New Nepenthe Music Blog started, called Rubato. Written by publisher Dwight Ashley. Click here to read the latest Rubato blog.

With the launch of the latest version of the Nepenthe website, not only will visitors be able to find the information they have come to expect regarding releases, but they will be able to buy directly from Nepenthe, and listen to track samples in a Flash player to help in purchasing decisions. And by the end of summer 2010, we will also offer digital downloads.

Downloadable music at NepentheMusic.com will begin with an exclusive digital version of Human Being. Digital tracks from this landmark recording will be available only at the Nepenthe Music website, and will include the liner notes written by Stephen Illfe in PDF form.

For the latest, be sure to sign up for the new Nepenthe Music e-news email.

A.R.S. is Dwight Ashley, neo-expressionist composer of darkly oceanic tone poems. Hans Joachim Roedelius, prolific visionary of the electronic music avant-garde. Tim Story, grammy-nominated auteur of contemporary chamber and chill. All three musicians have made their own unique contributions to the electronic music genre. Special Guest Alex Trajano, will be providing the rhythmic fuel to the melodic and abstract musings of A.R.S.

The anticipated reissue of Offene Türen will be out this December. We at Nepenthe are looking forward to this wonderful collection of music by Hans-Joachim Roedelius.



While Hans-Joachim Roedelius is now known for his Romantic compositions, this recording shows his more experimental / avant-garde side. Some compare Offene Türen to the work he did on the Cluster (Moebius & Roedelius) album Curiosum.

In December, Nepenthe Music will be reissuing a Dieter Moebius' classic, Blotch. The refreshed package artwork was created by Next Year’s News, the design firm that has developed a number of award-winning album designs for Nepenthe Music.
