| Two new releases are finally in the pipeline! One is the first official release of a lost Minimal Music masterpiece of the 80ies. Lubomyr Melnyk, Canadian composer and pianist with Ukrainian origins, born 1948, recorded the piece ‘The Voice of Trees’ in 1983 but it only appeared on a very small run of CD-Rs. We are proud to make that epic composition - that does not need to hide behind major works of Steve Reich, Philip Glass or Terry Riley - available in a newly mastered version for the very first time on CD. Lubomyr Melnyk is accompanied by tuba player Melvyn Poore, who became a member of renowned ensemble Zeitkratzer later in his career. This CD is going to be available in about a week. Second new release ist the second vinyl production on Hinterzimmer Records. After Ural Umbo, Reto Mäder presents another duo project, this time together with local mate Mike Reber from Herpes Ö DeLuxe. It’s called Pendulum Nisum and is an atmospheric mix of organic drone soundforms, field recordings and studio trickery. This LP is available NOW! |

We are extremely pleased to welcome French legend Ghédalia Tazartès on Hinterzimmer Records.

Less than a year after Rhys Chathams highly acclaimed The Bern Project release on small underground label Hinterzimmer Records, he got the chance to put out a live recording of his A Crimson Grail composition on a major label. The recordings he did in New York’s Lincoln Center together with no less than 200 guitarists are going to be released on Nonesuch/Warner on the 14th september. On that label he shares artist roster with Laurie Anderson, Pat Metheney, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Kronos Quartet, Ry Cooder and the like. |

We are proud to release a brand new full lenght album by N.Y. legend Rhys Chatham. The Bern Project presents six new compositions that Chatham recorded in Bern together with swiss musicians Julian Sartorius (drums), Mago Flueck (electric bass) and Beat Unternährer (trombone). The best parts of many hours of recordings were mixed, edited and complemented by Hinterzimmer's Reto Mäder and became some kind of the first Rhys Chatham album with band since 1987s "Die Donnergötter"... The second full-length album from Rashomon (aka Guapo founding member Matt Thompson) follows 2007s The Ruined Map (Film Music Volume 1). Inspired by John Kirsh's scaremongering public information broadcast The Finishing Line (1977), the record is a sonic re-imagining of the film as a haunted meditation on the power of memory, drawing the listener into a claustrophobic sense of unease and mounting horror. An amalgam of library music, 1970s prog soundtracks, musique concrète and spectral jazz, the music of Rashomon is by turns creepy, terrifying, artless then all the way back to creepy again. |
