we are very excited to present these two new releases!


anthony pateras
| chasms
| cd sirr0030


Chasms is the extraordinary debut solo prepared piano album from
Australian composer/pianist Anthony Pateras. Chasms takes things
further, re-configuring the instrument into a psychoacoustic percussion
orchestra, exploring extended timbral continuums through complex
rhythms and physically intense performance strategies.
Through purely acoustic means, the work attempts to enhance piano
performance via a compositional sympathy with algorhythmic computer
composition and studio technology. This is electro-psycho-acoustic
music created purely with prepared piano.

Anthony Pateras is a composer and performer. Live, he appears
regularly throughout Europe and Australasia on prepared piano in the
Pateras/Baxter/Brown trio, on voice & electronics with Robin Fox,
prepared piano solo or as a conductor of his own notated works.
Pateras has released and produced numerous albums, recording
for Tzadik (New York), Editions Mego (Vienna), Synaesthesia
(Melbourne) and Quecksilber (Berlin).

steve peters
| three rooms
| cd sirr0029

Alvin Curran once described the music of Steve Peters as "pure,  
restrained,
and rigorously beautiful."

These three delicate pieces - or rooms, as the title states - are the  
result of very
personal investigation regarding the interaction between physical  
spaces and
  the experience of listening. The selected compositions aim to  
create room(s)
for the listener, intensifying quietly and subtly our awareness.
These pieces explore tactile interaction with the interior surfaces  
and materials
of architecture;  approach breathing rhythms to acheve  miniature  
compositions
that evoke the contemplative space of a Japanese rock garden; or  
reveal the
complex dance of overtones in the air and ever-deepening pure waves from
a single bell strike.

Steve Peters makes music/sound for various contexts and occasions, using
recorded sounds of the world and found/natural objects, or through  
exploration
of acoustic phenomena, as well as normal instruments and spoken text.
In recent years his work has focused primarily on site-specific sound  
environments
that explore ideas about place/presence and encourage subtle  
listening for
extended durations.

news from: Cronica and Grain of Sound:

# The Beautiful Schizophonics
| Musicamorosa
Cronica, 029, CD

Marcel Proust has been one of the main sources of inspiration.
The image of a sleepless solitary writer confined to a Parisian  
soundproof room,
has everything to do with the experience of a modern laptop composer,  
alone in
the dark of a room, in a sort of headphone ecstasy with his acoustic  
fragments
of reality. ("La letrice" is Colleen  reading Proust in Paris.)

# Ran Slavin
| The Wayward Regional Transmissions"
Cronica, 028, CD

# David Maranha
|  Marches of the New World
Grain of Sound, gos21, CD
