Breaking the convention of a traditional live album, Spaces was recorded over the course of two years in different locations and on various mediums, including old portable reel-to-reel recorders and cassette tape decks. These moments were later pieced together in his Durton Studio and referred to by Frahm as a collage of field recordings rather than a live album. It Includes surprise moments such as the sound of him banging a toilet brush on the piano strings to create a dub-sounding track.

The album was followed by Screws, a free birthday gift to his fans he recorded while recovering from a thumb injury. Frahm has quickly become known for his live performances that showcase a unique combination of piano motifs on the upright, grand piano and Rhodes with heavy synthesiser sounds. Being called to perform at electronic events like Mutek, Boiler Room, Decibel and Primavera, as much as traditional concert spaces like Le Poisson Rouge, Frahm continues to cross musical barriers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"item_artist_heading artist_first\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.4;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eERATP055LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Erased Tapes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"forte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":17766790277,"sku":"ERATP055LP","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/143570.jpg?v=1571438805"},{"product_id":"nils-frahm-solo","title":"Nils Frahm 'Solo' LP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerlin-based composer Nils Frahm has fast become know as a prolific performer and recording artist with the piano at the core.

Its longest strings are about 10 feet in length. This colossus was initially built to evaluate a useful maximum size of the piano. Driven by the assumption that pianos could sound better, David got to work in 1985 and finished his instrument 2 years later.

The joy of playing and listening to the sound of the instrument made me play slower and slower, softer and softer, as almost every new note was destroying the immense beauty and sustain of the previous note. I was preparing the instrument with parts of my felt collection, carefully tuning mic positions with the help of my dear friend and recording gear wizard Matthias Hahn and simply playing whatever came to my mind.

Influenced equally by post-rock, classical music and the electronic avant-garde, he has composed and released five solo albums and “recomposed” Vivaldi’s Four Seasons for a best-selling album in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichter does not expect anyone to sit down and listen to SLEEP in its entirety, although some surely will. “It’s really an experiment to try and understand how we experience music in different states of consciousness.” He says he came up with the idea because of a long-standing fascination: “Sleeping is one of the most important things we all do,” he says. “We spend a third of our lives asleep and it’s always been one of my favourite things, ever since I was a child.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe consulted eminent American neuroscientist David Eagleman while composing, to learn more about how the human brain functions while sleeping. “For me, SLEEP is an attempt to see how that space when your conscious mind is on holiday can be a place for music to live.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoinciding as it does with the renewed interest in durational works within the fine art community, Richter says: “This isn’t something new in music, it goes back to Cage, Terry Riley, and LaMonte Young, and it’s coming around again partly as a reaction to our speeded-up lives – we are all in need of a pause button.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRichter adds, “I’m perpetually curious about performance conventions in classical music, our rigid rules that dictate how and what music we can appreciate. Somehow in Europe over the last century, as complexity and inaccessibility in music became equated with intelligence and the avant-garde, we lost something along the way. Modernism gave us so many stunning works but we also lost our lullabies. We lost a shared communion in sound. Audiences have dwindled. All my pieces over the last few years have been exploring this, as does SLEEP.

The re-recording of this piece is an interpretation of Reich’s composition but still far more than just that – it is a modern approach to his idea behind it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basic idea came up at the beginning of the 70s at \"The Baldwin Piano \u0026amp; Organ Company\" in New York. During a rehearsal phase Steve Reich spent in this very piano store, the idea emerged of writing a composition for all the grand pianos available to him at the company. By the time of the finished piece, the actual number of pianos had settled down to six, whereof „Six Pianos” developed in 1973. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the occasion of his 80th birthday, the six pianists declare their love to Steve Reich and his composition with this release. Shaped by electronic club music as well as their classical education, they form \"Six Pianos\" in dignified modernity and top it off with today’s sound aesthetics and technical recording possibilities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat you will be hearing is not the recording from the „Kölner Philharmonie” (Cologne Philharmonics) but the ensemble play of six different grand pianos in six different locations, throughout Germany. Each pianist performed his part on his piano using his typical studio equipment and passed the recording over to the next one. Thus the six characteristic and individual timbres of the performers overlay to create the overall picture – „Six Pianos” the way it should be looked at in 2016. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Pianists are soloists and lone warriors by nature”, as Gregor Schwellenbach once said. But the initiator not only won over solo artists to the greatest possible extent such as Hauschka or John Kameel Farah but also musicians from \"Brandt Brauer Frick\" and \"Grandbrothers\" as well as their ensemble partners: Jan Brauer mixed \"Six Pianos\" in the studio while Lukas Vogel provided delays for the b-side. \u003cbr\u003e\"Keyboard Study #1\" by Terry Riley is a worthy b-side opposed to Reich’s composition. The piece is kind of a building set of ever lengthening, repetitive patterns played against each other with the right and left hand displaced. The composition proposes various possible combinations for the performer to choose from and repeat at will. And what the performers have chosen proves Gregor Schwellenbach’s assumption: \"Especially Terry Riley’s and Steve Reich’s music are open doors for pianists socialized by pop music and their audience.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan\u003eFILMLP002\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Film\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SRD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":25511223760,"sku":"FILMLP002","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/161305.jpg?v=1571438856"},{"product_id":"max-richter-three-worlds-music-from-woolf-works-2xlp","title":"Max Richter 'Three Worlds: Music From Woolf Works' 2xLP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e180 gram vinyl.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFollowing the success of SLEEP, Max Richter reveals his latest recording project – a new album entitled Three Worlds: music from Woolf Works.

This isn’t, to be fair, a heavily populated field, but it’s one he’s made his own, and while some might have dismissed his work early on as a novelty, Bertelmann has proven himself to be uncommonly inventive, coaxing ever more unprecedented, euphonic sounds and rhythms out of his instrument. Even so, on What If – which finds him adding player pianos (also known as pianolas) to his armoury – Bertelmann expands his range even further, defying expectations and delivering what is without doubt his most ingenious album yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBertelmann has found increasing amounts of work as a soundtrack composer, working on scores for a number of documentaries and feature films, not least James Franco’s adaptation of John Steinbeck’s In Dubious Battle and, alongside Dustin O’Halloran, Lion, for which they’ve both been nominated for a Golden Globe. Nonetheless, despite this rush of activity – or perhaps even inspired by it – What If reveals itself as the work of a man hungry to explore new sounds, eager to experiment with new approaches, and undeniably revelling in this irrepressible outpouring of creativity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Bertelmann, the opportunity to record another album of his own was a welcome one. “My solo work,” he explains, “is autonomous, and I can choose every step from the beginning without any outside influence. I definitely decided with What If to make a record that might be my most radical. The lyrical piano has disappeared, and the sounds I’m fascinated by – like noise and electronic elements – have taken over.”And in a break from his traditional methodology – he programmed parts for player pianos, exploiting the speed at which they could play, manipulating the resulting sounds, and building layers to emphasise a composition’s metre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOverflowing with haunting melodies (“I Can’t Express My Love”, “Familiar Things Disappear”), mysterious sounds (“I Can’t Find Water”, “My Kids Live On Mars”), complex patterns (“Constant Growth Fails”, “Nature Fights Back”) and a rare dexterity that’s hopefully matched by the intellectual response to the challenging scenarios its titles envisage, What If crowns an extraordinary couple of years for Bertelmann. Arguably, in fact, it represents the culmination of everything he’s worked towards these past dozen or so years. “I was always attracted by hip hop, deep rhythms and weird sci-fi electronica” he concludes. “What If is a result out of both that and the hundreds and hundreds of concerts I’ve played, where I developed a way of mixing all these elements together.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely to prove one of 2017’s most original albums, while at the same time inspiring questions about the very nature of the world we inhabit, What If redefines the very notion of piano music in a dramatic and exceptional fashion. It stands as a rebuttal to those who lazily seek to shoehorn Hauschka’s work into the so-called, uncomfortably broad ‘new classical’ category, and instead underlines his status as a unique and invaluable artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTRACKLISTING:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide A\u003cbr\u003e1.

Inside her music, wordless narratives, indefinite travelogues, and braided events skew into something enchantingly new. The Los Angeles-based harpist recorded her breakout 2016 album, At The Dam, during stops along a road trip across America, letting the serene landscapes of Joshua Tree and Marfa, Texas color her compositions. In 2017, she presented Collected Pieces, a tape compiling sounds from her past life in Philadelphia: odes to the east coast, burning motels, and beach town convenience stores. In 2018, from a restorative station — a redwood barn, nestled in the hills above San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge — emanates Hundreds of Days, her second full-length LP with Ghostly International. The record sojourns between silences and speech, between microcosmic daily scenes and macrocosmic universal understandings, between being alien in promising new places and feeling torn from old native havens. It's an expansive new chapter in Lattimore's story, and an expression of mystified gratitude. A study in how ordinary components helix together to create an extraordinary world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAwarded a residency at the Headlands Center for the Arts, Lattimore spent two summer months living with 15 fellow artists — writers, playwrights, musicians, poets, painters, activists, curators — in a cluster of old Victorian military buildings on the Northern Pacific Coast. Days offered solitude; Lattimore set up in a spacious barn, able to arrange her instruments at will. Nights welcomed new perspectives. \"Hanging out with a lot of accomplished artists with poetic ways of looking at the world was really inspiring. My heart was in a bit of a tangle after leaving Philadelphia. I was holding onto things instead of moving forward. My time there was a nostalgia detox, a way to press reset in a healthy way. Also breathing in the freshest air in America, straight off of the ocean, felt good.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the shifting locales there is one consistent companion Lattimore engages: a 47-string Lyon and Healy harp. The instrument wires directly into her psyche. Pitchfork's Marc Masters posits, \"she can practically talk through it at this point; she’s created a language.\" The space and stillness of the Headlands afforded Lattimore freedom to her expand her vocabulary, to stretch out and experiment with layers of keyboard, guitar, theremin, and grand piano. Lattimore's voice sweeps beneath the plucks and washes of opener “It Feels Like Floating,” enraptured by the winding current, and reappearing in the second minute of the immense \"Never Saw Him Again.\" The track elevates towards a shimmering apex of static and percussion before organ drone yields to signature halcyon flutters. As with much of Lattimore's work, the track titles are telling; \"Baltic Birch\" is a somber windswept march that sways gracefully out of step, a remembrance of a recent trip to Latvia where she was struck by the abandoned resort towns along the Baltic Sea. “Hello From The Edge of The Earth” is an earnest reflection of Lattimore’s love of the natural world, recognizing the thresholds of varying terrains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album's fifth track borrows its name from Lattimore’s favorite line in Denis Johnson’s short story “Emergency” from Jesus’ Son. A character, lost in a blizzard, reassesses a disjointed universe, a clash between curtains of snow and angels descending out of a brilliant blue summer: it isn’t an apocalypse, it is a drive-in movie, with stars hovering above the lot, off the screen, in the throes of the Midwestern storm. This mix-up is disorienting and existentially tragic; Lattimore's darkly strummed piece is a melancholic parallel, mimicking Johnson’s elegant suture attaching two remarkably discontinuous spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicro-revelations, not quite as bright as torn skies but nonetheless enlightening, were everyday occurrences during Lattimore's residency. Living small days with small tasks — feeling little dramas within the arcadian universe of a national park — rendered her the sense that disjointed spaces can be interconnected no matter the enormity that divides them. It's in this elastic scale of perception that something as simultaneously simple and intricate as Hundreds of Days can flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: \u003cspan class=\"help-block small\"\u003eGI317LP\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Ghostly International\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ROM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7975918141506,"sku":"GI317LP","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/GI317LP.jpg?v=1571439070"},{"product_id":"nils-frahm-encores-1-12","title":"Nils Frahm 'Encores 1' 12\"","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: #222222; background: white;\"\u003eEncores 1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 150%; font-family: 'Verdana',sans-serif; color: #222222; background: white;\"\u003e is five track 12\" vinyl EP previously only available as an exclusive, limited release via Rough Trade.

The Stratus Pianos are two self-playing, semi-generative player pianos which are triggered by a central piano played by Ólafur, and are the centrepiece of his new works.

The algorithms generated from Stratus were also used to create the innovative album artwork. On the album Ólafur uses these methods reinvigorate the compositional experience, feeding back into the creative process in a completely new way. As Ólafur plays a note on the piano, two different notes are generated by Stratus, creating unexpected harmonies and surprising melodic sequences. Speaking of the album, Ólafur says, “This is my breaking out-of-a-shell album. It’s me taking the raw influences that I have from all these different musical genres and not filtering them.

Having received critical acclaim and coheadlining the prestigious Royal Festival Hall as part of the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary celebrations, after many years his audience is now both global and growing. The composer is finally gaining a momentum in his career that matches the vibrant, highly active energy of his playing.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Cascades of notes, canyons and rivers of sound: there’s something about his music that channels the natural world at its most awe-inspiring. In ‘Fallen Trees’ the connection with the environment continues, taking its cue from a long rail journey Melnyk made through Europe. Glancing out of the window as the train passed through a dark forest, he was struck by the sight of trees that had recently been felled. “They were glorious,” he says. “Even though they’d been killed, they weren’t dead. There was something sorrowful there, but also hopeful.” That sense of sadness touched by optimism infuses the album, too: rarely has Melnyk made music so shot through with melancholy and regret, but which sounds so rapt, even radiant.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Drawing comparisons with Steve Reich and the post-rock group Godspeed You, Black Emperor!, Pitchfork praised his 2015 album ‘Rivers And Streams’ for it’s “sustained concentration and ecstatic energy”. That energy is present in ‘Fallen Trees’ too, but at points the tone is quieter, the mood darker and more wistful. At points elsewhere on the album, despite being rooted in the wonders of the natural world, there’s a kaleidoscopic quality in the fractal flurry of notes and the broad spectrum of colour they summon.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Critics have detected the influence of Ravi Shankar and other Indian styles in Melnyk’s music, along with the insistent, repetitive textures of minimalist pioneers such as Steve Reich and Philip Glass. Melnyk himself cites his debt to the American composer Terry Riley, particularly the legendary 1964 work ‘In C’, which he says “opened the world for me”. But he adds that if you listen carefully, you’ll also be able to hear the lilting contours of traditional Ukrainian folk music.\u003cbr title=\"Page 5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 5\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCatalogue number: ERATP116LP \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 5\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLabel: Erased Tapes\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"forte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14130954895426,"sku":"","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/lubomyr.jpg?v=1571439145"},{"product_id":"black-to-comm-seven-horses-for-seven-kings-2xlp","title":"Black To Comm 'Seven Horses For Seven Kings' 2xLP","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 4\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLimited green coloured vinyl.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThrough his output both as a sound artist and through his eclectic Dekorder record label, Black To Comm (Marc Richter) has established himself as a singular voice of new music. His Thrill Jockey debut, ‘Seven Horses For Seven Kings’, is Richter’s most direct and visceral to date. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA relentless sonic explorer, he approaches the studio as his instrument, using sampling, analogue production and digital manipulation to sculpt audio fragments into surprising new shapes.

Richter blurs the lines between organic instrumentation and digital production to the extent that the two become inseparable. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e‘Seven Horses For Seven Kings’ was completed during a particularly prolific period for Richter.

Extensive touring would equally come to inform a key shift in Richter’s music, simulating the raw, unpredictable energy of live performances on record.

Spiegel created “Music Mouse - An Intelligent Instrument” on a Macintosh 512k so that she could have an instrument that was not general purpose but a small, specialized, and well defined musical instrument for and by her that she did not have to compromise on or risk losing access to it. While it was a very personal instrument for Spiegel, demand among friends and colleagues nevertheless grew until “Music Mouse - An Intelligent Instrument” became a commercial product for the Macintosh, Amiga, and Atari personal computers with a devoted popular following that continues to this day, despite the obsoletion of those platforms. At the time of her Unseen Worlds album’s original release in 1991, the issuing record label turned out to be going out of business, dissolved and disappeared, sending the album immediately into obscurity.

It sets off where his sophomore album Prehension left us, the warm intimate sound of the Schimmel piano Beving inherited from his grandmother. But the compositional language chosen is different from his previous work. As if gently inviting one on a cosmic adventure, it is the commencement of an epic journey into the unknown. What follows is a deep listening experience in which the piano, although sometimes completely absent, is the familiar voice that guides the listener on its way into oblivion. Beving draws his inspiration from man’s relationship to reality. His debut album ‘Solipsism’ investigates the self and how it is related to the other by trying to show we have a shared understanding of what it is to be human, e.g. manifested in our response to a thing of beauty. For ‘Prehension’ Beving describes realizing he had zoomed out from the individual level to the level of the collective. Borrowing his album title from Alfred North Whitehead who portrays reality as an organism in which man is held responsible for the unfolding of fragments of reality every fraction of a second. ‘Henosis’ is the last step in which Beving, this time intentionally, zoomed out even further resulting in a cosmological journey in search of the fundament of ultimate reality and emptiness of the mind.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatalogue number: 4799875\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel: Deutsche Grammophon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Universal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":14825765470274,"sku":"4799875","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/4799875.jpg?v=1571439169"},{"product_id":"efterklang-karsten-fundal-leaves-the-colour-of-falling-2xlp","title":"Efterklang \u0026 Karsten Fundal 'Leaves - The Colour Of Falling' 2xLP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003eFollowing 16 sold-out shows of their explorative opera 'Leaves - The Colour of Falling' back in the summer of 2015, Efterklang are back with the opera's official release; a genre-breaking collection of tracks composed in collaboration with the award winning composer Karsten Fundal.

Arvo part (born 1935 in Paide, Estonia) doesn't need to be introduced to anyone who has the slightest interest in classical music, and his audience reaches far beyond the regular attendants of symphony halls. After first serialistic compositions, \"Credo\" (1968) was a turning point in part's life and work, being the first piece carrying a religious title and expressing a creative crisis that part answered by lesser compositions and studying medieval and renaissance music in search for a new musical language. In 1976 he returned with \"Fur alina\" and introduced his new (and self-developed) style that would become his trademark sound which made him the famous and honoured composer he is now. The album \"Tabula rasa\" opened the next important chapter in his career: the ever continuing close relation to Manfred Eicher and his ECM label where many of the composer's works have been released since. \"Works for choir\" presents several compositions for choir from the period from 1989 to 1991, recorded in vilnius with the award winning vilnius municipal choir jauna muzika under the artistic direction of vaclovas augustinas. For this reissue, all tracks have been remastered by helmut erler at d\u0026amp;m berlin for best possible sound. The vilnius municipal choir jauna muzika choir was founded in 1989 by the conductor and composer remigijus merkelys and has since won several prizes, among others six grand prix in 16 international choral competitions around the world, and in 1993 it was awarded with the highest prize, the grand prix europeo, in a competition organised by the international federation of choral music.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003eCatalogue number: CGC051LP\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLabel: Cugate Classics\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Proper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35062788685992,"sku":"CGC051LP","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2020-07-08at07.16.59.png?v=1594189053"},{"product_id":"max-richter-voices-2xlp","title":"Max Richter 'Voices' 2xLP","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"modal-body\"\u003eOver a decade after its inception, ground-breaking composer Max Richter announces the release of VOICES – a major new recording project inspired by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In a time of dramatic global change, VOICES offers a musical message of hope. Max Richter invited people around the world to be part of the piece, crowd-sourcing readings of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights to be interwoven into the work, which features an ‘upside-down’ orchestra. He received hundreds of submissions in over 70 languages. These readings form the aural landscape that the music flows through: they are the VOICES of the title.Max Richter explains, “I like the idea of a piece of music as a place to think, and it is clear we all have some thinking to do at the moment. We live in a hugely challenging time and, looking around at the world we have made, it’s easy to feel hopeless or angry. But, just as the problems we face are of our own making, so their solutions are within our reach, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is something that offers us a way forward.

House Music unfolds as one long piece, a recorded-then-sculpted improvisation that vastly expands their work, coalescing classical and electronic instrumentation in the creation of genre-defying musical worlds. After having shared the short film “IX: Nature That’s It That’s All.” — which layered archival visuals of blissed-out crowds at a carnival over one of the later, dreamier sections of House Music — Bell Orchestre presents a video for the one-track album’s most anthemic and explosive segment, “V: Movement”, directed by band member Kaveh Nabatian.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e In the album’s liner notes, the group recalls countless moments when, in kinetic moments of improvisation, “a nuanced piece of music would emerge organically, completely formed, without any plan or discussion or rational thought” — and then be lost because it wasn’t recorded. In conceiving a new album, they decided to celebrate the spontaneous and accidental, to centrally situate the act of collaborative, democratic creation in their finished work. With the legacies of improvisation-exploring greats like Talk Talk, The Orb, Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and the late Ennio Morricone in mind, on House Music, Bell Orchestre captures the impulsive, connective, mysterious poetics of musical invention happening in real-time.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e With help from engineer Hans Bernhard, the band wired every corner of Sarah Neufeld’s (Violin, vocals) multi-story rural Vermont house. She and the mini orchestra’s other five members — Pietro Amato: French horn, keyboards, electronics; Michael Feuerstack: Pedal steel guitar, keyboards, vocals; Kaveh Nabatian: Trumpet, gongoma, keyboards, vocals; Richard Reed Parry: Bass, vocals; and Stefan Schneider: Drums — assigned themselves to different rooms. They spent two weeks together in camaraderie, creation, and focused isolation to record their improvised sessions every day, but ultimately structured a 45-minute album out of a one hour-and-a-half long improvisation.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “If you sliced away the front wall of the house and looked in, you’d see the horn section — with so many different things going on — down on the first floor of what would normally be the living\/dining room, and it was full chaos with tables and tables of kalimbas and harmonicas and synthesizers and horns. Then you travel up a floor, and there’s me and Richie in an empty, warm sounding wooden bedroom. Mike was on pedal steel in the bathroom, on the same floor as us. And then up the stairs, through the ceiling and in the attic, was Stefan, alone on drums. It’s a big piece of land, and if you went outside to take a break, you’d look over and hear all of this crazy shit coming out of all the different floors, and it filled this valley, and there were lots of rocks so the sound would bounce around. It was spooky and glorious”, describes Sarah.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e While edited and trimmed, and occasionally added to, the album itself is in large part the original recording — with the broad structure of its movements kept intact. This single piece of music — written almost entirely as it was being recorded — emerged with no parameters beyond the inclusion of a short harmonic loop Parry had brought in as a starting point, which coheres and propels the album as it moves forward through the birth; vigorous, unrestrained growth; and ultimate slowdown of the musical ecosystem it creates. What the band generated is an album that lays bare the contours of a lived musical moment.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e “Most of my favorite recordings have some element of an explorative and accidental feeling within the music, a feeling which reflects the truth of musical minds which are partially super focused on specific musical ideas and partially wandering, exploring the musical world surrounding those ideas,” says Parry. “I think it’s really satisfying as a listener when you can hear a musical mind exploring an idea — not just a musician who has pre-formed an idea and rehearsed it 100 times until it’s totally perfect and ironed out. In this recording, every one of the six of us is simultaneously exploring our own ideas,\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eCondition: New\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLabel: Erased Tapes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"forte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39426188902568,"sku":"ERATP141LE","price":22.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0932\/6872\/products\/ScreenShot2021-03-17at07.56.08.png?v=1615967796"},{"product_id":"clark-playground-in-a-lake-2xlp","title":"Clark 'Playground In A Lake' 2xLP","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eProlific 21st century producer, multi-instrumentalist and composer Clark releases his debut work after signing to Deutsche Grammophon.\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 3\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-readmore-expanded=\"true\" data-readmore=\"\" style=\"max-height: none; height: 303px;\" id=\"product-description\" class=\"js-readmore\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"st__content-block st__content-block--text\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ci data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlayground In A Lake \u003c\/i\u003ehas been over 5 years in the making, slowly unearthing a new style and a the right, unique musical vocabulary to capture a vast notion.
