About us

Wolke is an independent publisher of books about music.

Our focus is on new music, jazz, sound art and theory - on those edges of listening where thought and practice, past and present, language and sound meet.

We have been publishing volumes of essays, monographs, conversations, artistic self-understandings, reprints and documentary material for 45 years. We publish books by and about composers, musicians, activists, theorists and listeners - curious, critical and open to formal experiments with the book as a medium.

What unites us is our belief in the power of publications as places of exchange: between art and science, archive and stage, scene and public. We work closely with our authors, accompanying projects from idea to presentation - and attach great importance to careful design and high-quality production.

Our books can be found in bookshops, concert halls and libraries, at festivals, at one of our many book stands or here in our webshop - and perhaps soon in your home too.
