I do find it rather ironic that this article begins with heavy criticism of downloadable music on internet, including a quote this quote: "for The virtual world of the internet shatters the record as an object into sound files of poor quality" and then the article ends with a link to an mp3 download. Wonderful music though and a very fine instrument.

Bernard, I totally agree.

In fact I'd go further. I think Bach's Trio Sonatas are among the greatest music he wrote for any instrument.

Thanks for visiting an overgrown path.

Jeff - your comment "So far, though, they've only released CD's from dead guys" is untrue.

As well as some remarkably fine music from dead guys like Bach, Mozart, Schoenberg and Webern the releases from Zig-Zag Territoires include works by living composers including Raoul Lay who was born in Marseilles in 1964. See this link.

Heh, I don't appreciate, given the history of classical record companies and their support of the artists, your linking of users of internet distribution methodologies with a 'mob' and ringtone silliness. The Internet, IMO, represents probably the greatest positive change in how independent artists communicate with audiences. I detect a serious bias in your blogging... and I have to vehemently disagree with your characterizations. Sounds like a very interesting record company and a great business sense. So far, though, they're only released CD's from dead guys.

Zig-Zag Territoires' are pretty hot on 20th century repertoire as well. For information on their recordings of contemporary music, including Xenakis' Okho, Psappha and Rebonds A & B and string quartets from the Second Viennese School, see my linked post at Sequenza21.
