Giacinto Scelsi, Count of Ayala Valva (La Spezia, January 8, 1905 – Rome, August 9, 1988) was an Italian composer who also wrote surrealist poetry in French. He is best known for writing music based around only one pitch, altered in all manners through microtonal oscillations, harmonic allusions, and changes in timbre and dynamics, as paradigmatically exemplified in his revolutionary Quattro Pezzi su una nota sola ["Four Pieces on a single note"] (1959). The other Scelsi composition in this disc is Pranam (1972), or Pranam I "In memory of the tragic losses of Jani and Sia Christou" (for soprano voice, 12 instruments & tape).

Johannes (Hans) Wolfgang Zender (born 22 November 1936 in Wiesbaden) is a German conductor and composer. In 1972 he began his activity as Principal Conductor of the Radio-Symphony Orchestra in Saarbrücken. In this disc, there are some Zender compositions : Zeitströme for orchestra (1974), Cantata after words by Meister Eckhart, for alto, alto flute, violoncello, and harpsichord (1980) and Fünf Haiku (LO-SHU IV) for flute and strings (1982)
