Symphony No. 6 (1955). Walter Piston #fave #lilwayne #lilwalter

On rdio, I found a bunch of new recordings on a interesting label, 2013 Ameritz Music Ltd. The label has various releases of modern classical music scattered among Karaoke and pop tribute music.

It appears the label is a distribution vehicle for pushing releases to digital music stores:

Yes, to artists who join Ameritz music we will be offering a “Non Exclusive” License which allows you to keep the rights to all of your music.

"A volcanic rumble also persists throughout “Insext” in a way that makes it seem ready to devour the other elements at any moment."  Textura

Cello Concerto (2012). Nico Muhly

"The first movement begins with a texture quite explicitly stolen from the first bar of Dutilleux’s Métaboles, and proceeds from there." Nico Muhly
