The label’s first release was ''Tempestuous'' by improvising musicians [[John Butcher (musician)|John Butcher]], Xavier Charles & [[Axel Dörner]] (2007).<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3" /> Reynell has stated that "most of the early releases [on Another Timbre] featured improvised music in the tradition of [[AMM (group)|AMM]] and/or [[Derek Bailey (guitarist)|Derek Bailey]]'s 'non-idiomatic' improvisation".<ref name=":0" /> The label has gradually released more 'composed' music, especially experimental classical music influenced by [[John Cage]]<ref></ref> and [[Morton Feldman]].
== Wandelweiser und so weiter ==
A key release in the label’s history was a 6-CD box set, ''Wandelweiser und so weiter'', released in 2012 and featuring composers associated with the Wandelweiser collective, whose music is generally very sparse and quiet, with frequent silences.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name=":2" /> These included [[Jürg Frey]], [[Radu Malfatti]], [[Michael Pisaro]]. The set also included music by younger composers influenced by this sound.

== Other significant releases ==
In 2014, Another Timbre released a double album of music by the UK composer [[Laurence Crane]], ''Chamber Works 1992-2009''.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> This was the first release on the label to contain solely fully composed music, as opposed to 'open scores' ([[Indeterminacy (music)|indeterminate music]]) that include some element of improvisation or choice. The album was a commercial success and was later re-printed.
In 2017 the label embarked on a series of ten albums, focussing on Canadian composers,<ref name=":1" /> including albums of music by [[Linda Catlin Smith]], Martin Arnold,<ref></ref> [[Cassandra Miller]] and [[Marc Sabat]].
As of 2019, the label has released more than 140 discs.<ref></ref>
