Aphorisms, is a six track debut record from Syrian musicians Khaled Kurbeh & Raman
Khalaf Ensemble. Raman Khalaf and Khaled Kurbeh are now based in Berlin but hail
from Syria, and that shows in the music they have been making together since 2015.
The years since have seen them perform at the likes of CTM, at the BBC Arabic Festival
in London and Potsdamer Tanztage as well as on Piano Day at Funkhaus. Their sound
mixes up Raman’s oud playing and vocals with Khaled’s piano and synthesisers, and
ranges from largely acoustic, such as on this EP, to more electronic when performing
live.

Henrik Schwarz and Alma Quartet present CCMYK, a new album on Henrik's own label
Between Buttons. Produced in collaboration with the Alma String Quartet, it's a free
conversation between classical and electronic music, carefully transformed into a set
of astonishing tracks, ready for club or concert hall. Though based on free
improvisations between laptop and string Instruments, CCMYK is not a record of
bumbling jams. Rather, it's a record of startling density, control and emotional
complexity. This is the sound of open conversation between piercing intellects, taking
their individual instruments and musical backgrounds to create a new universe of sound.
