The label's founding concept was \"music that is the next most beautiful thing after silence.\" Its transparent sound, clear tone, and sophisticated, beautiful jacket designs set it apart from other labels and have captivated many fans around the world. It has produced numerous jazz masterpieces such as Keith Jarrett's \"The K?ln Concert\" (1975), Chick Corea's \"Return to Forever\" (1972), and Pat Metheny's \"Bright Size Life\" (1976). In 1984, it expanded its genres and entered the classical music world. ECM has launched the \"ECM New Series,\" which focuses on contemporary music, and has released new works by Arvo P?rt, Gidon Kremer, Heinz Holliger, and others. Eicher, who turned 80 last year, continues to record more than 20 new albums a year, making it one of the most active labels in the pursuit of music. In conjunction with the release of the new series \"ECM Revisits,\" commemorating the 55th anniversary of ECM's founding, the \"ECM in the 21st Century\" series, originally released in 2022, has been repressed. This series introduces the current state of ECM, focusing on artists who are currently at the forefront of the music scene. This is the 2019 ECM debut album by an improvised vocalist\/pianist who gained international attention with Tigran Hamasyan's group. The voice of the vocalist\/folk singer\/storyteller\/pianist, the piano and the delicate percussion of Nicholas Stocker create sparse yet beautiful music that constantly casts a shadow of silence. Deeply rooted in the traditions of his Armenian heritage, he reinterprets sacred hymns, traditional stories, and folk songs written by Komitas, weaving them into his unique and evocative compositions. Tracks M-2 and M-15, credited to Manfred Eicher, are also included! \u003cpersonnel\u003e Areni Agbabian (voice, p) Nicholas Stocker (perc) Recorded October 16-18, 2016 at Auditorio Stelio Moro, Lugano, Switzerland Media Reviews and More This is the 2019 ECM debut album from the improvised vocalist\/pianist who gained international attention with Tigran Hamasyan's group.
