This 15th “Polychromes Portraits” which is devoted to New Zealand (living in England, UK) composer Denis Smalley was published in English today. The French translation is planned for the end of 2010 2011.

On March 10, 2010 empreintes DIGITALes will release a triplet of discs — 2 new releases, and 1 reissue — by exceptional women composers.

• Ingrid Drese collects all of her acousmatic work in high definition sound: Interstices.
• Natasha Barrett presents a vast musical terrain of concert pieces and installation work in high definition stereo and “Surround” on 2 discs: Bouteilles de Klein.
• The original 1996 release by Hildegard Westerkamp became out of print… to be quickly reissued: Transformations (same music; new box).

empreintes DIGITALes is releasing the first disc by Belgian composer Ingrid Drese during the ÉlectroBelge concert on March 10, 2010 at Espace Senghor in Brussels (Belgium). Her complete acousmatic work is thus brought together — in high definition sound (48 KHz 24 bits) — on the Interstices DVD-Audio / DVD-Video. Also included is Ingrid Drese and Inés Wickmann’s videomusic Paysage avec miroir.

empreintes DIGITALes launches two more discs.

• Francis Dhomont offers three new works around Kafkaian themes: Études pour Kafka.
• Dominique Bassal presents Ubiquité with works in extreme high definition sound (96 KHz 24 bits) in stereo and “Surround 5.1.”
