Second Flight:live At The Z7

Das selbstbetitelte Debüt der neuen Supergroup erscheint 2012 und "sophisticated" ist wohl ein passender Begriff, um die "Flying Colors"-Rezeptur auf den Punkt zu bringen. Das Album trifft den Nerv von Melodic-, Hard Rock- und Metal-Freunde ebenso wie jenen von Progressive-Rock-Liebhabern. Es erreicht Top-Twenty-Chartpositionen in aller Welt, und der Rest ist beinahe schon Geschichte. 2012 touren die Flying Colors erstmals in Europa und den USA. Zur Freude der Fans ergänzen die Musiker dabei das Material ihres Debütalbums mit Stücken ihrer Stammbands und sogar um ein Leonard-Cohen-Cover. Festgehalten ist das Ganze auf dem im niederländischen Tilburg aufgenommenen Mitschnitt "Live in Europe". 2013 folgt der Auftakt zum zweiten Streich: Das Songwriting und die Aufnahmen für "Second Nature" erstrecken sich über eineinhalb Jahre und wieder kann sich das Ergebnis hören und sehen lassen: "Second Nature" erscheint im September letzten Jahres, es klettert auf Top10-Positionen und wird vom britischen "PROG"-Magazin als "Album of the Year" für die Prog Awards 2015 nominiert (Flying Colors: "Band of the Year").Zurück auf den Bühnen, entdecken die Bandmitglieder "Second Nature" nur wenige Tage und Wochen nach dessen Erscheinen gemeinsam neu - und dies im doppelten Sinne: Zum einen mit dem wiederum zahlreich vertretenen Publikum, zum anderen gemeinsam mit Blick auf die Gruppe selbst, denn die Produktion des Albums hatte sich weitgehend via Internet vollzogen und kein einziges Mal waren die Musiker dabei alle gemeinsam an einem Ort versammelt. Ein Experiment also. Wie gut es gelungen ist, dokumentiert der jetzt als Doppel-CD, Dreifach-LP mit Bonustrack sowie als DVD/Blu-ray erhältliche Mitschnitt "Second Flight: Live at the Z7"aus dem schweizerischen Pratteln. Dass die Flying Colors dafür nicht mit technischen Rafinessen gegeizt haben, hört und sieht man deutlich: 24 Kameras waren für die Filmaufnahmen aufgeboten. Das Videomastering mit Technik, die auch beim Blockbuster "Star Wars" und in IMAX-Kinos zum Einsatz kommt, übernahmen Experten der Special-Effects-Firma Cinnafilm. Beim 5.1.-Klang kann der Hörer zwischen Einstellungen wechseln, die ihn imaginär wahlweise auf die beiden akustisch besten Plätze im Z7 oder direkt ans Mischpult in der Halle versetzen. Und wer nur Audio will, kann den Front-Row-Mix auch über Surround-Kopfhörer genießen.FORMAT VERSION:- 2CD + HD Blu-ray in CD Digipak-Verpackung, aufgenommen Live in der Z7 Konzertfabrik in der Schweiz während der Second Nature Tour 2014- Bonus Material: HD Musikvideos zu "Kayla", "Mask Machine", "The Fury Of My Love", "A Place In Your World" plus Interviews mit Flying Colors über ihre Aufnahmen von "Second Nature"- 3LP in der Gatefold Verpackung - 180g schwarzes Vinyl, inkl.

Skinny Puppy: Live: Bootlegged,broke and in

Ein Klassiker jagt den nächsten: Rodent, Worlock, Addiction, Assimilate - aufgenommen im Rahmen der letzten Europa-Tour der legendären Kanadier.Soundgewaltig, kompromisslos und organisch im doppelten Sinne, sind die Livekonzerte von Skinny Puppy, die man eigentlich gar nicht in Worte fassen kann. Bootlegged, Broke And In Solvent Seas wird das neue Livealbum der kanadischen Electro-Industrial-Heroen heissen, aufgezeichnet während ihrer grandiosen letzten Europa-Tour in Warschau, Bratislava, Hildesheim und Budapest. Die Songs wurden, anders als bei den meisten Livemitschnitten, weder geglättet noch künstlich aufgemotzt. Genau so, wie sie mittels Soundboard von Ken Marshall eingefangen wurden, gelangten sie auch auf die CD, so dass eine absolut authentische und urbane Skinny Puppy Liveatmosphäre garantiert ist. Auf gute Qualität muss man natürlich dennoch nicht verzichten, denn es dürfte bekannt sein, dass Skinny Puppy sowohl Technikfanatiker, als auch seit nun fast 30 Jahren im Geschäft sind. Unzählige Bands, darunter Nine Inch Nails und Marilyn Manson, hat die lebende Legende dazu inspiriert, überhaupt Musik dieser Art zu machen und diese Live CD enthält nahezu alle ihre wichtigen frühen Meilensteine in frischen und packenden Liveversionen. TRACKS: 1. Prelude (Warsaw) 2. Rodent (Warsaw) 3. Dead Lines (Bratislava) 4. Dogshit (Warsaw) 5. Addiction (Bratislava) 6. HateKill (Warsaw) 7. Worlock (Hildesheim) 8. Morpheus Laughing (Warsaw) 9. Assimilate (Warsaw) 10. Shore Lined Poison (Budapest)

Summer Of '13

180 Gramm LP. Das sechste Album des Ex-Arab-Strap-Members wurde lange erwartet - und es ist super.Malcolm Middleton verkörpert eigentlich den klassischen Folksänger, schreckt jedoch nicht davor zurück, im Alternativerock-Gewand nebst Band Gas zu geben. Die Singer/Songwriter-Referenz Simon & Garfunkel konkurriert beständig mit Bruce Springteens Breitwand-Rock um die Vorherrschaft in Malcolms Soundgefüge - ohne dass ein eindeutiger Sieger auszumachen wäre. Der gebürtige Schotte lebt die Liebe zur Musik seit den Neunzigern berufsmäßig aus. Zu der Zeit sammelt er erste Banderfahrungen, die sich erstmals 1995 zu einem international ernst zunehmenden Projekt verdichten. Gemeinsam mit Aidan Moffat hebt er die Folk-Indies Arab Strab aus der Taufe. In der elfjährigen Bandgeschichte veröffentlichen die beiden sechs Studioalben. Malcolm tritt erstmals 2002 als Solist in Erscheinung und lenkt den Fokus nach dem Arab Strab-Split auf seine Solokarriere. Der Mittdreißiger beherrscht ein ungewöhnlich großes Spektrum diverser Musikinstrumente wie Saxofon, Gitarre oder Piano. Er gilt als zynischer Charakter, der seine Aussagen mit einer gehörigen Portion Ironie spickt: Ich genieße den Schreibprozess. Dabei schreibe ich darüber, was ich weiß. Jedoch weiß ich nicht wirklich viel. (LAUT.de) His first album for seven years and the sixth solo album from the ex-Arab Strap man, is set for release on the relaunched Nude Records. In Malcolm's songs hope and optimism have always existed (they were just well hidden) and catchy has always been his prime prerogative, but with the new album glimmering with heady production, this clearly shines through. Calling upon the expertise of Glasgow-based dance producer Miaoux Miaoux, the album also features guest appearances by Beta Band/The Aliens founder Gordon Anderson aka Lone Pigeon (also creator of the album s artwork, technicolour photography and who became a 'soundboard' for Malcolm after he moved into the cottage next door). De Rosa's Martin John Henry and First Aid Kit s Scott Simpson also add to the albums sonic swirl and sense of fun. A wonky tonk fun-land of squelching synths and sweeping strings, Steps is a cosmic space ride through pitch bends and vocal manipulation whilst Information In The Voice unexpectedly drops pop RnB hip hop. But it s never without feeling, take the romantic You & I or shimmering and rhapsodic Big Black Hole with its twinkling piano hook. Put together, there s a neon glow of 80s new wave, alongside smoggier shades of the Chromatics or Johnny Jewel s Glass Candy. Malcolm has always enjoyed challenging his listeners and this time around is no exception. TRACKS: 1. Steps 2. You & I 3. Information In The Voice 4. Brackets 5. Like John Lennon Said 6. Little Hurricane 7. Music Ticks 8. Summer Of '13 9. Big Black Hole 10. Lullaby

Harpsody-Contemporary Music for Two Harps

The Los Angeles-based Harpsody duo (Tomoko Sato and Kaffee Mimun) has been performing together since 2003. We explore a wide and intriguing range of harp duo repertoire from Baroque to Modern, as well as our own arrangements and compositions. This album features the original harp duo pieces by B. Andres, J-M. Damase, and Carlos Salzedo, in addition to rarely performed, yet beautifully composed pieces by L. Otten and D. Argento. Not only you will hear the rich sonority of the harps, but also the modern effects that are discovered in 20th century by experimental composers- percussive use of the instrument, tapping on the soundboard, xylophone effect, snapping and hitting strings, fingernail glissando and harmonics. Harpsody perform throughout Southern California. The past year Harpsody has been awarded a Grant from the Co-op Press Commission Assistance Grand Program for composer, Sy Brandon, a professor emeritus of music from Millersville University, Millersville, PA, to write a work for two harps. Tomoko and Kaffee would love to hear your feedback. Email us your questions and opinions!

Chasing Light

Mark Knippel: Marenje* The following note is provided by the composer: "Marenje is a traditional welcoming song of the Shona people of Zimbabwe. My composition is based solely on the opening material of the original song. The entrances of the first two guitars are exactly what would be played on the mbira [traditional African instrument consisting of a wooden soundboard with 22 to 28 metal keys] and marimba. One of the techniques of Shona music that I employed is having the same material played on two instruments offset by one eighth note. This idea permeates my composition, as it is one of the ideas of their music that I found especially striking." Marenje, begins as a whispering, euphoric murmur, as if you are walking into a bustling street market, taking in the sights, smells, and sounds. A minute into the piece, all four guitars crescendo into a fully-blossomed, gently-jiving, jovial sonic soundscape that grows in intensity, and culminates in a quasi-percussive, exuberant, upper register ostinato played by one guitar, fluttering over the other three like a liberated bird-of-paradise. Garry Eister: Chasing Light* Garry Eister writes the following note for Chasing Light: "Chasing Light uses a grab bag of techniques, including irregular meters, meant to evoke the rhythmic feel of Eastern European dances. The outer movements are in E minor. The middle movement is in E-flat minor, which, by it's 'sinking down' a half step below the movements that surround it, helps impart the feeling of isolation and stillness that it's title indicates. The final movement is meant to convey a sense of urgency, of running or driving as fast as possible toward the Western horizon in an attempt to delay the setting of the Sun." Throughout Chasing Light, a sense of combative harmony pervades. Each guitar is autonomous, yet interconnected with the others. Through coherent use of imitation, unison, accent, textural variation, and overlapping melodic lines, Eister creates a robust quartet in which each guitar is of equal importance, fighting and playing with one another in an ecstatic cloud of sound. Mark Knippel: Attained Elusiveness* Unlike Marenje, Attained Elusiveness possesses none of the effervescent giddiness that permeates the former. Instead, it features Steve Reich-like transient sonic fractals that flash and evaporate as snowflakes on a windowpane, elusive, yet, for a fleeting moment, attained. Darin Au: Chasing Dragons The most straightforward composition on the album, Chasing Dragons soars in a self-assured, flowing arc. There may be dragons, but they are observed in transit, as if from a hangglider. Punctuated by raspy rasgueados, spiky accents, and icy harmonics, an ominous nether world is hinted at, yet never entered. A great distance is traveled over a brief period of time. Christopher Gainey: Flowing Through: Rhapsody on a theme of Egberto Gismonti* Christopher Gainey shares the following note: "I have always loved [Brazilian composer Egberto Gismonti's] Agua e Vinho, and I was fascinated by how different performers used it as the basis for very individual embellishment/improvisation. In essence, Flowing Through is a set of variations on Agua e Vinho, with one exception, when the theme comes in at the end of the piece, it is placed together with material from the first variation that reconfigures the original theme into a ternary form (Agua e Vinho forming the 'A' section, while it's variation forms a 'B' theme). The notation fluctuates between precisely notated music and much more flexible, somewhat indeterminate, methods of notation that allow the ensemble some interpretive freedom." Karol Szymanowski: Mazurkas, Op. 50, Nos. 1 and 3 Arranging solo piano works for guitar quartet is, at first glance, counterintuitive. The luminescent sonority of the piano is markedly different than the brighter sound of the classical guitar. However, the two mazurkas that guitarist Patrick O'Connell selected and arranged transfer strikingly well to four guitars. The hushed dynamics (rarely exceeding mezzo-piano), combined with rich, colorful modal layering, allow opportunity for the guitars to explore hues and colors beyond the scope of the original piano. Through the use of idiomatic guitar techniques, such as artificial harmonics, and through exploitation of the guitar's broad timbral palette, new insight into Szymanowski's music is gained. Andrew York: Pacific Coast Highway Like Lotus Eaters, Andrew York's Pacific Coast Highway is melody-centered and harmonically stable. A self-confident first guitar both plays with and battles against the remaining guitar "trio." The first half of the piece is placid, daydreamy, the second half intense, excited. Evocative of the seemingly infinite Californian Pacific Coast Highway, the musical terrain is ever-changing, winding, rocking, and rolling. Andrew York: Lotus Eaters Andrew York's Lotus Eaters was written for the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet (LAGQ), and possesses the carefree charm of a late summer backyard barbecue. Through harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic constriction, it gains a spatial freedom, with evocations of Wes Montgomery, Ali Farka Touré, and Al Di Meola flickering like fireflies throughout the piece. As an added bonus, SFGQ has added two minutes of infectious improvisation to the original. Clarice Assad: Bluezilian Clarice Assad describes Bluezilian as follows: "I wrote Bluezilian for LAGQ, in 2005, as an encore piece. At the time, I had just broken a foot and was unable to walk or get out much. Feeling a bit down and constrained, I decided to work on a piece that would be light and fun, almost cartoonish-something that, in certain spots, would make me want to giggle. I purposely made the decision to use and abuse musical clichés. The piece is a musical satire that draws connections between American popular styles and Brazilian rhythmic and harmonic sensibilities. All parts, as simple as they may be, are filled with nuances to be explored, and the parts themselves communicate between one another." Bluezilian is a highly-caffeinated, animated whirlwind trip: accents kick, glissandi jolt, trills zap, and chords smack. It sounds as if a cartoon volcano was erupting in a harmonic kaleidoscope of plucks and strums. But it also sings and dances, swells and spins. Rarely has a such a short piece contained so much exuberant energy. Liner notes by Patrick Durek * Premiere recording and dedication to the San Francisco Guitar Quartet.
