Libelocus-(Alpha), Libelocus-(Beta), Libelocus-(Gamma)

As of the time of writing (June 2026), this is the most recent Dumitrescu release, and a very welcome one at that. It’s also good to see it turning up on the excellent Art Into Life, a Japanese label and shop that’s become a hub for experimental music and modern composition. This is tough as guts stuff – the ensemble work implodes the boundaries of the composition, and the electronic passages overwhelm with their clattering vibrancy. Dumitrescu seemed committed to a hefty density of tonality that can render his works quite forbidding, on first encounter, but there’s plenty of beauty here, once you’re ensconced in the multiple folds of timbre that are fundamental to Dumitrescu’s compositional practice.
