UYMP house composer, James Weeks, has recently released a new album G O M B E R T with the ensemble, Apartment House, under the record label, Another Timbre. 

The album consists of seven motets and a chanson by 16th century Franco-Flemish composer, Nicolas Gombert, arranged for instruments by Weeks who also composed the interludes between the Gombert pieces. Weeks straddles the worlds of both early and contemporary music, and his 'media vita' interludes act as resting points between Gombert's intricate pieces.
