The Fifteen

Evan Johnson, Loretta O'Sullivan, Eric Milnes - Biber: The Fifteen “Mystery” Sonatas & The Passacaglia for Solo Violin (1987) Music

Posted by tirexiss at Jan. 23, 2020

Heinrich Biber was a giant of the Baroque violin. Just as the electric guitar has become the instrument of "the people" during the late 20th century, so the violin was for the Baroque period. The older family of viols was a mainstay of the aristocracy, while the lighter and louder violin came to embody the voice of the people, and subsequently of the courts. Heinrich Biber was Austrian, but was inspired by the Italian style of fantastic, wild improvisatory playing, and had a lifestyle to match.

Ariadne Daskalakis, Ensemble Vintage Köln - Biber - The Rosary Sonatas (2015) Music

Posted by tirexiss at Jan. 9, 2017

Biber's 'Rosary Sonatas' for violin and basso continuo stand alone in the violin literature and in music history, offering a unique combination of programmatic material and the use of scordatura. The cycle consists of fifteen sonatas for violin and basso continuo, and a closing Passacaglia for solo violin, composed c.1687. Through the copper engravings inserted at the head of each sonata in the manuscript depicting key moments in the lives of Christ and the Virgin Mary, the music has become associated with the Catholic Mysteries of the Rosary.

The music is a companion on the way to oneself. This is the thought that our new CD is inspired from. Where the path to oneself leads is open. One thing is certain, the way leads to different "islands" - islands, understood as experiences that shape us and what makes us individuals. Dreams, love, success, hope, warmth, security, friendship, but also sadness, anger, disappointments. Be inspired and let yourself by guided by the „The Journey to the inner island“ on your journey to yourself. Let yourself be surprised by the island you will be led to. Up to the island of happiness? To the island of secrets? Or maybe to an island, you've never heard of before? Because we know that some songs are felt in different ways, we have deliberately refrained from specific titles as a travel destination. That is why the fifteen songs are simply numbered.

Golden Smog - Stay Golden, Smog (The Best Of Golden Smog - The Rykodisc Years) (2008) Music

Between 1992 and 2007, Golden Smog, the engagingly shambolic alt country stupor-group featuring members of the Jayhawks, Wilco, Soul Asylum, and Run Westy Run, cut two EPs and three full-length albums. That may not seem like much of a catalog from which to draw a "Greatest Hits" album, but Stay Golden, Smog: The Best of Golden Smog, The Rykodisc Years doesn't even dig that deep. Stay Golden, Smog gathers eight of the fourteen songs from the Smog's first full album, 1995's Down by the Old Mainstream, and eight of the fifteen tunes from the follow-up, 1998's Weird Tales. As the title would suggest, Golden Smog's two most recent efforts, released by Lost Highway Records, aren't represented here, and their debut EP, 1992's On Golden Smog – originally released on a small Minneapolis indie label and later reissued by Rykodisc – is ignored. At this writing, the entire Golden Smog catalog is in print, and all of this begs the question: what exactly is the point of this album? There's no arguing that there's plenty of fine music on this collection; Golden Smog may have started as a drunken goof among a handful of friends, but there was an undeniable chemistry between the participants, and with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Gary Louris, Dan Murphy, Marc Perlman, Kraig Johnson, and Jody Stephens on board, it's no surprise that this disc features some really fine songs played by friends who know how to make them work in the studio.

Space Echo - the secret behind the "Cosmic Sound" from Cabo Verde is finally revealed! In spring 1968, a cargo ship in the port of Baltimore opened with an important mission of musical instruments leak. His final destination was Rio de Janeiro, where the exhibition EMSE (Exposição Mundial Do Son Eletrônico) should take place. It was the first exhibition of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, and many of the leading companies in the field of electronic music participated. Rhodes, Moog, Farfisa, Hammond and Korg, just to name a few, were all eager to showcase their latest synthesizers and other devices in a growing and promising South American market, led by Brazil and Colombia. The ship wrecked eight kilometers from the coast of Cape Verde and so the instruments arrived on the island. Eight of the fifteen songs that are presented in this compilation were, with the support of the band Voz de Cabo Verde, led by Paulino Vieira, the mastermind and creator of "The Cosmic Sound of Cabo Verde", added.

Taylor Ho Bynum continues to delve into the endless possibilities of large ensemble writing on Enter the PlusTet, the debut of his newest band of the same name. Following in the footsteps of Navigation, his ambitious multi-format sextet and septet recording (Firehouse 12, 2012), this lean set finds the vanguard cornetist more than doubling the size of his working sextet on a trio of long-form compositions that circumvent the conventions of traditional song forms by way of non-linear episodic narratives.
