  A year in the making, Celocity crosses the boundaries of electro, acoustic and ambient music. Many of the tracks are simply cello, multi-tracked and processed with many different software tools. Others bring in electronic backgrounds that are hauntingly beautiful.

  It was recorded in the newly converted, sea-view Fitchsounds studio overlooking the Cooley Peninsula, in the midst of the Boyne Valley in Ireland. Inspired by the ebb and flow of the sea, it also charts a journey into a new life of magic and creativity.

  Stomping rhythms, fiery reels, consoling Indian raags and funk-beat yodelling entice the listener to follow the musicians to the holy river ganges, the West coast of Ireland, over to remote villages in Bulgaria, Swedish forests and alpine pastures in Austria.

  Claudia Schwab's debut album "Amber Sands" is a compilation of music that unites the sounds of her native home-place of Austria with her adopted home of Ireland, as well as various other music traditions with which she feels at home.

  A unique and atmospheric blend of Irish, Indian, Swedish and Eastern European music styles overlaid with her native Austrian yodelling, Schwab's music reflects her passion for people, place, and their associated music.

  Breath of Life is a compilation of melodic, sometimes haunting, meditative and relaxing, solo piano compositions. Minimalist in nature, with melancholic overtones, Breath of Life summons the mind to slow down, relax, and contemplate. A blending of new age and classical, each track has structure, yet within that structure lies subtle improvisation.

  "Song for Linda" was written for a much beloved niece whose flame burned out much before its time. The inspiration to create this CD came from her.

  This album is a bit edgier than most albums classified as New Age, and the instrumentation includes piano, bass, drums, synths, violin, guitar, bansuri flute, sitar, tablas, and other hand percussion.

  Sometimes very rhythmic and sometimes more ambient, several tracks have strong Middle Eastern and Eastern European influences mixed with a variety of more Western musical styles. A blend of ethnic musical styles with a sense of urgency and mystery, "Nebula" is a thrilling musical journey through space and an exhilarating musical experience.

  "Nebula" is an exciting and eclectic collection of nine original instrumental pieces sharing the theme of deep space.

description:
  Tape is the 2010 debut electronic album by San Francisco based artist Colfax (aka. Daniel Berkman). A densely textured introspective work, saturated in analog synths, punctuated with edgy glitchy beats and samples from the artists childhood tapes and reel to reels, "Tape" is a voyeuristic peek into Colfax's nostalgic mind and a "child in a candy store" approach to his myriad vintage electronic devices and tape sources.

  Among the key elements in Colfax's work is his use of the legendary Roland Jupiter 8 and the Sequential Circuits Prophet VS synthesizers which were played by hand on this album which give it a raw and human feel. His father used these instruments in the 80's on sessions and so there is a deep connection to their sounds and their origin.

  In 2000, Berkman compiled from dozens of his childhood cassette tapes, a track of just the noisy spaces between the songs and occasionally words and random sounds which he called "The Sound of Beauty". Because these snippets weren't songs within themselves and even though they had no context, one could sense the imprint of the time and place they were recorded, as if subliminally. Berkman also found a wealth of material from a box of old reel to reel tapes that also belonged to his father. These tapes were the missing link and Colfax took it's oddly nostalgic shape. Not unlike Boards Of Canada or Freescha, Colfax transports us sonically to a time and place that exists deep within our psychological memory, hiding like a box of forgotten reel to reels, safe from the din of the world yet vulnerable to it's elements.

description:
  Johann Sebastian Bach's Goldberg Variations are one of the greatest items of the keyboard repertoire. They are often recorded, but less often played live. Their technical difficulty has been a challenge to which innumerable harpsichordists and pianists have risen. But the underlying wit and humour of this amazing work has sometimes been disguised by sheer virtuosity. Again, many have approached the Goldberg Variations in a 20th century spirit of undue reverence and solemnity, at least in the view of Colin Booth.

  Colin's recording is deeply felt, but more than most performances, also shows the good-naturedness of J. S. Bach, and presents the detailed counterpoint which is the basis of the composition, with unusual clarity. You can really hear how the music is made.

  In addition to being a personal account, this album demonstrates some of the discoveries made by Colin during the decade during which he not only worked at this piece, but was writing his in-depth study of Baroque notation: "Did Bach Really Mean That?" Both book and album emphasise often-overlooked elements in Bach's music: for example, the great man was a dancer in his spare time, and his music is imbued with dance-rhythm, another feature often left unrevealed in present-day performance.

description:
  Dietrich Buxtehude was the greatest musician in north Germany before J.S.Bach, who, being at that stage young and without many resources, took leave from his first organist post and walked for several days to stay and study with him in Lubeck. Buxtehude was justly famous as a virtuoso organist, composer, concert-organiser, and harpsichordist.

  This selection from his keyboard works show him to have been a lively, tuneful character, and Bach, who was not known for his patience, was eventually reprimanded by his employers for staying in Lubeck long after his leave of absence had expired. Buxtehude's best-known harpsichord work closes this album: the 32 variations "La Capriciosa" were undoubtedly an inspiration and challenge for Bach, who was to "cap" them with his own "Goldberg Variations.

  Late evening in Devon, England. Blackbird and thrush sing their last tribute to the dying day. In the medieval splendour of Dartington Great Hall the lights are dimmed, and the sombre but glittering tones of a harpsichord take over from the birds' calls and carry an audience into the gathering darkness.

  This album recaptures the atmosphere, and much of the music, of a memorable concert given in 1995. It presents, in a continuously linked sequence of diverse but musically related pieces, an introspective exploration of mood. Much of the music is improvisation, either actual or in style. Included are the evocative "Overture to Orpheus" written in 1981 by Louis Andriessen, and music by three members of the Couperin family: Louis, Francois, and Armand-Louis, in all covering a period of more than one hundred years.

  Most of this album consists of grounds. Some were written during the reign of the first Queen Elizabeth, around 1600, and others after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, following the English Civil War and the Protectorate. The pieces by William Croft, a devotee of Henry Purcell, are even later, and some, like those by Thomas Tomkins, who had studied with William Byrd but lived into the middle of the seventeenth century, can be said to bridge the gap between the English Renaissance and the Baroque.

  This beautiful new recording, made in 2014, is the first album recording on a newly-restored original 17th century harpsichord.

  Those who are particularly interested will enjoy the upper manual (played with the left hand here) being at 4 foot pitch (i.e. an octave higher than notated).

  Full liner notes are available with the artwork download to members.

description:
  Johann Mattheson was a highly successful German contemporary of Bach, Telemann, and Handel. Like the latter two, he lived and worked in Hamburg, one of the great north-German cultural centres, and through marriage and employment also established a strong link with England. Mattheson and Handel actually worked together in their twenties, composing, directing, and performing in the Hamburg opera-house. A famous story recounted by Mattheson concerns a duel which the two rivals fought, which almost ended in Handel's premature death.

  Johann Mattheson was a considerable composer, and we can tell that a number of his ideas were "borrowed" by Handel for his own music. Much of Mattheson's output perished in the bombing of Hamburg during World War II, but the exciting suites, here receiving their world premiere complete recording, survived, as they were published in 1714, both in Hamburg and London.

  Throughout his life Johann Sebastian Bach collected manuscript copies of music by other composers whom he admired. In some cases he arranged pieces by them for his own use, and re-arranged some of his own music for different mediums.

  This album contains some of the great versions which he produced for himself and his family to play on the harpsichord. Also included are J. S. Bach's monumental Chromatic Fantasia and Fugue (which shows the influence of other composers, and is just a fantastic piece) and Colin Booth's own arrangement for harpsichord of Bach's famous D minor Chaconne for solo violin.

  In the world of harpsichord music, Francois Couperin is probably the best-known composer. However, his uncle Louis Couperin wrote music which was far more intense and dramatic, including remarkable free preludes and stirring chaconnes.

  Colin Booth's latest album offers a varied recital of pieces by Louis Couperin, played on a wonderful original French harpsichord of 1661 - coincidentally the year of Louis Couperin's death.

  Dubbed "melodious Birde" by his contemporary John Baldwin, William Byrd was Queen Elizabeth I's favourite composer.

  This selection from his keyboard music reveals Byrd's tuneful music in its varying moods - from poignant introspection to playful virtuosity. The instruments used are those enjoyed by Elizabeth herself: the harpsichord and virginals.

  Byrd was arguably the first ever true composer for the harpsichord. This CD has been reviewed by the UK's leading expert on Byrd, as containing "great playing, gorgeous sound
  clarity and empathy are Colin Booth's forte
  the finest version on disc."

description:
  Peter Philips, one of the great musical geniuses of the age of Queen Elizabeth I, was forced into exile in Europe by a renewed situation of religious intolerance in England, following the failed Spanish Armada. Not only did he becme a famous composer throughout the continent, but his music, unlike his person, was celebrated in his home country. The major source for his keyboard works is the Fitzwilliam Virginal Book - a pioneering English anthology.

  Philips' style is more overtly emotional than that of his English contemporaries. One of the most famous and intense pieces, Pavana Doloroso, is supposed to have been composed while he languished in prison, and his setting of Caccini's song Amarylli Mia Bella, conveys a surprising degree of pathos.

  Contrasting with these are thrillingly virtuosic works, like the Galliarda Passamezzo, vividly conveying how exuberant dancing could be in the Renaissance period.

  Colin Booth's album has received enthusiastic praise from English and German reviewers. He plays a large and unusual harpsichord: a copy of an Italian 17thC instrument with two keyboards, now in the collection in Nuremberg, Germany.

description:
  The Ricercar - a form best known from a late example by Bach, is an early form of composition, which later developed into the Fugue. Beautiful, entertaining pieces for keyboard began to appear in the early 16th century, and the works on this album demonstrate this early style, but also include pieces written a century later, of a stricter contrapuntal nature, by the Italian masters Frescobaldi and his pupil Froberger. Three Italian harpsichords with different specifications are used, providing a striking variety of sound. Colin Booth has transferred the mastery amply demonstrated in his recordings of music by J. S. Bach, to this very different, earlier repertoire, played on instruments chosen to match the music.

  Domenico Scarlatti is well-known as one of the greatest, perhaps THE greatest harpsichord virtuoso who ever lived. He wrote over 550 sonatas, but only a few of these are well-known today. Essential Scarlatti offers several of these, plus some of Colin Booth's other favourites, which combine to show the varied character of the great genius. Some are soulful, others dramatic, and others again, breathtakingly virtuosic.

description:
  This pioneering publication of 1735 was dedicated to Handel and probably inspired Bach to compose the Art of Fugue. There are twelve fugues interspersed with several dance-pieces. Mattheson was a very different, attractive character. He was celebrated for his writings, compositions, and for spearheading the musical life of his city of Hamburg. These are fugues for entertainment, not for deep study or development of technique. They are fun to listen to as well as to play, and contain great varieties of mood, from jokey gaiety to soulful introspection. Colin Booth transfers his mastery of fugues by J. S. Bach, to this more playful counterpoint by one of Bach's leading contemporaries.

  Henry Purcell is perhaps England's greatest early music composer. A generation after Purcell came William Croft, whose early style shows the strong influence of his predecessors genius. Croft was wonderfully innovative in his own right, and achieved the same status in English musical life as Purcell had done. Croft lived well into the 18th century, and developed a very different style of music which was to influence Handel after he moved to live in England.

  These harpsichord suites by Croft show the huge variety of his music, even when written for a single instrument, and they demonstrate his wonderful gift for melody.

  Clavier means keyboard. In Bach's time there were many different keyboard instruments (but of course, not the modern piano), which had, until 1700, been tuned in a rich but limited way, so that only a small number of keys could be used. Bach's development as a musician coincided with a new kind of tuning: this allowed all the keys to be played, but some would sound richer, less discordant, than others. These systems were called 'well-tempered' tunings. The Equal Temperament to which pianos are tuned, irons out entirely these subtle but vivid differences of timbre and harmonic interest.

  Bach was inspired by his mentor J. C. F. Fischer, to compile a monumental set of pieces in the form of preludes and fugues, using all 24 keys, major and minor, to form what is often known as 'The Forty-Eight'. These were for his students, for their entertainment as well as for developing their skills. There is a huge variety of mood, from thrilling prestos to introspective adagios.

  Colin Booth's complete performance of this masterwork, which Bach doubled in size twenty years later with Book Two, has received copious praise, for its grace, style, and depth of understanding of the conventions of the period. The tuning system employed is one devised by Bach's favourite pupil.

  Robo/human duo Collection Get! sounds like a low-bit star fighter, crashing though a lush palate of hi-fi indie electro textures. Rare vintage synths, nintendos, old computers and an unreasonable pile of live instruments provide the backdrop for Grace Hrabi (vocals + keys) and Eliot Britton (brooding robot voice, beats, bass and synths).

  Who would have guessed that jazz vocalist + avant-garde composer = indie pop? Collection Get's debut album Save As will launch this exciting addition to the indie pop soundscape.

  The works on this classical music recording span the whole 17th century, of which the beginning marks the change from the Renaissance to the Baroque era.

  The bicinia by Michael Praetorius still witnesses the "old" style of severely ruled counterpoint (stylus antiquus), whereas the new style (stylus modernus) - based on the same rules - allows a novel kind of freedom to express the meaning of words and affects. Above the Basso continuo, consisting of a bassline and chords, the solo voice(s) unfold. In the "stylus phantasticus", to which the sonatas by Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli, Johann Heinrich Schmelzer, Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber von Bibern, Dietrich Buxtehude und Johann Michael Kuhnel belong, this is realized in an extremely free, improvisatory way.

  With our choice of instruments and temperament, and the way we handled the challenges of notation, we tried to fulfill the historical standards in order to emphasize the works' special character as much as possible. For some people gut strings may still sound unfamiliar, but the divergence from today's listening habits offers the chance to enter new musical worlds.

  The music presented here has a special connection to speech and communication: In the bicinia by Praetorius, composed both for singing and playing, two voices of equal rank have a "conversation" over a choral: They alternate, imitate each other, propagate words aforesaid, consort with each other, but also face each other with controversial statements - like two partners in a good dialogue. At a first glance it might surprise that this is possible without spoken words. Nevertheless it uses the same means: Interplay of stressed and unstressed "syllables" in a certain meter, alternating pitch of the voice, deliberate periods of rest, change of volume or pace of play. Thus the music itself becomes an autonomous language.

  In Buxtehude's trio sonata and Pandolfi's violin sonata such means of expression can be observed clearly: rests, sudden ruptures of sections, which leave the subsequent completely undetermined, opening and closing motifs and repetitions. Repetition plays a special role in the sonatas by Schmelzer and Kuhnel: The repetitive bassline forms a basic structure which gives room to the novel freedom the solo instrument enjoys. They sound like written-out improvisations. Thus the steady form allows fantasy to develop (stylus phantasticus). Also in Biber's sonata we find such improvisatory sections. They alternate with dance forms (passacaglia and gavotte). In the severe, slow introduction all voices move chromatically in half-steps. Still today this appears audacious. A specific feature of this sonata is: The highest string of the violin, normally tuned to "E" has to be tuned down a whole step to "D". (The retuning process is not part of the album).Without the aforementioned means of expression, which also constitute the base of language, the music would be a senseless sequence of tones. Only through the creation of musical gestures the tones gain some sense, an expression and meaning - otherwise they would be "meaningless" like letters failing to form a word, words failing to form a sentence.

  Each of us used these means of expression with his or her own instrument (violin, gamba or harpsichord) to create meaningful musical gestures, ultimately yielding a successful interplay in the ensemble. To this end however it is indispensable to listen to each other, to pick up on the others' expressions, to interpret, comprehend them and finally to respond to them. Only then music results in a special form of communication.

  The acoustic-rock mentality driving Caught Between Summers stays consistent through-out all of the pieces, while never leaving two songs sounding alike. For each hard-driving ballad there is an acoustic piece to compliment it. On top of the tight drum lines, smooth bass grooves, and crisp acoustic guitar are the lyrics and stories which tie it all together. Connor's 2011 sophomore album, Caught Between Summers, maintains the singer/songwriter essence displayed in his debut album, Sunblind, while progressing towards a full band sound.

  A collection of recordings, made in the Shed between 2022-2023.

  The inspiration for the album came about after a conversation with a mate in a Brewery on Hauntology.

  Using instrumentation with ties to the past, and sonics reminiscent of those from my childhood.

  So With an ever-growing collection of weird and wonderful electronics from the past I set to work.

  The players:
  * Paul Worsley: 12 and 6 string Guitars, Harmonium, Percussion, Synth, Bass, Omnichord.
  * Sonny Worsley: Mandolin.
  * Elvin Worsley:Drums
    
  The initial idea was to jam with acoustic instruments, using a Harmonium as the pad to work on top of, to get a theme going, and stick to a 3/4 time beat, to get some droning spooky waltz stuff going on.
    
  Like all good ideas though, we went off on a tangent, and electronics started to get plugged in at an early stage
    
  I also thought of just using the preset beats the type that you find on most cheap electronic keyboards from the 80's.
    
  Instruments featured:Harmonium, melodica, omnichord, Korg ms10 synth, and a load of guitar stomp boxs.
    
  Some of the tracks stayed true to the original theme though, with Modal Harmonium Drones and open-tuned acoustic guitars also a few Preset beats here and there.
    
  All the tracks were mixed onto 1/4" tape to add to the mysterious aesthetics.
    
  We had a great time recording it and just maybe you'll hear some sounds from your past within!

  I see this Album as the follow up to my first Magnatune release 'H-Bone Re issue Rock' as it sort of has a similar Surf/vintage rock feel in places.

  This Album 'Trash Guitars' is so called, as I went through a phase of buying Old 60's Japanese guitars from various places on my travels in the UK, Notably the Isle of Wight. There I came across a couple of interesting music shops that had some down on ther luck old guitars and in need of TLC.

  I have always really liked the idea of buying something that has not been played for many years, restoring it giving it a new lease life.

  Here are 10 tracks featuring them doing what they were designed to do in my mind; trashy rock'n'roll surf jams with their own unique sounds.

  This is a collection of Conway Hambone's Reggae Ska & Dub recordings from the past 20 years, finally now all in one place!

  It took a global pandemic to give me enough time, and focus, to go through various hard drives, zip disks, mini discs, and tapes to mix edit and master what I had found.

  I have always dabbled a bit playing Reggae/Ska/Dub over the course of many years, as much interested in the playing of it, as of the recording techniques involved. Always been fascinated by the sounds of Lee Scratch Perry's recordings from the Black Ark studios, King Tubby also the Trojan Label.

  Being a teenager in London in the late 70's this music along with Punk went hand in hand, with Dub/Reggae being played at clubs and gigs everywhere. Punk bands such as The Clash/The Members/Ruts etc always had versions of Reggae influenced tracks on their albums; someone was always including a Dub version of their single on a B side. I was absorbing this it all at the time, it seems.

  I sometimes get a feeling of 'imposter syndrome' when recording Reggae tracks. Also being aware of the term 'Cod Reggae' aimed at white bands years back for doing their versions (10cc dreadlock holiday) I received a comment many years ago, when playing one of my early fore's into Dub to someone, they said to me "best leave it alone mate" I think this made me more determined!

  You can hear the influences are quite obvious on a couple of these tracks, whilst others have more of a hybrid approach to the genre. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I have had recording these over the years. Releasing this album will give me closure on my 'CIS' (Cod Imposter Syndrome)

  Coming soon: 20 years of Disco. Watch out!

  This album is a Funky, cool, and groovy journey with a sense of power and emotion. This album is geared to give the audience a sense of suspense and reflection. These songs were created to give the listener a chance to internalize and reflect on inner happy emotions while enjoying the groove of the music and allow the feeling to take hold of them. While the music is powerful, the tracks are enchanting music cues to give the audience a sense of suspense and forthcoming emotional release with a sense of power and grace that is continuous as the songs build.

  These are great tracks to invoke emotions of power, triumph, overcoming obstacles, or a war cry that could lead massive troops into battle. Theses tracks are funky complete journey to invoke powerful emotions or suspense and impending doom or warfare. Great for TV/Film productions that need urban, electronic, or futuristic genres in their cues.

Fight tyranny internally through spiritual introspection, then externally through positive action, making music the driving force.

  Francois Couperin (1668- 1733) was a French composer more commonly known for his harpsichord music, despite his 55 plus years spent as a church organist.

  The Mass for the Convents is one of only two organ pieces that he wrote and was paired with another organ mass called Messe des Paroisses or The Mass for the Parishes, both dating between the years 1689 and 1690. The Mass shows Couperin's charm and poetic nature throughout, and is considered one of his great accomplishments, particularly considering his young age at the time of its creation.

  If you enjoyed the first two CrimsonFaced albums "Captain Freak" and "Lunatic Binge" you're gonna be pleasantly suprised by music on "Absurdities and Other Assorted Flavors." It includes one song recorded during the Captain Freak era - "Sex Song", and also a re-mix that's over the top. Plus six re-mixes of Captain Freak tunes that are mind-numbing. As a bonus you get "Sweet Lady Heroin" recorded for the film "40 Sundays." "Let's Go Racing," recorded for the Australian Horse Racing Association of all places. "Natural Born Zombie" was recorded for the film, "Zombie Ed." And last but not least, "Two Chords" was written during a very dark period in Mike E.T.'s life when he came close to the edge of giving it all up.

  We hope you enjoy the music. Listen from start to finish and lose yourself in the musical journey the Alien takes you on, you might never wanna leave his sonic world...

  Lunatic Binge veers from sick rock and roll to melodic musings about life. Think Trent Reznor meets the Bee Gees (after a drug binge). Think Pink Floyd for the 21st Century. Think Ozzy and a sequencer doing battle for each others' soul.

  Mike locked himself away in his "Sober Sucks Studios"--lovingly caressing his guitar strings in the most god-awful perverted way. His poor keyboard was banged and hammered from one end of the studio to the other. Between psychotherapy sessions Mike and his mixer/therapist Paul Kurzweil, wrote and recorded 18 songs, 13 of which come together on the deliciously demented and aptly titled "Lunatic Binge".

  Lunatic Binge is the second album from the hard electro-industrial-rock band CrimsonFaced. A one man army (a la Trent Reznor and NIN) Mike E.T. (a.k.a. "The Alien") plays all the instruments on this CD. Lunatic Binge veers from sick rock and roll to melodic musings about life.

  What you're hear sounds like Trent Reznor meets the Bee Gees after a drug binge. Or think Pink Floyd for the 21st Century. Or think Ozzy and a sequencer doing battle for each others' soul. Think what if you took Steve Vai, King Crimson, Frank Zappa, old Genesis, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Nirvana, Black Sabbath and Kelly Clarkson, rolled them into a joint, smoked them and then did a shot of Patron???

  You'd KINDA get "The Alien" with those concepts, but then again, nobody gets "The Alien", he's too screwed up... Uranus is a crazy place...

  With searing vocals reminiscent of Ann Wilson in Heart's early records, the album's lush sonic landscape transitions smoothly between hard-hitting guitars, ambient synths, and orchestral strings. Producer Jake Kovach lends his unique sense of texture to the music, utilizing his multi-instrumental ability to shape the dynamic intensity of the record. A compelling new blend of rock and electronica, Crystal Kovach's collection of songs represents a strong debut from this singer-songwriter.

  Exit Real Life is a new wave, dreamy production that will send the listener through an emotional sonic journey. Angelic combinations of twisting guitar chime, fluttering synthesizers and beastly rhythms are married to Goddess like vocal melodies - intense sonic sculptures for the audio palette.

  Psychic Uri Geller was quoted as saying "Lord Admiral Nelson and Napoleon Bonaparte are big fans of CURL and regularly get together to listen to their music over several tots of rum". What else is there to say?

  Chiming guitars weave around your thoughts as a river of throbbing bass takes you to the emotional dark spaces of Curl's October 2017 Album release "Shapeshifters".

  Intrigued by the contrast of Hayley Alker's powerful but curiously passive vocal delivery, you feel her opening up but always keeping something back, baring her soul while never quite losing control through harmonious layers of melody.

  The mood of this transcontinental four-piece's latest outing (French guitars and British vocals and drums from Jon's ex-Cranes and Vex) is more darkly organic than their previous Electronica meets New Wave releases. The bittersweet and unsettling edge to Alker's singing sits perfectly atop the rich warmth of the songs as they rise and fall in majestic intensity. The Gravity of the Guitars from Frank (ex-Corpus Delicti) and Wil propel you in to a sonic sculpture - noise, ambience, a brave new world.

  You will feel the hurt on this album but that is only half the story. There is a gentle euphoria too, but somehow all emotions are referenced in the past.

  There are no clear conclusions here, no resolution to the emotional shape shifting, no real end to the journey. But you will want these waves to flow through you, envelop you, carry you drifting weightlessly away.

  CURL will be performing the new album in France and UK spring 2018

description:
  The title is rather literal. I wanted with this album to create something that depicted the vast nightscapes of the West, with great spans of darkness punctuated by shapes and structures of different qualities of light. From the experience of a white highway line continually emerging from impenetrable, inky blackness with nothing else visible, to snow-capped, jagged, windswept peaks in full moonlight, to the distant sight of a brilliantly-illuminated industrial complex in the Utah desert where the stuff that sends spacecraft skyward is made, this album is about those visuals and the evocation of emotions they brought.

  The tracks for this album actually originate from the first few months of 2007, and while at the time I was simply sketching different ideas, the five tracks that started this project always had a certain evocative feel to them that set them apart. So when it came time to return to composing again many years later, I turned to these tracks first off, and using the present-day computer technology of 2018, I used a similar idea from "Sferica", where the initial tracks after being processed from shortwave audio suggested a 'score' to be elaborated upon. This time, however, the elaboration method was to use many digital techniques to draw the nature inherent in the original tracks out further, to make them "more that". So instead of looking 'outside' these pieces to arrive at a final result, I instead turned 'within' them to pull forth the sonic imagery these sights from travel suggested.

  Many people to thank: Abdullah Aziz, Al Harris, James McNeely, Ben Robinson, Aaron McCallister, Jake and Maggie Folger, Kevin Kennedy, Doreen Kamada-Fujii, Daniel "Buzz" Mass, Mike Kleppin, Mitzi Merritt, Pat Callaghan, Simon Shak, and of course Paul Defenbaugh, all of whom played pivotal parts in the interim between the original tracking sessions and the work that finally brought them to their full flower.

  Initial sessions in Rankin, IL from January-March 2007. Final computer processing and mix December 2017/January 2018, Champaign, IL. It's good to be back.

  The most cinematic of DAC Crowell's ambient works, the hauntingly beautiful, slowly permutating Sferica incorporates altered sound derived from short-wave radio transmissions and is full of sonic textures and vast auditory landscapes that give the listener an upwardly floating sensation?especially when heard on headphones. Sferica was sequenced as a complete loop, and is designed so that it can be started from any point on the album.

  Composer dammerson vaughan's intent is to create mental scenes full of motion, drama, tension and beauty. Found sounds, synthetic and acoustic instruments and digitally mangled samples create a pastiche of challenging sound to wrap around the listener. Headphone music perfectly suited to gazing from the window of a swiftly moving train.

description:
  For the follow-up to my debut album Overnight Low I wanted to do something a little less ambient and more aggressive. I recorded a ton of material over the past three years and only a small portion has made it to "the door".

  As a composer I'm compelled to vary my sounds and moods so that my music isn't easily categorized. This is both a blessing and curse. It's hard to connect with an audience when the artist keeps changing, but that's what I must do.

  The Door is a collection of tracks that reflect my growing command of digital music production and equipment. It's more diverse sonically and contains some very sophisticated sonic effects. What is "the door"? That's going to remain a mystery because it's a mystery to me as well. I suppose I like the imagery of a portal...you enter and where you end up on the other side is quite different. I'd like to think that I've landed in a different place as I created this album and I hope you find some meaning in it as well.

You will be sure to enjoy the heavy gritty guitar, hard hitting rock drums, low warm bass, and smooth vocals. In a nut shell, Damsel Down has managed to hit all aspects of styles; from smooth ballads to just songs that make you wanna get in your car and burn up the pavement. So leave the top down, put the pedal to the metal, and enjoy the ride!

  Cocktail Eleven is totally new material from the Spanish guitarist Daniel Bautista, which keeps the soul of his previous album, Weirdos And Classics, being full of original work (progressive rock/metal, alternative and experimental titles) and some classic covers (with so much wedding material!). And the package also contains some discarded pieces composed for his last band: Progside (progressive metal). This album was conceived, played, recorded and mixed in 2010 and (mainly) 2011 by Daniel Bautista in a Gentoo Linux Box (free music recorded by free software).

  This new music extravaganza called 'Ear Fatigue' (pun intended!) by the Spanish guitarist and composer Daniel Bautista brings you a new collection of tracks rooted (as usual) in the instrumental Prog Rock/Metal style that Daniel has been playing since 2002 in his solo career (and since 1993 with many bands). Not only that, but also Classical, Hard Rock, Jazz, Latin and Electronic elements can be found here; which might suggest a extreme musical crossover, but all the elements are under Daniel's very personal point of view, conforming a new instrumental-virtuoso-cocktail cohesive pack for your ears.

  This album has been recorded and mixed as always in a Gentoo Linux box (free music recorded in a free environment) in 2018. All themes composed by Daniel Bautista, except track 9 by Bach/Gounod.

  This album was made for celebrating 15 years of making music and playing the guitar. The songs can be divided in two groups: those who had been composed as ideas for Bautista's previous band (Ciruelo Cilindrico) and those who are more in the experimental and progressive way. '15' is his darkest and most experimental album. And it's also a new chance for working in a GNU/Linux home studio. Composed, recorded and mixed in March 2008 by Daniel Bautista in a Gentoo Linux box.

  Everybody knows that two is better than one. Called 'Untamed Symphonies', this album by Spanish guitarist and composer Daniel Bautista contains two symphonies: the 'Symphony No. 3 in C minor, Op. 23', which mixes Daniel's usual instrumental progressive-metal style with all of the classical elements that the title may suggest; and the 'Symphony No. 4 in D minor, Op. 24', which features a more organic progressive-rock sound but still is in the same vein as the previous one. In short, the shredding rock guitar and the classical world shake hands in these Untamed Symphonies.

  This album has been recorded and mixed in 2017, using a Gentoo Linux box and open source software (free music recorded in a free environment). All themes except track 9 (Antonín Dvorák) were composed by Daniel Bautista.

  Twenty years ago, back in 1993, Daniel Bautista picked a classical guitar and started playing. Since then, he has been playing, composing and recording with no rest. This album has been made to celebrate those twenty years, taking a look back with a modern perspective.

  Instrumental progressive metal with a crossover twist! Twenty (of course) of his most outstanding themes has been selected, re-worked, re-arranged and re-recorded for the occasion. These tracks are mostly from his solo works, but there's also material from his most important bands (Evil Inside, Hipospadia, Ciruelo Cilindrico and Progside). This album has been recorded and mixed as always in a Gentoo Linux box (free music recorded in a free environment) during the last months of 2012.

  All themes composed by Daniel Bautista, except track 7 by Beethoven.

  A wonderfully laid-back album, Calabashmoon blends Daniel Berkman's gorgeous kora playing with subtle beats and other little touches of vocals from regional performers for an overall feeling of sunny, world influenced goodness. Berkman is known for his innovations to this 21-stringed instrument, and in this collection of crafty and poignant pieces, he expertly weaves together a tapestry of sounds that gives the listener a sort of relaxed acoustic portrait of modern West Africa, from whence it comes. We especially like the two opening tracks and the excellent title track, "Mystery Box House."

  "Heartstrings" was recorded in the spring of 1997.

  I had just moved to San Francisco in 1995 and by 1996 I was in my honeymoon period with the Kora. I was 26 and living in North Beach, the perfect place for a beat poet aficionado and aspiring musician to find his voice.

  I'd only been playing kora a year but had many requests from friends and family to record a tape. I'd been a drummer, guitarist, keyboardist, composer and singer/songwriter for years and never expected my first release to be on an instrument from West Africa. But all the signs pointed toward a future in the kora.

  When I bought my first kora from my teacher; guitarist and luthier Alan Perlman, I started learning the traditional songs of the griots right away. I was already hip to the greats like Amadu Bansang Jobarte, Toumani Diabate, Tata Dindin and Alhaji Bai Konte. I listened to these guys obsessively, copied their style, learned of their culture and practiced for hours a day. I got pretty good, too. But I also attached a pickup to the bridge and plugged it in to my guitar effects to create an altogether different kind of music. Everything took off when I bought the Oberheim Echoplex and the Digitech Whammy 2 pedal. Suddenly I was creating other worlds! At the time I was also obsessed with Robert Fripp and his Soundscapes and thought I could approach that type of art form using the kora.

  I connected with producer/musician Mark Orton of the Tin Hat Trio through a mutual friend. Mark and I both went to the Hartt School of Music in Connecticut and he was interested in what I was doing with kora and electronics. He was new to the city like me so our approach to the record was very free spirited and creative. I got his Tin Hat Trio their first gig in San Francisco at a tea house called Pure Tea on Polk Street. I had a regular solo kora gig there. Everything was clicking. I had plenty of material and now an awesome recording engineer.

  My friend John Stanley took some black and white shots of me with my kora, sitting on the front steps of my Union Street flat, facing the sun, posing on my rooftop with Alcatraz in the distance. It was a love affair with the kora and with San Francisco.

  In 2008 I decided to go back to the original tapes and add more parts. Over the years I had developed as a composer and had a much more refined pallet of sounds, especially those derived from the kora. I added additional bass and percussion parts taken from knocking, plucking, rubbing and tapping the kora. Then I would pitch shift and tweak these sounds in Logic Pro to make EXS24 instruments out of them. All "Heartstrings" needed was a bit more bass and punch. Just enough to really bring the tracks to life. The finishing touch was to have it mastered by none other than David Earl, long time friend and collaborator, genius producer and logic ninja!

  There's one word that comes to mind when I think of my first ever produced record........innocence. Still, when I listen to it today, I feel that all is well. I'm very proud of this little record.

  The 6 Suites for Unaccompanied Cello (circa 1720) contain a wide emotional range and their intimacy has made them amongst Johann Sebastian Bach's most popular works today. Portions of the suites have been transcribed for a great variety of instruments. There have been several transcriptions for the standard 6-string guitar that require transposing the cello score into the higher range of the guitar. Most of the transcribers have liberally added extra bass notes and harmonies to "enhance" the comparatively sparse cello score.

  Daniel Estrem's recordings of the first three suites are in their original keys and are read from the original bass clef (normally guitar music is written in the treble clef). The extended lower range of the 8-string guitar allows the performer to play the same notes as the cello. Using this approach there is no apparent need to add any extra notes or improve on the composer's score.

  Bach Cello Suites on 8-String Guitar volume 2
  Daniel Estrem's recording of Johann Sebastian Bach's Cello Suites 6,5 and 4 are in their original keys and, as with Estrem's recording of Suites 1-3, are the same notes that would be heard on the cello. It is widely believed that Suite 6 (BWV 1012) was composed for a 5-string cello with an added treble string. The note range required in the suite is extensive and it is written in more of a free form than the others, with virtuosic and cadenza-like passages. Suite 5 (BWV 1011) reflects more of a French influence than the other suites. The Prelude is a French overture and the Courante and Gigue are in the French style, rather than the Italian form of the other suites. Bach also wrote a lute version of this suite (BWV 995) so he clearly didn't feel the music had to be loyal to one particular instrument.

  Suite 4 (BWV 1010) is technically demanding on both the cello and the guitar since E-flat is a difficult key to play in for both instruments. On this recording an alternative tuning is used which makes the suite more accessible.

  There is a marvellously transformable quality in Bach's music that has much to with his genius and certain aspects of his music sound modern as well as ancient. Musicians are able to reinvent the music using different instruments and sonorities. It's almost as if Bach stands outside of time.

  "I was obliged to be industrious. Whoever is equally industrious will succeed equally well."
  Johann Sebastian Bach

  There is some doubt in many minds regarding the last sentence. Bach's enormous output of high-quality compositions over a sustained period of time leads one to believe that he had a sense of modesty if not a sense of humor.

  J. S Bach (1685-1750) composed his set of 6 English Suites around 1715 while he was living in Weimar, where his position at the Weimar court required him to write a new cantata every week. As if this wasn't enough to keep him occupied, he wrote these suites to fulfill his desire to create new instrumental music.

  His set of 6 French Suites were composed between 1722 and 1725 and display some of Bach's most popular and accessible keyboard writing. These suites are not particularly "French" in idiom, lack preludes, and are shorter and less complex than the English Suites. Both French and English Suites were named at a later time by someone other than the composer. Like Bach's other suites, they follow a largely Italian tradition.

description:
  Johann Sebastian Bach (or J.S. Bach), (1685-1750) a prodigious talent at the keyboard was known for his formidable technique and improvisational skills. His keyboard compositions are widely varied, encompassing the entire course of his lifetime. Having never received academic training in composition, he acquired his knowledge of counterpoint and harmony by analyzing the works of others. He studied the music of notable composers of previous generations as well as his European contemporaries. The concertos of Vivaldi profoundly influenced his ideas of harmony and musical form. The first track on this recording (Allegro from Sonata #5) reveals the Vivaldi influence yet bears the indelible stamp of Bach.

  Bach's music often seems to exist beyond any particular instrument. The same piece of music can work as effectively on a piano as a guitar, as an orchestral arrangement or a choral work.

  Bach's exploration of harmony delved deeper than many composers of the time and occasionally his music contains surprising dissonance and can transition to unpredictable harmonic areas. It is interesting to note that for someone whose compositions are said to be the basis for Western music, there is no textbook written by Bach. His work stands on its own and has been the source of musical knowledge for many generations.

description:
  All of the music on this album was written for the solo violin (Partitas) or solo cello (Cello Suite #2). Johannes Sebastian Bach's compositions take these instruments to their limit by providing an impressive display of what can be done on four strings, while reflecting a sense of polyphony and harmony.

  Within the mandolin family of instruments the mandolin is the counterpart to the violin and its strings are tuned to the same pitches. It should be noted that the mandolin family's metal strings are doubled (in unison) and generally played with a plectrum. The mandola, on the other hand, has the viola as its cousin and is tuned a fifth lower than the mandolin. Its body and neck are larger than the mandolin and it has a somewhat deeper sound as compared to the treble-sounding mandolin. The mandola, although now less common, is the ancestor of the mandolin, the name of which means simply "little mandola". This recording employs a somewhat non-traditional approach, as the mandola strings were strung singly which allows for a fingerstyle technique (no plectrum).

  Johann Sebastian Bach was better known as a virtuoso organist than as a composer in his day. All of the three-part works on this album were originally written for organ and have been transposed to keys that better fit the range of the guitar.

  This recording features two of Johann Sebastian Bach's most ambitious works for solo cello and solo violin performed on a tenor ukulele.

  Cello Suite #6 is generally thought of as the most technically difficult of his six suites for cello. Written in the key of D major (B major in this ukulele transcription), it has great melodic leaps and implied harmonies mixed with subtle chords and driving rhythms. The feeling of inner peace and happiness permeate the six movements.

  Partita #2 for solo violin in D minor (B minor transcription) consists of 4 dance-like movements followed by the lengthy and marvellous ciaccona (chaconne). These days most listeners equate minor keys with sadness, but it should be noted that this association was a convention more of the later Romantic era than the Baroque. In many cases J.S. Bach used the minor key to express such qualities as human nobility and emotional depth.

  Bach experienced many things in his lifetime (1685-1750), but one thing he didn't experience was great fame. He wrote his many transcendent masterpieces in relative obscurity. One can only wonder if he had any idea of the enormous influence his work would have on musicians and listeners in future eras.

  The more I study and play the music of Johann Sebastian Bach the more I realize how incredibly adept he was at assimilating a variety of styles and somehow making it all his own. Each piece has its own unique flavor and when listening to a lot of western music written after Bach's time (regardless of genre) much of it seems to be derived from the master.

  The 8-string allowed me to preserve the intervals and keep the music true to the composer's intentions. The only way for me to maintain J.S. Bach's polyphonic lines was to multi-track 2 or 3 parts. Most of the pieces required the time-consuming task of transposing the music into guitar-compatible keys. I used an 8-string guitar made by Stephen Kakos for the lower notes and a 6-string guitar made by German Vazquez Rubio for the higher end.

  Volume 2 consists of Daniel Estrem's transcriptions of 21 pieces from Johann Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier along with 5 works from other sources. The Well-Tempered Clavier is generally regarded as one of the most influential works in the history of Western classical music. Although it was written to demonstrate a new keyboard tuning method, J. S. Bach composed a treasury of musical gems that have resonated with music lovers for generations. These new versions for classical guitar reveal a poetic and moving interpretation of the genius of Bach. There is a rich tapestry on the recording that speaks directly to the intent listener.

  Daniel Estrem's transcriptions of Johann Sebastian Bach's work begins with the brilliant Partita no. 1 (BWV 825). Many would consider this to be the most light-hearted of the six Partitas for keyboard. Underlying the playful nature of the music is a dense concentration of musical ideas and detail.

  This recording displays the ukulele's novel melodic voice and unique blend with the classical guitar. The full spectrum of sound is used with the ukulele reaching the high end while the 8-string guitar deals adeptly with the bass. The ukulele is heard on tracks 1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 31.

  Antonio Vivaldi's extensive body of concertos (over 500) spanned a period greater than three decades. L'Estro Armonico, Op. 3, (Harmonic Inspiration) is a collection of twelve concertos for 1, 2, and 4 violins (1711). It achieved instant success and exerted a widespread influence on 18th-century instrumental music. In fact, Johann Sebastian Bach was so impressed that he transcribed six of these concertos for various instruments as an expression of his indebtedness. These concertos, two of which are included on this recording (No. 2 and 8) suggest a conscious effort by Vivaldi to forge a new concerto language.

  Vivaldi's brief Concerto in G Major (Alla Rustica) with its strong allusions to folk music is well-suited to the guitar, which is particularly adept with folk melodies and rhythms.

  The Brandenburg Concertos (1721) by J. S. Bach are widely regarded as among the finest musical compositions of the Baroque era. No two of the six concertos are alike in their instrumentation. The Third Concerto included on this recording is a pure ensemble piece. Between the two rollicking outer movements lies a puzzle that has often perplexed scholars and challenged performers. This second movement labeled adagio, consists of a mere two chords. When played literally it sounds far too short to separate the pulsating and energetic first and third movements. Consequently, many performers (D. Estrem included) opt to insert an appropriate slow movement from another one of Bach's works.

  The Concerto for 2 Violins in D Minor, also known as the Double Violin Concerto is one of the more famous works by Bach. It was written around 1730 and includes one of Bach's most touching and beautiful slow movements.

  William Byrd (1540-1623) is considered one of the most famous of the early English composers. His output of some 470 compositions justifies his reputation as one of the great masters of Renaissance music. He was known for his ability to transform many of the main musical forms of the day and stamp them with his own identity.

  He wrote a variety of sacred and secular polyphony, keyboard music and consort music. Byrd's longer-than-average-Renaissance life span (83 years) meant that he lived into an age in which many of the forms of instrumental and vocal music that he made his own had become dated and no longer popular with musicians. It wasn't until the pioneering work of twentieth-century scholars that his work was allowed to achieve its rightful place in music history.

  Domenico Cimarosa (1749-1801) was an Italian composer who wrote more than eighty operas during his lifetime, as well as numerous instrumental works, both secular and religious in nature. In his time Cimarosa was both celebrated and handsomely rewarded for his works. When he replaced Salieri as kapellmeister at the court of Leopold II, for instance, the Emperor bestowed on him today's equivalent of $450,000.
  It was shortly thereafter that Cimarosa completed his most famous work, Il matrimonio segreto, a comic opera full of invention and wit. The performance in Vienna greatly pleased the Emperor after which he provided supper for the entire cast and asked them to perform the opera again that same evening. Leopold II also gave the composer what would now be about $75,000.
  The transcriptions for guitar on this recording are from his 88 one-movement sonatas for keyboard.

description:
  The Classical period in Western music is generally accepted as being somewhere between 1730 and 1820, with a style that emphasizes light elegance in place of the Baroque's dignified seriousness and grandeur. The music is mainly uncomplicated and intended to be performed with minimal rehearsal time. Mozart writes about "the rehearsal", with the implication that his concerts would only have one.

  Two outstanding composers of the late eighteenth century are Franz Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791). They not only wrote in the same idiom, but became personal friends, and each admired and was influenced by the music of the other.

  Mozart is represented on this recording with the well-known serenade "Eine kleine Nachtmusik" originally written for small string orchestra. Haydn's "Baryton Trios" were composed for a now-extinct instrument playing the lead part. The baryton, a somewhat complicated instrument similar to a large viola da gamba was equipped with an extra set of resonating metal strings for plucking in addition to the main bowed strings. Haydn wrote nearly 200 pieces for the baryton, mostly in trio combination with viola and cello. James Hook (1746-1827) was a lesser-known English composer. His trio performed on this recording is originally for three flutes. The tenor ukulele is the lead instrument on all of the tracks on this album.

  This recording features a number of pieces by Adrian Le Roy and Alonso Mudarra written for the Renaissance guitar which date to around 1550 as well as transcriptions of Renaissance lute pieces mixed with Baroque and Romantic works.

  The seven Telemann ukulele duets are from his Canonic Sonatas (for two recorders or two violins). The melody in these duets is played by the first instrument and then exactly repeated by the second instrument after a selected interval of time.

  The ukulele is a miniature member of the guitar family that was brought to Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants in the latter half of the 19th century. It was based on the design of the machete, a four-stringed instrument from the island of Madeira (also noted for its wine).

  In Hawaii and elsewhere the ukulele has traditionally held the role of an accompaniment instrument, strumming simple repetitive chords. But there is documentation that the ancestor of the ukulele was also used to play complex classical instrumental music. Some scholars believe the machete was a descendant of the small Renaissance guitar, which had four double-strings (courses) tuned similarly to the machete and ukulele.

  The Bach Suites for Unaccompanied Cello are some of the best known works for cello and have been arranged for many instruments. The musical language is consistently that of Johann Sebastian Bach and is not so much cello music as it is Bach written on the cello. These transcriptions of Suites 1 and 3 demonstrate that the essence of the music is preserved while being conveyed by a mainly treble instrument such as the ukulele.

  The sonatas by Jean?Baptiste Loeillet de Gant and Georg Philip Telemann as well as the piece by Robert Carr were originally written for alto recorder. The range of the alto recorder is almost identical to that of the tenor ukulele (using a low G tuning) which allows the music to sound quite natural on ukulele.

  The two musettes of Francois Couperin are of a rustic nature making use of low drones throughout. The pieces were written in imitation of the hurdy gurdy, a popular instrument during the Renaissance. The hurdy gurdy with its multiple drone strings gives a constant pitch accompaniment to the melody, providing a sound similar to that of bagpipes.

  This collage album is comprised of several musical styles: The Baroque period represented by Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757), the Classical period by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), and the Romantic period by Frederick Chopin (1810-1849). The least known composer on this recording, Ernesto Nazareth (1863-1934), was a Brazilian pianist and composer especially noted for his creative tango and choro compositions. Nazareth (pronounced: nah-zah-ray) skillfully combined diverse influences into his music, not only from Brazil but also from North America (ragtime), Europe, and Africa. His music remains popular in South America and is enjoying increased global exposure in the 21st century.

  On this recording Daniel Estrem performs on 6 and 8- string guitars and tenor ukulele.

  Claude Debussy (1862-1918), one of the most important of all French composers was a major figure in European music at the beginning of the 1900's. His music defines the transition from late-Romantic music to 20th century modernist music. There exists a sensuous quality to his music and it is noted how his compositions often avoid being formed around one key or pitch. His harmonies, abrupt modulations and use of unusual scales (whole-tone and pentatonic) were considered radical in his day, but today sound quite normal as he influenced almost every major composer of the 20th century.

  Debussy was a gifted pianist and an outstanding sight-reader, but his true passion was for composition. He frequently challenged the rigid teaching of the Paris Conservatoire and favored dissonances and intervals that were frowned upon at the time. One of his famous quotes is, "Some people wish above all to conform to the rules, I wish only to render what I can hear. There is no theory. You have only to listen. Pleasure is the law." Another is, "Works of art make rules; rules do not make works of art."

  The pieces on this recording are Daniel Estrem's transcriptions of a sampling of Debussy's piano works. The majority of the music consists of three suites; Suite Bergamasque (1890), Children's Corner (1908) and Petite Suite (1889).

  John Dowland (1563-1626), an English Renaissance composer, singer and lutenist was the period's most renowned and significant composer of lute solos, lute songs (voice and lute) and consort music. His popularity and recognition during his lifetime appear to be at odds with how he perceived himself. Perhaps he had a realistic view of his place in the panorama of history. His melancholic lyrics and music have often been described as his creation of an "artistic persona", for he was actually known to be a mostly cheerful person.

  Dowland composed some 90 works for solo lute, many of which are dance forms. Melancholy does not dominate this album of Dowland's lute music played on 8-string guitar. The works, instead reflect a variety of moods and settings. It is said that Dowland was musically influenced by his numerous travels to the continent and there are instances in his music that sound like glimpses of the future. In the last 40 seconds of the final track on this album ("A Fancy") one can hear the tremelo of Francisco Tarrega's famous guitar piece "Recuerdos de la Alhambra" followed by a pattern similar to the one used by Isaac Albeniz in his celebrated "Leyenda" (Asturias). Both of these Spanish classics were written about 300 years after Dowland.

  The Estrem and Holmquist guitar duo (active from 1971-1988) performs a program of Estrem's transcriptions of 11 Lyric Pieces and the Holberg Suite by Edvard Grieg. The music was originally for piano, and transfers successfully to the medium of guitar duets. Grieg created a world of intimacy and lyricism that is well represented on the classic guitar. The instrument has the ability to project colors and shadings not possible on the keyboard. Also, most of the brief motifs used in the Lyric Pieces are taken from Scandinavian folk music, and the guitar has its own special charm with folk rhythms and melodies.

  This album was recorded in an acoustically-live stone church in 1980, released on vinyl but was never re-released as a CD. The master tape was lost, but now 30 years later, with the advances in digital restoration of vinyl albums, this gem of a recording is reborn.

  "This music speaks to the heart, and the rapport and sensitivity of the performers recalls the eminent duo of Presti and Lagoya."

description:
  "Estrem plays Lawson" presents music written by Jeremiah Lawson (b. 1974), a Seattle-based guitarist/composer. The unifying thread for all the works is experimentation with ways to synthesize the vocabulary of American popular and folk styles into the forms and developmental concepts of the Baroque and Classic era.

  The five "Zombie-Sonata Rags" have Lawson using his favorite themes from early 19th century European guitar sonatas, and imagining these sonatas emerged from some swamp in America a century later as ragtime duets, zombies of what they were in a bygone era. Koholeth Rag, an earlier original by Lawson, is unusual for being written in a minor key and using imitative procedures more typical of a Baroque fugue.

  The "Sonata for guitar and ukulele" is a new work that may be appreciated by lovers of the diminutive, often under-rated instrument. The lively first and third movements, while technically challenging for the ukulele, make good use of the instrument's ability to produce spicy chords and note-clusters. The classical form of the sonata has a tendency to hide just how many blues and jazz riffs and chords are serving as the foundation. The contrasting middle movement "Jury Duty" slowly reveals an appropriately pensive fugue.

  The Prelude and Fugue in F minor represents a fraction of a cycle of 24 Preludes and Fugues for both solo guitar and guitar duet.

  The "Guitar Sonata #2 in C major" opens with a sonata Allegro whose first theme is literally a 12-bar blues. The Maestoso offers a slower, lovely-sounding lullaby. The "Guitar Sonata in G major", performed on 8-string classical guitar, uses open G tuning. The first movement "Hobo Spider Blues" opens with a slide blues variation-form inspired by Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker, while the second movement "Ragged and Sor(e)" changes to a solo rag influenced by music of Fernando Sor. The third movement "Ricardo de Yakima" returns to the slide guitar with a laid-back country blues feel.

description:
  Composed in 1723, The Four Seasons stands out as a jewel among Antonio Vivaldi's works and is one of the most popular pieces of Baroque music ever written. Each concerto's individual texture and color conjures up images and emotions of its respective season. Vivaldi's Allegros, with their distinctive rhythmic drive and dazzling virtuosic passages offer a dramatic contrast to the hauntingly beautiful melodies of the slow (Adagio and Largo) middle sections.

  Vivaldi's musical descriptions of different scenes from the seasons are vivid and numerous. A few of the more obvious are the bird calls, the murmuring brook, and the brief stormy weather on track 1 (Spring). The prolonged "take cover" storm occurs on track 6 (Summer). A rather primitive peasant dance takes place on track 7 (Autumn) where the country-folk as well as the musicians may have had a bit too much wine during the harvest celebration. Track 8 (Autumn) depicts the hunt with galloping rhythms followed by the sound of the hunting horns (played on bouzouki). The hunted beast runs by in triplets and guns are fired which cause the unfortunate's demise. Track 10 and 12 (Winter) imitate the shivering and teeth-chattering features of the great outdoors, whereas the lovely Largo (Track 11) lets us feel how nice it can be to stay indoors by the fire when the winds are howling outside.

  Baroque composers were constantly reusing their own music and adapting it for different instruments and purposes. It should be noted that the Baroque era was home to a multitude of plucked-string instruments. Daniel Estrem's instrumentation of 6 and 8-string classical guitars, steel-string acoustic guitar, ukulele, and bouzouki is unconventional and offers the listener an experience of hearing a timeless classic in a whole new setting.

description:
  George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) is regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era. Born into a family that was indifferent to music; his early talent was so pronounced that his father grudgingly allowed him to receive training in his native Germany. His studies took him to Italy as well, before settling in London (1712) where he became a naturalized British subject in 1727. Although Handel is primarily known for his larger creations (operas, oratorios, motets, passions, cantatas) his smaller scale works are greatly admired and often performed by instrumentalists.

  Handel and J. S. Bach were both German-born in 1685 and comparisons are difficult to avoid. Bach's work lay in comparative obscurity for half a century, whereas Handel was internationally renowned in his lifetime. One of the curious ironies of music history is that both men would be afflicted with debilitating cataracts in their later years and undergo surgery at the hand of the same oculist, John Taylor. This surgery by today's standards was extremely crude resulting in very little visual improvement, and of course, there was no anesthesia or sterile-technique at that time. Unfortunately, Bach died as a result of bacterial contamination from the procedure at age 65. Handel lived to age 74.

  Throughout his life Handel avoided the rigorous contrapuntal techniques of Bach and achieved his effects through the simplest of means, trusting always his own innate musicianship. Both composers often practiced a kind of musical "recycling" where they would take a work composed for one medium and recast it for another. It would not have been uncommon in Handel's day to hear a recorder concerto played as an organ sonata. Such interchangeability was possible in the more abstract instrumental sound of the Baroque. It remained for later composers to create music whose effect depended mainly on the sound of specific instruments.

description:
  George Frideric Handel (1685-1759) is regarded as one of the greatest composers of the Baroque era. Born into a family that was indifferent to music; his early talent was so pronounced that his father grudgingly allowed him to receive training in his native Germany. His studies took him to Italy as well, before settling in London (1712) where he became a naturalized British subject in 1727. Although Handel is primarily known for his larger creations (operas, oratorios, motets, passions, cantatas) his smaller scale works are greatly admired and often performed by instrumentalists.

  Handel and J. S. Bach were both German-born in 1685 and comparisons are difficult to avoid. Bach's work lay in comparative obscurity for half a century, whereas Handel was internationally renowned in his lifetime. One of the curious ironies of music history is that both men would be afflicted with debilitating cataracts in their later years and undergo surgery at the hand of the same oculist, John Taylor. This surgery by today's standards was extremely crude resulting in very little visual improvement, and of course, there was no anesthesia or sterile-technique at that time. Unfortunately, Bach died as a result of bacterial contamination from the procedure at age 65. Handel lived to age 74.

  Throughout his life Handel avoided the rigorous contrapuntal techniques of Bach and achieved his effects through the simplest of means, trusting always his own innate musicianship. Both composers often practiced a kind of musical "recycling" where they would take a work composed for one medium and recast it for another. It would not have been uncommon in Handel's day to hear a recorder concerto played as an organ sonata. Such interchangeability was possible in the more abstract instrumental sound of the Baroque. It remained for later composers to create music whose effect depended mainly on the sound of specific instruments.

description:
  Joseph Haydn (1732-1809) was an Austrian born composer who spent his life as a court musician somewhat secluded from the rest of the musical world. He was named Kapellmeister at the palace of the influential Esterhazy family in 1761, a position that would support him financially for nearly 30 years. Despite his isolation he was one of the most celebrated composers of his time and the seclusion, as he put it, "forced him to become original."

  Much of Haydn's composition at the time followed the specific musical interest of his patron Prince Nikolaus Esterhazy. The Prince, around 1765 obtained and learned to play the baryton, an unusual instrument similar to the bass viol but with a set of plucked sympathetic strings. The instrument on the cover of this recording is the Prince's baryton. Haydn was required to provide new music for the Prince to play, and over the next ten years produced about 200 works for this instrument in various ensembles, of which the most notable are the 126 baryton trios, written for baryton, viola and cello. The Londoner Trio No. 1 was originally written for 2 flutes and cello. All transcriptions for guitar by Anton Hoeger (Germany).

  The 24 preludes and fugues recorded by Daniel in volumes 1 and 2 do not have a fixed, prescribed order beyond a prelude in one key being followed by its fugue in the same key. The track listings are, accordingly, neither in a "Bach" nor a "Chopin" order. We live in the era of the playlist and the mp3 so I think that performers and album listeners alike can decide what order this cycle will have even if there are fixed track numbers on the albums at the time of purchase.

  As an American and a guitarist I can't imagine composing a set of preludes and fugues without a grateful consideration of blues, ragtime and other popular styles. Overtly and obliquely these styles permeate the cycle alongside more obviously traditional European elements. I believe the music of Scott Joplin, Robert Johnson, Duke Ellington, and Thelonius Monk is as indissolubly part of the Western musical heritage as Bach, Haydn, William Byrd or Stravinsky. There is no "opposition" between twelve-bar blues and contrapuntal processes for me.

  And if the history of American music is full of blues, it's also full of Gospel (and other styles). Alert listeners will note the variety of traditional Christian hymns woven into the cycle. My aim was to make a cycle that reflected upon the span of polyphonic music up to even its more "modernist" forms, yet remains traditionalist enough that a majority of the music could still potentially be played in liturgical contexts. I've played some of these preludes and fugues in church services. Just as the cycle was not composed with any duality in academic and popular music in mind, neither was it composed to be construed in strictly "concert" or "church" music terms.

description:
  This album consists of three of the Suites for Unaccompanied Cello by Johann Sebastian Bach performed on the mandola, which is tuned an octave higher than the cello and played with the fingers rather than a bow. Albert Schweitzer made the famous statement that Bach often appears to be writing for some theoretical "universal" instrument rather than a specific instrument.

  Mystery surrounds the cello suites. Unlike J. S. Bach's solo violin works, no original manuscript has been found although copies exist. As a result, many interpretations of the cello suites have been made with no sole accepted version. The cello suites are thought to be written around 1720, about the same time as the solo violin Sonatas and Partitas. The original violin solos were found not in Bach's native Saxony, but in Petersburg, Russia some 90 years after his death. They were almost used as cheap secondhand wrapping paper in a butcher shop. Fortunately an astute customer decided to investigate the origin of the manuscript. It has been posited that perhaps the next customer didn't consider what was given to him as wrapping paper and used the original cellos suites as a fire-starter in his hearth.

  Fernando Sor (1778-1839) was one of the most prolific composers for and promoters of the guitar as a concert instrument. He paved the way for other artists who helped to bring about the immense popularity and respect that the instrument enjoys today.
  Sor was a performer of the highest caliber and technical ability who concertized in his native Spain as well as throughout Europe. It is said that everywhere he went the guitar's popularity spread like wildfire.
  Sor is best know for his guitar compositions but he also wrote for opera, orchestra, string quartet, voice, ballet, and piano. This recording includes some of the better-known guitar pieces as well as 12 recent transcriptions by Byron Fogo of Sor's piano "salon pieces" intended for smaller, intimate settings.

  Jeremiah Lawson writes:

  "Contrapuntal cycles for the guitar (whether solo or duet) are rare but not unheard of. Castelnuovo-Tedesco wrote 24 preludes and fugues for guitar duet in the 1960s. Igor Rekhin composed a solo cycle in the later 1980s. Paradoxically it seems only in the 21st century that we've had guitarists taking up the challenge of writing polyphonic cycles but better late than never.

  We guitarists too often assume that B flat minor is too unwieldy a key to write in and not worth the struggle. In a post-tonal century why bother writing fugues for guitar in keys like C minor and D flat major? Because it's fun! I drew inspiration from composers ranging across the Western tradition such as Byrd, Bach, Handel, Haydn, Beethoven, Bartok, Hindemith, Shostakovich, Messiaen and Ellington."

description:
  Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is one of the dominating figures of French music. His estate currently earns more royalties than that of any other French composer. He was born in the Basque region of France close to the border with Spain. His mother was of Basque descent and grew up in Madrid, Spain, while his father was a Swiss inventor and industrialist. Spanish elements are frequently present in Ravel's work and it's said that he was fascinated with everything Spanish. On this recording the Habanera (track 2) and the Chanson Espagnole (track 16) are clear examples of this influence.

  Ravel's composing style was innovative and took a different direction than the atonality that attracted many of his contemporaries. Instead, he used modal melodies and applied the aesthetics of the French school of Satie, Chabrier and Debussy. He revered JS Bach throughout his life and placed a high importance on melody, stating that there is "an implied melodic outline in all vital music". His composing method was craftsman-like and perfectionistic. The intricacy and precision of his work was summed up by Igor Stravinsky who once referred to Ravel as "the most perfect of Swiss watchmakers."

  On this recording Daniel Estrem performs his own transcriptions which are aimed at being as true to the written score as possible. The classical ukulele is used on sections of Pavane pour une infante defunte (Pavane for a Dead Princess -track 4). When heard on plucked instruments the piece has an ancient aura, as if played on the Greek lyre and harp. The ukulele is also used throughout Ma Mere l'Oye (Mother Goose Suite -tracks 6-10). The childlike voice and timbre of the ukulele could hardly be more appropriate for this set of pieces that portray scenes from fairy tales. At the same time Ravel was writing the innocent Mother Goose Suite he was working on the devilishly difficult Gaspard de la nuit (Demons of the Night). The middle movement, Le Gibet (The Gallows -track 11) reveals a darker side of Ravel and decidedly deals with some end-of-life issues. There is the relentless toll of the bell throughout the entire piece. The influence of the writings of Edgar Allan Poe can be felt and even though the scene is macabre there exists a haunting beauty.

description:
  Anton Reicha (1770-1836) was a Bohemian-born composer whose music covered a vast array of genres and forms, from opera and string quartets to piano etudes and fugues. He is perhaps best known today for his 25 wind quintets. As an accomplished music theorist he wrote several treatises on various aspects of composition. Some of his theoretical work dealt with experimental methods of composition. He was ahead of his time, advocating the ideas of polyrhythm, polytonality and microtonal music. Virtually none of these concepts were accepted or employed by his contemporaries.

  Reicha's 36 Fugues for Piano, published in 1803 was conceived as an illustration of his new system for composing fugues. Without delving into the theory of fugues, it can be said that Reicha's widening of the possibilities of fugal composition created a freer, more flexible musical form. Naturally some of his contemporaries didn't approve of his stretching the traditional boundaries, but today these pieces sound wonderfully musical.

  Much of Reicha's music remained unpublished and unperformed during his life and nearly all of it fell into obscurity following his death. This is explained in part by his own decisions, which he reflected on in his autobiography: "Many of my works have never been heard because of my aversion to seeking performances. I counted the time spent in such efforts as lost, and preferred to remain at my desk." Reicha's life and work has yet to be intensely studied to this day.

  This collection is a well-conceived recording of guitar artistry. Daniel Estrem performs his new arrangements for classical guitar that draw in the listener with his tonal variety and understated technique. The elegant interpretations breathe a unique vitality into these evocative masterworks.

  The selected music takes the listener on a dreamlike journey of introspection and imparts a sense of tranquility. The contemplative pieces, mostly written for keyboard, retain their idiomatic flavor and musical integrity when performed on classical guitar. The charming voice of the classical ukulele can be heard on two of the thirty selections.

description:
  Classical guitarists have been attracted to Scarlatti's sonatas because many of them are idiomatic and sound natural on plucked instruments. It should be noted that the sonority of the plucked string is the natural home of the Baroque sound. Lutes, harpsichords, theorbos, spinets, Baroque guitars and harps all generate sound like the classical guitar and ukulele of today.

  Domenico Scarlatti (1685-1757) lived the first half of his life in Naples, Italy and moved to the Iberian Peninsula in 1720, where he remained until his death. His first appointment was at the Royal court in Lisbon, Portugal. A decade later he moved to Madrid and took a position at the Royal Spanish court and it was here that the majority of his 550 harpsichord sonatas were written and where his artistic personality began to flourish. Using his imagination, he tested the limits and possibilities of the harpsichord resulting in compositions that surpassed his contemporaries in their originality and experimentation. His expansion of keyboard technique and virtuosity have more in common with keyboard music written a century after his death. Chronologically, he is classified as a Baroque composer, although his music was influential in the development of the Classical style.

  Scarlatti's encounter with the Spanish culture had a profound effect on his compositions. The influence of folk music, the use of modes and other tonal inflections were more or less alien to European art music of the era. Many of his chord patterns and dissonances are suggestive of the guitar. The eminent harpsichordist and musicologist Ralph Kirkpatrick said, "As far as we know, Scarlatti never played the guitar, but surely no composer ever fell more deeply under its spell."

description:
  Many of the instrumental works of Johann Sebastian Bach have the magical ability to be performed on a number of different instruments in addition to the ones they were composed for. The sonatas heard on this recording are from the Sonatas and Partitas for Unaccompanied Violin. The instrument used is a tenor ukulele with an unconventional tuning that has the same intervals as the violin (fifths).

  Bach wrote these works around 1720 while he was Kapellmeister at the court of Anhalt- Cothen and with this collection firmly established the technical capability of the violin as a solo instrument. It is speculated that Bach himself gave the first performance. According to his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach (C.P.E. Bach), "in his youth, and until the approach of old age, he played the violin cleanly and powerfully." It was during this period that he also composed the Brandenburg Concerti, the Well-Tempered Clavier and the Six Cello Suites.

  The Sonatas and Partitas were first published in 1843, nine decades after the composer's death. The original manuscript was famously saved after nearly being used as butcher paper.

  The red and yellow "Colors of Spain" are said to be descriptive of the Spanish personality. Red identifies passion, blood and love while yellow indicates the warm spanish sun. On this recording Daniel Estrem gives a fluid and precise interpretation of spanish classics with the majority of the works by Isaac Albeniz. One can easily conjure up the sights, fragrances and sounds of Spain when hearing this music. It is highly expressive and gorgeously sensuous. Albeniz himself said of his music that "It contains sunlight, warmth and the taste of olives."

description:
  Manuel de Falla, Enrique Granados and Isaac Albeniz are among the most important proponents of the modern Spanish school of composition founded by Felipe Pedrell. Each of these composers used the folklore of his country in his own unique manner. Most of the attention on this recording centers on de Falla and Granados, while Estrem's first Colors of Spain album consists mainly of works by Albeniz.

  De Falla's El Amor Brujo (Love, the Magician) was initially commissioned in 1914-15 as a gitaneria (gypsy piece) by a flamenco gypsy dancer and reflects the composer's skillful use of flamenco elements in shaping this highly original suite. It was later re-scored as a symphonic suite and eventually became a one-act ballet.

  Enrique Granados was thoroughly imbued with romantic culture and continued composing in the manner of Chopin and Schumann. He was an exquisite colourist and gave his works a poetic view of a refined 18th century Spanish culture. His Valses Poeticos reveals the expressive nature of his compositions and his thorough mastery of the waltz form.

description:
  German Baroque composer, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) was one of the most prolific composers of his time with a body of work comprised of more than 3,000 pieces. He lived a relatively long life extending into the early Classical Period, and despite declining health in his later years, he continued to compose music of the highest quality until the evening of his death. His personal assets in addition to a passion for music included his likable personality and sense of humor. He became quite wealthy from his commercial efforts of publishing and selling his works and his salaried income at Hamburg was about three times what J. S. Bach earned at Leipzig.

  Telemann's music was one of the driving forces behind the late Baroque and early Classical styles. His music gradually changed over the years incorporating more and more elements of the galant style, however he never completely adopted the ideals of the early Classical Period. Telemann's style remained contrapuntally and harmonically intricate, and already in 1751 he dismissed much contemporary music as too simplistic.

  This album consists of solos, duets and trios from a variety of works by Telemann.

description:
  Antonio Vivaldi's (1678-1741) distinctive style was characterized by the ability to shape his harmonic sequences and expressive melodies with infinite variety. His three-part (fast-slow fast) concertos are known for their vitality, color, quick rhythms and syncopation in the fast (allegro) movements, separated by a slow (largo) lyrical movement.

  Vivaldi infused his concertos (over 500) with constant variation and a certain amount of unpredictability. Even though many of his works sound naturally symmetrical, he often plays with phrase lengths and frequently confounds our expectations. The celebrated wisecrack that Vivaldi wrote the same concerto hundreds of times (attributed to Dallapiccola and repeated by Stravinsky) is humorous, but few people find it believable today. The idea is true only in the most superficial sense and ignores the considerable invention of his work.

  Blank River is the third instrumental solo album from Daniel Knowler (The Infinite Three, Leisure Hive, Slunq).

  Blank River ranges from cinematic textures and post-rock crescendos to plaintive acoustic finger picking. Taking cues from folk, blues, pop and film soundtracks, this music takes a more melodic turn than most of Daniel's previous work.

  Hidden within the organic orchestration, however, are ciphers more in keeping with Daniel's background in experimental music: field recordings, subtle electronic drones and electronic treatments follow the melodies around like grey shadows.

  The fourth instrumental solo album from Daniel Knowler (The Infinite Three, Cindytalk, Sweetie, Leisur Hive). Hypersurface sees Daniel begin to incorporate sonic textures from some of his noisier projects into his finely woven instrumental music. Whereas previous solo recordings emphasized warmth and clarity, Hypersurface filters its emotional and melodic content through veils of subtle noise and disintegration.

  Eleven instrumental songs ranging from organic compositions for acoustic guitar and cello, ambient soundtrack pieces and grandiose post-rock arrangements. Drawing on influences from folk, blues and avant-garde music Silvery Beast is a haunted sonic narrative.

  Silvery Beast is Daniel Knowler's second solo album of intricate, obsessively orchestrated instrumental music and follows on from 2011's Our Wet Geometry. Silvery Beast continues in a slightly darker vein, however, with more prominent signs of the experimental sonics of Daniel's work with The Infinite Three.

  In the mid 17th century, France was the center of excellence for lutenists who. After much experimentation, they settled on the "d minor" tuning system on an instrument with 11 sets of single and double strings ("courses") tuned f' d' a' f d a g f e d c. Once the "Sun King" turned his attention to the previously low brow guitar and elevated it to royal status, the lute fell out of favor. Performers spread throughout western Europe into the mostly German speaking countries and began to fuse the contemplative cerebral "broken" style of the French lutenists with more Italian influences that emphasized melody (Cantabile) and counterpoint while retaining the popular French dance music forms. In the later German baroque, two additional bass courses were added (b and a) and the music increased in harmonic complexity.

  The program on this album is an exploration of this rich and underappreciated repertoire, performed on both 11 course and the later 13 course baroque lute. The 11 course music retains much French influence with separated chords and simple harmonies but introduces more melodic components. The 13 course music introduces the singing cantabile style leading to the complex harmonies and grandeur of Sylvius Leopold Weiss and Johann Sebastian Bach. Finally, a modern composition by Roman Turovsky shows that the "German" baroque lute has not sung its last new songs.

  The lute was a popular instrument for both professionals and amateurs in England and Europe from the 16th to 18th centuries. Professional lutenists required the patronage of the Court to make a living and indeed many of their students amongst the nobility became quite decent performers and composers in their own right. As an "amateur with a day job" myself, I want to pay homage to those whose love of music was expressed both through their compositions and their patronage of the full time professionals.

  The album opens with a Plainte by the great baroque lute composer Sylvius Leopold Weiss. This is not a plainte of love, but rather a complaint to an un-named patron who failed to pay his fee! There are two versions of this piece, one each in the London and Dresden manuscripts. I have tried to use the best features of both.

  A Patron who did support Weiss was Prince Hyacinth de Lobkowitz (1680-1734), in fact Weiss dedicated one of his Dresden lute sonatas to the Prince. Lobkowitz was regarded as a fine performer and two of his lute suites survive. The suite in Bb major performed here is tuneful, rhythmic and shows an advanced mastery of technique. It is found in the Vienna 1078 manuscript.

  Much less is known about Count Ferdinand Graf von Bergen (1678-1766), although fully five suites of his have survived in three manuscripts. While his music is charming the lute tablature can be awkward to play as written and does benefit from some re-working. His suite in A minor, also from the Vienna 1078 manuscript, contains the rarely used Tournee, a dance in 2/4 time.

  Johann Anton Logy (1650-1721) (also spelled Losy) was a Count in Prague and composed for both baroque lute and baroque guitar. He is perhaps best known for a piece written in his honor by Sylvius Weiss following Logy's death (Tombeau sur la mort de Monseigneur Comte de Logi). The solo works performed here are from the Swedish Kalmar manuscript. The four surviving duet movements (in A minor and F major) do fit together well to make their own suite. The chaconnes movement is an amalgamation of two chaconnes, the first in D minor and the second in F major. This pairing was performed this way by the lutenist Toyohiko Satoh during a recital at the Lute Society of America's Summer Seminar and I feel that it works quite well.

  The British physician Thomas Campion (1567-1620) was a poet and composer and wrote over 100 lute songs that survive today. Unusual for the period, some are written from the woman's point of view and we include three such examples here.

  Finally, to close the loop of Patronage, the album ends with a new piece that I commissioned from the modern day lutenist and composer Ronn McFarlane. Ronn is a prolific performer, founding member of the Baltimore Consort and his album of his own compositions, Indigo Road, was nominated for a Grammy. The Passacaglia he wrote for this album is, I believe, one of his most beautiful compositions and it's my honor to present the world premier.

description:
  Sylvius Leopold Weiss (1687-1750) was arguably the greatest composer for the baroque lute and certainly one of the most prolific. His compositions exist in handwritten manuscripts, often incomplete and mixed in with pieces by other composers. This album focuses on these pieces of uncertain parentage and includes reconstructions of duets by modern composers writing in the idiom of Weiss.

  The album opens with a suite of pieces for lute that are attributed in at least one manuscript to Weiss but are almost certainly by another composer. These pieces, written in gallant style, are likely by Wolff Jakob Lauffensteiner (1676-1754), Johann Georg Weichenberger (1676-1740), Placide Marie Pichler (1725-1796) and Johann Andreas Bohr von Bohrenfels (1663-1728). The Weiss evidence is softest for 2 pieces: the chaconne by Weichenberger only has a "W" as the composer and the Gigue from the Strasbourg Ms is anonymous. Pat O'Brien said it might be by Weiss, and that's good enough for me!

  JS Bach and Weiss knew each other and by account even competed in improvising fantasias and fugues. Few violinists are aware however that the harpsichord accompaniment of Bach's sonata for violin BWV 1025 is actually an intact complete Weiss lute sonata which is a fine standalone composition. In this recording, we present 3 of the interior movements.

  Several existing Weiss sonatas are likely duets without a surviving second part. The sonata in g minor in the London Ms has many such features. Michel Cardin has written a lovely duet part for baroque flute which we (with his permission) perform here with violin. Both the London and Dresden Ms have lute duets and Karl-Ernst (Charlie) Schroder wrote beautiful and tasteful reconstructions of a second lute part. He recorded the Dresden duets with Robert Barto but nobody has yet recorded his d minor duet from the London Ms which we present here. Following Charlie's tragically untimely death in 2003, the reconstructions were posted to the public domain (http://goo.gl/oqQiPT).

  One of the most famous works by Weiss is his Tombeau sur la Mort de M. Comte d'Logy, written following the death of lutenist and nobleman Jan Antonin Logy. Following the death of our beloved teacher Patrick O'Brien (1947-2014), composer Roman Turovsky has written a beautiful and heartfelt tombeau in his honor. It is only fitting to conclude with this piece and to dedicate the album to his memory.

  This Grammy-Ballotted and Parent's Choice Award Winning album is a compilation of best-loved songs from the good old days. Grandchildren's Delight offers creative new versions of classic kids songs that critics have hailed as "pitch perfect for the entire family" and "not sugared up or dummied down".

  This album includes a beautiful new versions of old-time classics such as "This Little Light of Mine", "Oh Susannah", "Little Liza Jane" and "Akin Drum". Cute and clever, but never cliche are versions of "Playmate", "Do Your Ears Hang Low" and "Be Kind To Your Webbed Footed Friends". "La Cucaracha" makes for a fun bilingual (Spanish/English) nonsense song and "Over In The Meadow" is a sweet version of the age-old counting song with a few new lyrical twists and turns.

  If you're looking for children's music that's savvy enough to be enjoyed by all ages and doesn't send older listeners running out of the room - this is it!

  A stunning collection of love songs and instrumental dances from 12th to 15th century Europe. The album includes passionate Spanish ballads by the Troubadour Martin Codax about a woman who waits on the sea shore for her lover. There are mysterious magical songs which describe meetings with the Fairy Queen, songs of women who are spurned by untrue lovers by the female troubadour Comtessa de Dia, and an anonymous song of a woman who escapes the cruelties of the cloistered life for the outside world of earthly pleasures. There are also two courtly love songs by Jehan de Lescurel a priest from Notre Dame who was later hanged for debauchery.

  The majority of the songs on this album come from monophonic melodic lines, sometimes accompanied by text, which the band have interpreted using a stunning array of early instruments which include gothic harp, hammered dulcimer, recorder, bass viol, bagpipes, hurdy gurdy, percussion, pipe and tabor with the beautiful voices of leading early music singers Jennie Cassidy and Sophia Brumfitt. The album concludes with 'Galdrbok' a Norse word meaning 'book of sung spells' which is an original compostition by director and bagpipe player Katy Marchant and hurdy-gurdy player Steve Tyler - so linking the medieval past with our lives in the modern age.

  Be Creative and BeIng were recorded at the same time - the same moment. They always felt like brothers. The concept for these tracks was to take the idea of creation, the act of being creation and turning it into a spiraling, chaotic, yet controlled piece - with so much haste to reveal the creation that unraveled itself into this world. BeIng is that very unraveling - the curtain call for Be Creative. Images of a human discovering the body they reside in kept running through my mind while composing and hearing it.

  Be Joy is a circular piece - a mantra. The two sections always constantly becoming one another. Composing this, I knew it was right to go to the opposite section when my craving for it could not wait any longer.

  Be True formed first among the other pieces and personally, it sounds like it. It's an infant, playful, peaceful, and full of joy. Yet, some noises may give you a hint at another thought. While the melody if easy to listen to, the rolling and sweeping sonics that appear in the background hint at a different understanding of truth all together.

  Be Alive is passion. Full of peaks and valleys. A sonic land scape. By far the hardest piece to manifest for the series of pieces. I only recorded parts for this track when completely in the mindset of intense passion. Those beautiful vocals are front man from Glowing House, Steve Varney.

  Be Different and Be Something are minimalistic. These two are miles apart from Be Alive on the sonic landscape, yet polar opposites on one another. Be Different sings to the earth while Be Something chants to the ocean. Ying and Yang but folding into each other.

  Be Hope, the cousin of Be Alive. Brimming with life, but with a twist. This is the manifestation of Hope - where none exists.

  As he did in his ambient debut "Be", Preston intricately weaves uncommon intensity and passion into the sonic landscape and manages to accomplish something rare: Ambient music that is capable of a wide range of feelings.

  From the transcendent "Blind Lovers Hand In Hand", the near sacred rage of "The Blood In Your Veins, and the wailing of "A Giant Leap Of Faith" to the Blade Runner atmospherics of "Spinning Away From The Earth" (a collaboration with Mingo), "Soundtrack To Motion" shows significant growth and maturing of Preston as an ambient artist.

  Layers of acoustic guitar interwoven with modern keyboard sounds and percussion. It's both mystical and melodic. Moving and stirring with hints of influences from Led Zeppelin to Pink Floyd, and also guitarists Pat Metheny and Ottmar Liebert.

  "Acoustic Earth, Electric Sky" takes the listener on just such a journey, this time with full instrumentation of orchestra and band and also pieces written specifically for acoustic guitar. And because the music was calling for it - the last piece (Acoustic Earth, Electric Sky) was begging for an electric guitar."

  The music that makes up the album Angel, by David Modica, is incredibly delicate, meditative and soaring all at once. But it's also filled with stunning, unexpected moments that induce intense clarity felt somewhere between the mind, heart and soul.

  It has the ability to merge that lost memory of the feeling you had the last time you asked for forgiveness with the intensity of a beautiful sunset. The compositions are mostly slow-moving and vaporous, spacious and wondrously melodic weaving you into a fairy tale-like dreamscape. In all of its dreaminess, Angel invites the listener into a special place: It pulls back the curtain so you can step into a music that is at once of its own time and, seemingly, timeless.

  Dreaming In Real Time, by David Modica is a transcendent expression of acoustic and electric guitar melodies which will leave any listener feeling as though they've just taken an expansive supernatural journey that exists only as a result of a direct outpouring of inspiration. This album collection is a rebirth of David's original signature talents joined with a new awakening and appreciation for this latest inspirational space in which to write.

  Dreaming In Real Time, the title track, starts the listener off in a peaceful and sublime movement of tranquility and wonder. Here, the journey begins.

  Castle In The Air was written as a beautiful expression of a life's dream unfolding as a result of living authentically, feet planted firmly on solid ground created from up above.

  Acquiescence was written with a capacity of understanding the act of silent agreement, which in turns surpasses all understanding of the one who loves us the most.

  Sanguinity and Temporary Significance are spirit-filled in the sense that they both elicit a mystical anticipation of unearthly cheerfulness.

  Wandering Pilgrimage is a charming interpretation as if one's soul knows and has known all along it was meant to travel this very pilgrimage till now, and now a new path begins, leaving behind the old.

  Alone But Not Alone captures the idea that we are truly walking hand in hand, heart in heart, breath in breath with the one true giver of life, who is life and is the beginning, the middle, and the end, and the end is infinite.

  This subtle and sublime recording of acoustic and electric guitars focus on a purity of tone, clarity of harmony, and counterpoint of melody to achieve a tender lyricism. David Modica brings us into a Zen-like musical garden of textures and sounds - as if entering into an instrumental prayer of harmony, balance and deep emotion. Modica, as always, moves easily from one composition to the next displaying his unique and tender touch on both acoustic and electric guitar.

  Starting with "Wings" - one definitely feels lifted into another realm - a journey is about to begin... and on it goes weaving in and out of textures, moods and atmospheres. The last song on this album is the traditional "Amazing Grace" which gives the project a true sense of closure and leaves the listener wanting to stay in this musical meditation of spirit, surrender and peace.

  Innovative, Inspiring, Unique, Tranquil, Relaxing...A must have album that fits in nicely with Pink Floyd and Michael Hedges.

  Unique Compositions that will leave you in a wonderful state of Stillness and Quietness. Acoustic Guitarist David Modica writes and performs acoustic guitar music like no one else? his haunting and reflective music on guitar touches the listener's heart.

  "My first two "Timeless" and "Stillness and Movement" were purely Acoustic Guitar. I feel they were both works of a "journey" of sorts, one that would take the listener to a new world with highs and lows and emotions to fulfill the senses.

description:
  Beautiful guitar compositions rich in melody, mood and atmosphere. Both reflective and meditative taking the listener on a journey through a timeless space.

  "This album (Timeless) caught my attention when I was doing my usual surfing and shopping. As if the music possesses some magical effect, the acoustic tune of guitar seemed to calm me down, making me forget all the stress I had from my work. The reverberation of the guitar makes one imagine that he is driving down a long road along a countryside...throwing aside all the troubles he had. I was so drawn to the music, I couldn't really pinpoint which track I liked best. To simplify everything...it's captivating."
  Wil. C of Capeland Life

  "My first two albums - "Timeless" and "Stillness and Movement" were purely Acoustic Guitar. I feel they were both works of a "journey" of sorts, one that would take the listener to a new world with highs and lows and emotions to fulfill the senses."

description:
  "After a remarkable EP, Dayazell is back with a real first LP. Who are Dayazell? A quartet that proposes a talented and free interpretation of ancient World music.

  Real passionates, the members of Dayazell seek for old medieval and traditional repertoire, with no consideration for the frontiers.

  They do not stick to the European culture, but take the listener far, far away: Spanish hymns of praise, Armenian and Mongolian songs, Sephardic and middle-Eastern music...a Worldwide inspiration.

  It's also one of their assets not to confine themselves in a dusty academicism, but to take liberties with the interpretations of those songs. They're giving them a new life, while keeping a serious approach as well as excellent technical skills.

  Dayazell invites you to a sophisticated trip around the World. An inner trip also. I recommend that you embark with them."

description:
  Delko is a French alternative stoner rock band. Their music develops: the songs' energy builds from being stripped at thebeginning to give way to a more detailed rock, heavier and more musical. The common thread is the roots that tap into the sediments of 70s rock and take care of the energy of grunge, alternative rock of the 90s. The rest is the passion of the big four of Delko that is their task, the riffs "depotent" and the words, their scope of poetry is rarely equaled.

  Released in 2011, Delko 321 was their first LP. The album brought together the first 3 EPs the quartet published between 2007 and 2010 and proceeds as a documentary about four years in the life of the band.

  Destroy The Colossus' "Centuries" is a tour de force of brutal, pummeling technical metal that is unlike anything out there.

  As a band, we wanted to stray from the conventions of hardcore and death metal and instead mix the two along with some other genres to fulfill our own desires to hear something fresh in the music scene while still retaining a catchy groove than gets our hearts pumping.

  "Centuries" is somewhat based on the history of The Colossus of Rhodes and the epic tale of not only its rise and fall, but the people the fought to either defend it or destroy it.

  Despite the diversity of the tracks, "Eurynome" is an integral composition, in which Alex, Roman and Alexander put all that they left aside in their previous album "Newfoundland".

  diometrix fans have said numerous times that the music on NEWFOUNDLAND miraculously conveys the atmosphere of unity with nature. For one there seems to be a rain, for another endless ocean, and thirdly giant icebergs on the Northern pole. The mere fact that diometrix members live in Siberia, is reflected in their creations. The picturesque nature of far-eastern Russia, with its fluffy snow and dense forests, cold winters and rainy autumns makes itself felt in NEWFOUNDLAND. Without getting into the genres, diometrix themselves classify their music as Siberian, with an emphasis on the fact that there is the spirit of this extraordinary place within it. You have the unique opportunity to let a little piece of cold Siberia into your home, along with diometrix music.

  Smoky trip-hop beats meet the cool purity of vocals from Lisa Debenedictis, Ammonite, Artemis, and Lizzi. These are rounded out by some choice atmospherics like "Direction Dub" from Beat Under Control and "Waterfall" by Solar Cycle. The mood of this album is mellow and hushed?these are the kind of tracks that stand out much better on a compilation than on their albums of origin.

  The best selling of all DJ Cary's compilations, Eastern Grooves has a friendly, mid-tempo groove throughout much of the album, making it ideal for work and after-work alike. Eastern influences are abundant, of course, and the overall sensibility here is a modern, cosmopolitan one interwoven with more timeless sounding material such as "Kereshme" by Stellamara. The subtle beats return with "Mirrored Image" by Cargo Cult?an irresistable track by Cargo Cult. Next comes the tabla seduction of "Dance of the Aisles" and the understated poetics of "Arabesque" by Hans Christian. We especially like the atmospheric "Waddi Jah" by Rapoon, which blends what sounds like 1920's Indian radio broadcasts with fizzy, floaty ambient loops.
