Tamna Voda

The band Kladivo Konj in Voda were a mostly acoustic band featuring acid-tinged Slovenian folk-rock, active from the late seventies through 1983 in the former Yugoslavia. Guitarist Danijel Bedrac reformed the group for a few years in the late nineties, but with a completely different lineup and electric instruments. Their first recording 'Vidov Ples' is the best representation of their progressive folk sound.

Classical / Baroque / Sacred

The new Czech Ensemble Baroque CD with a selection of music grown in piarist halls in the 18th century. The Czech Ensemble Baroque discovers the works of Antonín Mashat, whose work falls into the Baroque period of the first half of the 18th century, and above all Antonín Brossmann. He also implements galaxy style and classicism in the Baroque style. The new recording confirms the enthusiasm, the esprit, a kind of "cognitive" sign of the Czech Ensemble Baroque, which has been led by its founder, conductor Roman Válek together with his wife Tereza for twenty years.

HARMONY OF DISSONANCE brings together, juxtaposes, and intertwines the disparate singing styles of the regions of Dalmatia, which remain stylistically and performatively distant even today. While these musical worlds present seemingly irreconcilable musical and cultural differences, they are all connected by polyphonic singing, which forms the core of this collaboration between the Harmonija Dissonance Ensemble and the Jazz Orchestra of the Academy of Music in Zagreb.

We are living in an increasingly foreboding world. We are told of the destruction that is forthcoming, of the misery that is already here. Environmental collapse looms clearly ahead, and yet the powers of the world are doing little to stop it. As artists, it seems that there is a degree of compromise that must be made when faced with these facts. How can we spend our time working on our art when we know and care about things that seem so much more important, so much more pressing? Is it our responsibility to incorporate these things into our work, or is healing the world someone else’s job? This album seeks to address this predicament. Rather than offering an answer, the music is an attempt to embody the issue itself. Beginning to end, it takes on forms of chaos to order, darkness to light, fear to love. Crushed is about the issue of creating art in the face of our own destruction, as well as the beauty that can grow from its ruins.
