Aka Moon | Unison (Ref.: CYP0607)
Since 1992 Aka Moon has recorded 16 albums, of which 15 were created as a duo in collaboration with other artists and, in one instance, as a trio. The protean side of the group's work is a witness to its open spirit and its affinity for discovery. The musical group has, in the last 20 years, accumulated invitations of prestigious musicians and, through this collaboration, succeeded in escaping the more traditional paths usually chosen by a trio. Always intent on returning to their sources, Fabrizio Cassol, Michel Hatzigeorgiou and Stéphane Galland do however feel the need - or even the urge - to privilege their initial configuration on stage as well as on CD in order to expose their musical maturity, a quality that has been acquired over time and throughout their joint experience.

Oscar Bianchi ? Matra (Ref.: CYP4502)
Tantric Shivaism, Gnostic writings and De Rerum Natura by Lucretius are intertwined to sing in MATRA the endless dimensions of material life. The result is a long, exalted prayer (35 minutes) that pits smooth harmonies against turbulent yet concentrated rhythms and bursts of implosive energy.

Fausto Romitelli ? The nameless city (Ref.: CYP5623)
What strikes immediately in Fausto Romitelli?s work (1963-2004) is the immediacy of his musical proposals that pleases the ear. As a convinced modernist who is careful not to indulge in the arrogant fallacy of radical rupture for its own sake, the composer represents an heir of Western musical traditions ? be they scholarly or popular, ancient or current ? all the while expressing a strong sense of independence towards historical necessity or the desire to pertain to a group, to be ?heard?.

Jonathan Harvey | Wagner Dream (Ref.: CYP5624)
Inspired by the last moments of Richard Wagner?s life and his interrupted opera project Die Sieger, which in turn is inspired by the buddhist legend of Prakriti and Ananda, Wagner Dream, an opera composed by Jonathan Harvey, seems to multiply and illuminate the veils of illusion.

Green | Sophie Karthäuser & Cédric Tiberghien (Ref.: CYP1664)
This disc could well have been called ?Faces of Verlaine?, but that multiplicity is already present in its chosen title, ?Green?. Sophie Karthäuser and Cédric Tiberghien make a loving and instinctive survey of these faces through the eyes of the myriad composers who became besotted with Verlaine?s poetry.

Jean-Marie Rens - Traces (Ref.: CYP4638)
If you had to describe the very unique approach of Jean-Marie Rens in a few words, Debussy's famous words indicating that discipline needs to be found in freedom come to mind in so far as in his work imagination and mastery are inextricably tied to each other.
