The album features Mechanical Asynchonicity II. Score: Mechanical Asynchronicity was a collaborative project between visual artist Danica Maier and composer Martin Scheuregger. The project takes a single historical lace draft from the Nottingham Lace Archive as the starting point for new live and installation-based visual-musical works. This lace draft would have originally been used to programme a mechanical lace machine – it is, in essence, a set of graphical instructions. For this project, it has been repurposed to create instructions – in graphic and traditional notation – for a group of musicians. Overall, the work explores an iterative re-encoding process, embracing imperfection and glitch as an intrinsic part of its aesthetic. Key ideas of transcribing, encoding and re-encoding are explored through our compositional and graphical interventions, and through the musical interpretation of the results. You can also listen to the interactive, open-access version of the vinyl online. https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/strange-machines monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a1578eb20c432f4ce193ee/1787152285163-DOHCPTZVXLIL1SYER7VT/Strange+machines.jpg Albums - Strange Machines - Strange Machines, Jonathan Sage and Delia Stevens (2020, CD and digital) A CD of new works exploring the contemporary clarinet. The album features The Package Contents Shall Prevail. This project began one York day when composer Neil Tòmas Smith asked his friend, clarinettist Jonathan Sage, for some advice on a new piece he'd been working on... Neil had been wondering about the musical possibilities provided by the rhythmic patterns of bouncing ping pong balls, all set off at different times and from different heights; and – of course – a work for solo clarinet was the obvious outlet! The sketches Jonathan played through that day quickly became an incredible new piece for solo clarinet, Strange Machines, that drew on all the coloristic and virtuosic possibilities of the instrument. This spark of inspiration – and the remarkably catchy title – acted as a catalyst for a much bigger project: the aim was to record a whole album of contemporary music for the clarinet, featuring little-heard repertoire by established composers and two more brand new pieces. A combination of enthusiasm, gentle arm-twisting, and an inexhaustible supply of tea and biscuits, enticed a range of additional collaborators. Drawing on the talents of award-winning percussionist Delia Stevens, composers Martin Scheuregger and Christopher Leedham, and recording guru Jon Hughes, the Strange Machines project grew into a 45' minute programme of contemporary music for clarinet and percussion. https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/two-worlds monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a1578eb20c432f4ce193ee/1787152510330-8DU803ZQRDXO9DUJG8AM/Two+Worlds.png Albums - Two Worlds - Two Worlds, Percussing (2017, CD and digital) Debut CD from soprano and marimba duo Percussing. The album features It was not death which I wrote for Percussing’s debut concert in 2015. Two Worlds is a collection of intimate songs that contrast themes of death and conflict with those of peace and resolution. Both marimba and voice play vital roles in telling the stories in these six original songs. I worked as producer for the album, recording the tracks at St Peter and St Paul Church, Reepham, Lincolnshire across three days in May 2017. https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/firewheel monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a1578eb20c432f4ce193ee/1787146251827-RBTGLKC6QSG7EXHPJEI9/Firewheel.jpeg Albums - Firewheel - Firewheel, Dark Inventions (2016, CD and digital) New British music juxtaposed with arrangements of traditional folk songs. The album features The Four Last Things and Death and The Lady. Joined by singer, composer and songwriter Stef Conner, the group performs old songs interwoven with music by emerging composers of the contemporary British scene. Central to the tour is Firewheel, a brand new work from leading British composer Philip Cashian. The tour features works by composers with links to the North of England: Stef Conner (RPS Prize 2012); Benjamin Gait (Sound and Music Ensemble 10/10 Portfolio composer); Patrick Jones (Britten Sinfonia OPUS 2014 winner); Christopher Leedham (Sound and Music Composer-Curator 2013); and Martin Scheuregger (British Music Collection composer-in-residence). https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/hinterland-zmnd4 monthly 0.5 2026-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65a1578eb20c432f4ce193ee/ab38ea01-ede2-4b9d-98f3-31e59eb6f80a/Hinterland.jpg Albums - Hinterland - Hinterland, Dark Inventions (2013, CD and digital) Three contemporary works for chamber ensemble are juxtaposed with traditional folksongs in Dark Inventions' Hinterland project. The album features three of my works: Black Swans, Come at Dawn and Bird on a Briar. The subtle changes of texture in Hinterland (1999) are at the forefront of its soundworld, creating an introspective quality that exists at the very edge of audibility; a violin crescendo or a pulsing bass clarinet become, in this context, major events. Timbres created by low piccolo or high string harmonics enhance the sense of fragility, adding to the impression that the music will fracture and decay. A flock of white swans will look all the whiter when a single black swan flies amongst them. The idea of vivid clarity achieved by complete contrast inspired Black Swans (2013), a work in which motifs, gestures and sections are juxtaposed both for impact and to achieve a sense of clarity from one moment to the next. Placing the warmth of resonance alongside the fragility of a lone melodic line, Of silence and harmony (2013) explores how a single instrument can gradually assert itself on an ensemble, emerging from the shadows to become the principal protagonist. https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/category/2017 monthly 0.5 https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/category/2016 monthly 0.5 https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/category/2014 monthly 0.5 https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/category/2013 monthly 0.5 https://www.scheuregger.co.uk/albums/category/2020 monthly 0.5
