Sonic Dvd Audio Creator

Jon Hopkins is the creator and curator of sonic witchcraft. A musician skilled enough to create melodies that evoke images in the mind’s eye is a rare thing indeed, but to fully transport a listener’s consciousness into a dark, mystical dimension of other is nothing short of genius; borderline black magic. The audio warlock who conjures up these tangible fabrics of parallel lands brings forth his Midas touch in the score for independent low budget feature length horror Monsters. And if the film, for some, smacks somewhat of cheese, Hopkins’ soundtrack does not. Instead it draws listeners (and viewers) in as it does into an enhanced and lucid existence, opening portals into alternate worlds, stirring hearts and very souls…

Firma Melodiya presents Low Strings, the first release from the Melodiya Apriori series. For the past twenty-five years, a Russian label hasn’t released a project as uncommon and tricky as this. It is absolutely beyond the conventional notion of “chamber music recording,” neither by instrumental lineup (a viola, a cello and a double bass – it’s hardly the most advantageous of combinations that coincides lay belief), nor by selection of the music genres and styles.

The first east Indian producer to be showered with a cascade of accolades and high praise outside his home country, and then to become the guru of Hindi-pop back inside it, the singularly named Biddu worked for years in his homeland, both within the music industry (he was a member of a Rolling Stones-ish pop group) and without, before he decamped to England to seriously pursue his musical ambitions…

Three Wings is a sublime collection of 14th Century plainsong reimagined for the 21st Century with added electro-acoustic instrumentation by composer/producer David Lol Perry, and featuring the heavenly voices of the Winchester College Quiristers.

Michel Huygen is not Neuronium! In the sense that the co-founder of the Spanish cult band of EM is very able to move away from the spheres of Neuronium when he proposes an album under his name. Two entities for two very distinct approaches where his music is much more meditative and perfumed by the melodious sweetness of New Age, while that of Neuronium is more focused on a psychotronic model allied to Berlin School. Except that on “Kryptyk”, Michel Huygen transgresses with an unstoppable fingering his own borders. The music proposed on this (already) 44th opus of Huygen/Neuronium, since that Quasar 2C361 has treaded our ears in 1977, travels between phases of meditation, beautiful soft melodies to make our soul shivering and structures animated of rhythms as complex as very catchy. The arrangements, the effects of voices and guitar are amazingly realistic and transports us to a beautiful sonic collection that even seduced my beautiful Lise. The most beautiful and most accessible album that Michel Huygen has produced so far!
