9-23-23 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center

Greetings!

This week I'm showing off music from many shiny new releases including those from Paramorph Collective, Onepointtwo, Anahita Abbasi from the Iranian Female Composers Association, Stanley Grill, Ruigi Wang and Claire Chase.

As if that wasn't enough, I'm throwing in a couple of recent personal acquisitions including music from David First and a selection from the 11 CD set of Simeon Ten Holt's multiple piano works.  

Enjoy!

Joel
