Issued recordings
Primary material
Issued recordings
These are published sound issues catalogued under the name. Most postdate the works they carry, and an issue is never counted here as a work of composition. 4 issues carry dates between 2005 and 2014. The run opens with Rock Me and closes with Glück und Benzin. The 2000s are the densest part of the run, with 3 titles, and that concentration is a fact about what the registers have catalogued rather than a judgement on the work itself.
Recordings and discography
Primary material
Recordings and discography
The discography assembled here shows how Platnum's work has been published in sound, not what Platnum made. 15 sound issues are catalogued, carrying dates from 2004 to 2024. An issue is a published recording, distinct from the composition it carries, from a printed score of that composition and from any single performance of it; none of the entries below is counted in the catalogue of compositions above, and several of them carry the same work in different readings. The 2000s are the densest decade of publication, with 10 issues. The performers and issuing labels are as the discographic register states them; where it names no performer the article names none.
