Disquiet Media

Founded by composer Michel van der Aa in 2010, Disquiet is a multimedia label that embraces unfurling technologies in a wide spectrum of the arts. Based in Amsterdam, it focuses on compositions and music-theatre works that are firmly rooted in twenty-first century life.

Combining staging, film images and soundtracks, composer and director Van der Aa pushes the boundaries of all his media. Drawing on a unique layered vocabulary, his music has an expressive power and range that place him firmly in the vanguard of new music.

The catalogue centres around Van der Aa’s work. The first releases feature renowned ensembles and orchestras including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra, Amsterdam Sinfonietta, and soloists such as Janine Jansen, Kari Kriikku, Christianne Stotijn, Claron McFadden, Barbara Hannigan and Sol Gabetta.

The Disquiet catalogue is released in various media. Visit the Disquiet webshop to purchase CDs, DVDs and high quality downloads, and enjoy free streaming of the entire catalogue.
