"Some of you know Liam Singer. He has composed and recorded an album of exceptionally beautiful music, which he has posted on the internet for his friends to hear and to distribute. I honestly think this is the most beautiful pop / new classical / minimalist / new age / avant-piano record of the past year, which I recognize isn't saying much given the idiosyncratic melding of esoteric genres. But it honestly is beautiful.

I am emailing you because I thought you, of all people, would be interested in hearing this particular collection of music. Here is the link:

Feel free to distribute, though the link expires in 7 days.

Woot Woot.

working and listening, but...

3 Dogs barking outside, so loud that it went through my headphones!

3 part counterpoint.

Two tenors and a bass.

OK, stopped now.

Back to work.

Rock out to Gagaku or Black Dice

Two gestures, two realities...  One moment in which to rock out.

Black Dice

Gagaku

On another note, Neil Rolnick kicks butt.  Trying to figure out what electronic filters he used on

Economic Engine.  Hmmmm.  

Please investigate Nino Moshella and Shawn Lee.  

Specifically "Kiss the Sky"-  google it stupid.

Of course it's topical.  They're talented and trying to be adept's beyond most.

Like Schubert,   a young man with death on his mind.

Anyway,  

Own it.

Preferably on Vinyl.

Listening Friday

You can see from the photo above that we have been thinking and working and listening alot this week here in innova land. Two albums in particular have vaulted off the shelf and grabbed me by my shirt collar. I recently was turned on to Department of Eagles and their wonderfully atmospheric and introspective release
"In Ear Park". If you haven't heard it, do yourself a favor and check it out. Parts of the album sound like contemporary artsong haunted by electronic ghosts. Other sections are sprawling and ambitiously poppy. On my favorite cut, "Classical records", the singer plaintively almost drunkenly asks:

Do you listen to your classical records any more?
Or do you let them sleep in their sleeves, where they be?
Do you suffer through those records that you turned around?
Or do you make them sleep in their sleeves where they weep?

Well hmmm. Good questions. It's a moral imperative to make your classical records happy I suppose. After being challenged like that I decided to put on my favorite Classical record of late. Michael Fiday's innova release "Same Rivers Different". Fiday's been called "pure magic" by American Record Guide and this album has a bit of alchemy in it. Tight playing and interesting turns of phrase make this a rewarding listen. I particularly love the Haikus. There are 9 of them and they are wispy and delicate and basically the type of music that should never ever have to sleep or weep in a record sleeve.

A Quick Post

Ahh the Wicker Man re-release.  It's just something special, lending itself to treatments such as this
