col legno

col legno approaches electronics from the composition studio rather than the club booth. Its catalogue makes room for computer music, live processing, organ-and-electronics systems and hybrid works in which acoustic virtuosity and electronic structure are inseparable. The imprint’s “new colours” idea is useful shorthand: repertoire is organised by curiosity about timbre and form rather than a single school.
