Adrián Demoč - Flute (Manuel Zurria) (elsewhere 039)

(release date: March 1, 2026)

'Flute' is an album of six pieces written by Slovak composer Adrián Demoč and performed by Italian flutist and multi-instrumentalist Manuel Zurria. Of the six pieces, "Zamat" is performed in two different versions. This is Demoč's second release on elsewhere music, following the 2024 release 'Piano', as well as Zurria's second appearance as the flutist, following the 2024 release Giuliano d’Angiolini - ')))((('.

Demoč's compositions are often intended for open instrumentation or a "monochromatic polyphonic" instrument. All of the pieces on this album, except for the new piece "Harmonium," were previously released by another timbre and elsewhere music for different instrumentations.

On ‘Flute’, Zurria opens new possibilities for interpreting Demoč's scores by weaving mesmerizing layers of sound by playing flutes and bottles. Through his exquisitely delicate and creative approach, Zurria masterfully balances the two primary aesthetic qualities of Demoč's music—drawing out the harmonic beauty while allowing the contemporary fragility and edge to shine.

Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Manuel Zurria at BigCardo Studio in Rome and Catania in September and December of 2025.
