In 2015, Sylvian released "Playing The Schoolhouse" with Confront Recordings in two limited editions. The release, a 15-minute long composition, was composed based on improvisations by Sylvian and Jan Bang - with contributions by Otomo Yoshihide and Toshimaru Nakamura - and was recorded in a schoolhouse in Norway. Sylvian collaborated again with Confront Recordings in 2017, with Mark Wastell (who runs Confront Recordings) and Rhodri Davies for the first release of the Confront Core Series, "There Is No Love". The long-form composition was created with previously recorded materials, and features text from Bernard-Marie Koltès's "In the Solitude of Cotton Fields".
