamber Trio (UAB Trio) consists of clarinet, trumpet and piano, an unusual combination. This CD reflects their commissioned works and are so very interesting! Play!
