    "With her extraordinary debut album, Prelude, young Slovenian pianist
    Rebeka Rusjan Zajc (now residing in Amsterdam), announces herself
    as a precocious new talent, already forging her own distinctive art
    language, navigating the bountiful margins between non-idiomatic >improvisation, jazz and classical music." >https://cleanfeedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/prelude

    So FWIW, the pianist herself saw this post here, back at the time,
    something that could still happen with RMCR....

    Anyway, now she's back with the planned bigger set -- beyond _Prelude_
    above:

    https://cleanfeedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/introducing-4

    It's a series of 5 solo "Piano Operas." (Maybe think Liszt, but
    passing through the delicacy of French salon music...? I'd earlier
    suggested Sorabji's image of a perfumed garden... minus the fugues.)
    A little over 3 hours in total. Still seems like the kind of piano
    playing some (perhaps now lapsed...) posters here would appreciate....

    (Also on streaming, including high-def e.g. on Qobuz.)

    Thank you for the rec! I (cheregi) am still here occasionally but,
    you know, less and less as it gets more and more dysfunctional.
    I'm just a few minutes into the first track here and predictably
    really getting a lot out of it. Anyway I've been intermittently
    working on another big RYM essay-list and at risk of sounding
    presumptuous I wanted to note that I plan to link it here when
    it's up..

    Nice to hear from you, and I look forward to what you've got
    brewing....

    One-of-a-kind Australian violinist Jon Rose, attempting to record
    the wind:

    https://room40.bandcamp.com/album/aeolian-tendency

    Rose has designed & built many instruments over the years. These
    recordings are from a couple of combined volume & string resonators
    made to be activated by wind....

    (Rose has previously built e.g. a bicycle that he rides as a sort
    of hurdy-gurdy.... Various things.)

    Eclectic collection by various composers (including Cage, Grisey, Scelsi...) titled _Music for Trumpets, Bass Clarinets & Saxophones_:

    Very precise playing. A world of color from horns. This label
    doesn't usually release to streaming, but one of the clarinet players
    has it on his own site now....
