The title TRANSIT VOICES and some of the ideas in these works were inspired by Andrew Robinson’s book Lost Languages: The Enigma of the World’s Undeciphered Scripts. Most of humanity’s past was not written down until rather late, and stories before that time were passed on orally. Records found are tokens which can only be pieced together as clues; even if understood today, they would now have different meanings.

The City of Tomorrow releases Blow, a collection of three works for wind quintet, anchored by the premiere of a multi-movement work written for them by Hannah Lash. Guided by their virtuosity and commitment to polished interpretation, the album is an exploration of finely crafted compositions that take advantage of the rich colors of the instrumentation in all of its permutations.

Composer Carl Vollrath and Navona Records presents Old & New Poetry Vol II, a compelling musical-literary experience featuring the works of seminal poet William Blake and contemporary writer John Gracen Brown. An enticing follow-up to his 2021 release of the same title, Vollrath employs piano and clarinet with various vocal ranges in this recording, each an intimate setting reflecting his close relationship with the text itself.

Martin Rane Bauck (b. 1988, Oslo) studied composition at the Norwegian Academy of Music, the Paris Conservatory (CNSMDP), and the Royal Danish Academy of Music in Copenhagen. His works can be placed in both time and space and he has worked with a multitude of collaborative partners.

L’autrice di questo memoir è nata e cresciuta in una Sardegna dove campagna e città, terra e mare sono ancora un continuum e una bambina curiosa può passeggiare in piazza all’ora dello struscio accompagnata dal germano reale Quaquarone, tenere sotto il banco di scuola la tartaruga Andrea o covare sotto l’ascella un uovo di canarino convinta di vederne nascere un pulcino..
