Tempo No. 315 (January 2026) inaugurates a new phase for Tempo: The Quarterly Review of New Music as the first issue published by Wolke Verlag. Edited by Christopher Fox with an expanded editorial team, the journal continues its tradition of rigorous, critically engaged writing on contemporary music.

This issue presents essays, interviews, festival reports, and reviews addressing current compositional practices, listening cultures, and institutional contexts. Contributions engage with ecological and cross-cultural perspectives, feminist approaches to voice and technology, and questions of abstraction, identity, and politics in new music. An extended interview with Steven Kazuo Takasugi offers insight into composition, pedagogy, and activism.

A substantial focus on the 2025 Darmstadt Summer Courses examines education, power, and inclusion within contemporary music institutions. Reviews document recent international performances, festivals, and recordings.

Available via Exact Editions as a fully searchable and easy-to-read digital facsimile, Tempo No. 315 provides academic libraries and university departments with a reliable resource for research, teaching, and critical debate on contemporary music.
