Levit has started a label. It is called NO SILENCE, Sony Classical handles the distribution, and in a long interview with Tagesspiegel he described the undertaking the way a person describes building a house: foundation first, then the foundation's foundation, then a festival and an academy somewhere down the line. What makes the first release something other than an announcement is the programme. Liszt's piano transcription of Beethoven's Eroica sits beside Schoenberg's Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte, Op. 41, written in Los Angeles exile in 1942 to a Byron poem of 1814 — which means the record is organised around a dedication Beethoven famously scratched off his own title page. Giorgio Koukl, writing in EarRelevant, put the commercial reality plainly: a major label would have turned this coupling down flat a few decades ago. He admires the slow tempi and the refusal of triumphal noise, and registers one reservation, that Schoenberg's hexachordal scaffolding is not as easily heard here as it might be. Dörte Lyssewski recites; Antonello Manacorda conducts the Kammerakademie Potsdam. 這是列維特自辦廠牌 NO SILENCE 的開張碟,掛在 Sony Classical 名下發行。他在《Tagesspiegel》的專訪裡把辦廠牌比作蓋一棟房子,還說後面要做基金會、節慶、學院。我更在意的是曲目單:李斯特改編的貝多芬《英雄》,配荀白克 1942 年流亡洛杉磯時寫的《Ode to Napoleon Buonaparte》Op.41,取拜倫 1814 年那首詩。兩個作品隔了一百三十多年,中間站著同一個人的名字。鋼琴家兼評論人 Giorgio Koukl 在 EarRelevant 的說法很直接:這種配對擱在幾十年前,任何大公司都會直接拒掉;而在列維特手上它「unfolds its full potential」。他也留了一句保留意見,說荀白克的六音組結構在這個版本裡「not as easily heard」。朗誦是 Dörte Lyssewski,樂團 Kammerakademie Potsdam,指揮 Antonello Manacorda。

The booklet gives the dates as 11–13 April 2025, the room as the National House of Music in Kyiv, the producer as that hall's own Olga Kononenko. Between the two quartets there is a line you can hear being crossed. The D minor, Op. 1, is coursework from 1915, submitted to Reinhold Glière and dedicated to him; the A major, Op. 4, was finished in 1922, when Lyatoshynsky was twenty-seven, and the voice in it has stopped asking permission. NotaBene formed in Kyiv in 2015. Chandos is billing this as volume one. 錄音地點寫在冊子上:2025 年四月十一到十三日,基輔的 National House of Music。製作人 Olga Kononenko 是那間館自己的人,錄音師 Maksym Hladetskyy。碟上兩首四重奏中間有一道清楚的界線:d 小調 Op.1 寫於 1915 年,是他在 Glière 門下交的功課,題獻也給了 Glière;A 大調 Op.4 寫於 1922 年,他二十七歲,聲音已經是自己的了。NotaBene 2015 年在基輔組起來,四個年輕人,這是一個還會往下做的系列的頭一卷。

The influences Johnson lists on his own Bandcamp page run Wayne Shorter, Eddie Harris, and Italo Calvino, and the last name is the useful one. He plays the saxophone less as a voice than as a switch: the horn triggers samplers, drum machines, pedals, and a harmonizer that turns a single line into a moving chord. Paul Bryan co-produced and played bass. Meshell Ndegeocello appears on exactly one piece, "High Step." 他吹薩克斯的第一個用途不是發聲,是觸發:管身接採樣器、鼓機與效果器,再把薩克斯過 harmonizer 疊出和聲層。共同製作人 Paul Bryan 同時彈貝斯。Bandcamp 頁上那份影響源名單值得看一眼,Wayne Shorter 與 Eddie Harris 之外還列了卡爾維諾。客席裡 Meshell Ndegeocello 只在〈High Step〉彈貝斯,另有 Macie Stewart 的小提琴、Marquis Hill 的小號、Ben Lumsdaine 的鼓。他自己同時在 SML、Jeff Parker ETA IVtet 與 Flea 的 Honora 樂團裡。

A commemorative coin came back as change from a vending machine, and the coastline stamped on it was the one she walks. That is where this record starts. The title is a pun that only works in Japanese — anshō, a submerged reef, against anshō-bangō, the PIN you type at a cash machine — and the materials are as plain as the pun is sly: voice, synthesiser, the noise of the room, taped near the Chiba shore. Metoronori has been making improvised home recordings since 2011, with earlier releases on Virgin Babylon, Orange Milk, and Glossy Mistakes. Two hundred copies on vinyl. メトロノリ(Metoronori)這個標題是個雙關:暗礁與暗証番號的前半同音。整張的材料只有人聲、合成器與房間噪音,錄在千葉海岸附近。起點是一枚千葉縣紀念幣,她從自動售貨機找零拿到,幣面印的正是她住的那段海岸線。她 2011 年起做即興的家庭錄音實驗流行樂,前幾張出在 Virgin Babylon、Orange Milk 與 Glossy Mistakes。黑膠 140g,兩百張。

He wrote alone in the Tennessee hills for a year, decided none of it was good enough, and telephoned his sister, who told him to write what he was actually feeling. Everything on the record postdates that call. Nick Waterhouse and Paul Butler produced; Tyler Ballgame co-wrote the opener. Maeri Ferguson's review in No Depression is worth reading alongside it. 他對這個標題的解釋是:憤怒的紅和悲傷的藍,在紫色裡匯合。聽起來像後見之明的漂亮話,但往前推一步就不像了——2022 年那張《If I Were A Butterfly》的長巡演期間,他經歷了一段糟糕的感情、幾次喪失,以及父親去世,之後回田納西山裡獨居。他寫了一年,判定寫出來的都不夠,打電話給妹妹,妹妹叫他直接寫他真正在感覺的東西。製作是 Nick Waterhouse 與 Paul Butler,開場曲〈Better Man〉與 Tyler Ballgame 合寫。Maeri Ferguson 在 No Depression 給了署名專評。

Brooks went to Nova Scotia because that is where Joshua Van Tassel works, cut the beds there in April with Van Tassel on drums and Dean Drouillard covering bass, electric guitar, Wurlitzer, and piano, and then sang the lead vocals back home in Toronto. She is a third of Good Lovelies, twenty years old as a group this year. "Make it Happen" began during a winter residency at the Banff Centre, when she stepped outside in her socks to look at moonlight on snow and found the door had locked behind her. 她是加拿大和聲三人組 Good Lovelies 的三分之一,那個團今年滿二十年。這是她第二張個人碟,為此專程去新斯科舍找 Joshua Van Tassel 製作,2026 年四月在那邊錄;Van Tassel 自己打鼓,Dean Drouillard 包了貝斯、電吉他、Wurlitzer 與鋼琴,Christine Bougie 加 lap steel,主唱軌則回多倫多補錄。首單〈Make it Happen〉起於班夫中心的冬季駐留:她走出小屋看雪地上的月光,只穿著襪子就被鎖在門外,回屋之後那首歌才成形。

Three guitarists from Nagoya, twenty years in, about eighteen months on this one. The anniversary detail that matters is "MOONWALK," where Ikkyu Nakajima of tricot sings a lyric by Hirokazu Furusawa — the band's first piece with a voice in it from end to end. Kawazura Haruchi engineered. The release show is at Diamond Hall, with cinema staff and the cabs on the first bill. 名古屋的三吉他器樂團,今年結成二十年,這張就是週年作,做了大約一年半。值得記一筆的是〈MOONWALK〉請了 tricot 的中嶋イッキュウ唱,詞由古澤浩和執筆——二十年下來第一首從頭到尾有人唱的曲子。錄音音響是川面晴智,封面美術出自 FUKE。發片場設在名古屋 Diamond Hall,第一波嘉賓是 cinema staff 與 the cabs。

Sixth album, and the theme is travel; the last one was about food. The cover photograph, by Shun Komiyama, doubles as the key visual for the tour of the same name. Early orders came with Shukei Tamaoki's handwritten notes on every song, which is a more honest gesture than any press release. 第六張,主題是旅行;上一張《ザ・ビュッフェ》的主題是食物。官方自己的說法叫「音樂旅行」。封面由攝影師小見山峻拍攝,與同名巡演的 key visual 共用同一組影像。早期預訂特典裡放了主唱兼吉他玉置周啟親筆的逐曲解說——這種東西比任何宣傳語都誠實,他願意一首一首交代,就是把判斷權交出來。
