There is no end to composer Peter Broderick’s creative output, and so we present to you his new album titled All Together Again — available worldwide on November 17th 2017 via Erased Tapes. They say music takes you on a journey, and this collection of commissioned work by Peter quite literally does that. From a ferry boat ride in Istanbul, to walking down the aisle at a wedding, these songs were created for particular situations, yet Peter found a way to work without any sort of limitations and on his own terms. The result is an assortment of works from the past ten years, coming together as one: Peter’s new album. Words from Peter, October 2017: Ever since I started releasing records in 2007 (10 years ago now!), people have contacted me periodically to ask if I’d be interested in making music to accompany their projects. Most of these projects have been things like films, dance pieces and theatre plays . . . but every so often I get the odd request for something a little different. Peter, would you write a song for my wedding? My one year anniversary? A ferry boat ride? In early 2015 I was asked to perform 12 minutes of music during a runway show as part of New York Fashion Week. I agreed and began composing a 12-minute piece which I could perform on my own with a few different instruments and some looping pedals. I made a recording of the piece and sent it over to my contacts at the fashion show . . . but a few days before I was to fly out to New York, they wrote back and told me they actually just wanted me to play a few older songs that they were already familiar with. Feeling slightly disappointed, I shelved the other piece, giving it the title If I Were A Runway Model. It is with great pleasure that I now present this piece in a collection of commissioned works spanning the last decade . . . it’s All Together Again. This group of oddball works does indeed include a couple pieces written for weddings (Our Future In Wedlock and The Walk), and a song someone asked me to write as a gift for his wife on their first year wedding anniversary (Emily). And indeed, there’s a 17-minute piece written to accompany a ferry boat ride in Istanbul (A Ride On The Bosphorus). A few of the pieces were written for films (Robbie’s Song, Atlantic and Seeing Things), and one for a kind of interactive installation (Unsung Heroes). In my early days of recording, I took pride in playing all the different instruments myself and doing the recording myself as well. And then at some point I started branching out, working with other musicians and recording engineers. But this record is very dear to me in that it’s a return to that original approach . . . playing all the different instruments myself, working with my limits on each one, and my own limits in recording and mixing. I’ve always held a broad curiosity for all different instruments and all different styles of music, and if nothing else I hope this record will portray that curiosity, and my pure love for this thing we call music. Can you dig it? The cover art was made by Peter himself in his hometown of Portland, Oregon, by cutting and sticking different coloured paper fragments to depict the individuality of each track Record Label: Erased Tapes Style: Pop

Henrik Schwarz’s Between Buttons label is pleased to announce its second release, Aphorisms, is a six track debut record from Syrian musicians Khaled Kurbeh and Raman Khalaf Ensemble. Raman Khalaf and Khaled Kurbeh are now based in Berlin but hail from Syria, and that shows in the music they have been making together since 2015. Their sound mixes up Raman’s oud playing and vocals with Khaled’s piano and synthesisers, and ranges from largely acoustic, such as on this EP, to more electronic when performing live. The music itself fuses ambient, jazz, minimal and world styles right from the off. Opener Toska is an epic cinematic opener. It’s warm and gentle with oud and violins making for their own little chapters in the overall story. Interlude is an absorbing passage of piano, double bass and synth and then To Kafranbel is nimble and dynamic as keys and oud sounds dance about. Al Baseet is another upbeat number with hand claps and oud bringing a nice sense of groove to the Iraqi-style vocals up top, while Shamal is a snippet of a long, bass driven studio live jam with claps, djembe and percussion before the pensive pianos of Einsamkeit Impromptu round things out in tender fashion. The artwork for this release is an etching by artist Yaser Safi and will come as 10 limited edition etchings printed at the Berlin Weissensee School of Art. It is a special final touch to a special debut record from this exciting new musical collective Record Label: Between Buttons Style: World Music

When she released her first songs, Dominique Dillon de Byington was 19 years old. In 2011, Dillon put together her songs written over the years for the album debut "This Silence Kills". With songs like "Tip Tapping" or "Thirteen Thirtyfive" - with more than 30 million YouTube streams the most successful single so far - they achieved their original pop-narrations, which hadn't been heard in Germany yet. "Kind" was produced and written in parts together with long-term collaborator Tamer Fahri Özgönenc, the New York-based producer Nicholas Arthur Weiss and the Swiss producer Samuel Savenberg. There are very effective wind instruments. In an enchanting way, Dillon designs his own musical system of signs here, which elude any interpretation from a certain point on. It's about the intensity of her voice and her words and being captivated by both of them Record Label: Pias Recordings Germany Style: Electronic Pop
