Drawing together pieces shaped by breath, timbre and texture, the album invites a sonic journey where shifting colours, extended techniques and lyrical expression meet.

Works for solo flute, piccolo and alto flute by Paolo Perezzani, Andrew Ford and Brian Ferneyhough sit beside Nicole Chamberlain’s playful piece for piccolo and hand-cranked music box, Elizabeth Brown’s meditative duet for flute and shakuhachi, and Damian Barbeler’s haunting writing for piccolo and electronics.

Shifting Landscapes reflects Kathryn’s commitment to adventurous programming, artistic curiosity and expressive storytelling.

Each of the eleven tracks is a song without words. Written over a number of years, these pieces by Andrew Blyth share a concern for simplicity and directness of expression throughout the set.

Unearthly Music: Music by Australian Women Composers

A tribute to twentieth-century Australian women composers, this flute and piano recital gathers lesser-known chamber works in the hope that listeners, performers and programmers will bring the music to a wider audience.

Duo Blockstix: Works for Percussion and Recorder

Duo Blockstix is a unique Australian ensemble of recorder player Alicia Crossley and percussionist Joshua Hill, formed around the woody tones and sharp articulation of this unusual pairing.

Elektra

Australian piano music by Helen Gifford, Tony Gould, Andrew Ford, Julian Yu and Michael Kieran Harvey. The title work, Elektra, extends acoustic piano sound through computer processing, in a collaboration with sound engineer Michael Hewes, who shaped the instrument’s resonances in real time.

Front cover art for Broadway Boogie

Broadway Boogie

Broadway Boogie gathers premiere recordings of recent Australian piano works by Andrew Ford, Andrew Byrne, John McCaughey, Nigel Westlake, Mark Pollard and Michael Kieran Harvey, loosely linked by allusions to New York. Melbourne’s Herald-Sun named it the best classical CD of 2008.
