From lush new chamber works by Kamran Ince, Nancy Galbraith and Mark Phillips, visionary jazz sessions by Roscoe Mitchell and Myra Melford to bizarre electronic soundscapes by Matthew Burtner and Annea Lockwood, plus genre-defying groups like First Avenue and the Tin Hat Trio, the breadth of activity is truly astounding.

Herein, you'll find outstanding new repertoire for wind quintet, saxophone quartet, and symphony orchestra, as well as works requiring toy pianos and foot-stomps, 90-feet long strings, music combining the Arabic oud with the Brazilian berimbau, plus an astonishing array of new pieces combining Western and Chinese instruments. There are even oodles of rediscoveries ranging from hauntingly beautiful choral works by John Cage to a disc of solo piano music by Charles Ives's disapproving teacher Horatio Parker, plus the first-ever new music DVD (featuring music by Roger Reynolds).

A total of almost three straight days of great non-stop listening awaits the adventurous sonic explorer. . .Enjoy!
