Fireside Chat Francesco Tristano Infiné, Deutsche Grammophon, Barcelona/Luxembourg Being dubbed classical music's next prodigal son might sound like a heavy load to us ordinary mortals, but Francesco Tristano Schlime carries it on his slight shoulders with the most amazing grace. A graduate of New York's prestigious Juilliard School, this Luxembourgian now residing in Barcelona has recorded several albums with compositions from Bach, Ravel and Prokofiev amongst others. It's his insatiable appetite for discovery and unique feeling for dancefloor sensibilities though, that have made him a staple [...]
Pic: ak47 Dva Damas - Brand New Head ( buy ) Don't think Dva Damas ' release on Downwards can be described any better than this: In essence this record draws a line between the attitudes and aesthetic of leather-jacketed 50s rockers, late 70s New York punks and 90s techno industrialists to end up in 2010 where it's everything, all at once. Downwards also just released Tropic Of Cancer's Be Brave , video below. [...]
At one point during the double piano set by whiz kid Francesco Tristano and veteran Bruce Brubaker - two artists steeped in the 20th-century piano tradition- I jotted down in my notes: "I'm just not sure what the point is supposed to be." Maybe that was the point. Avant-garde artists frequently set out to mystify their audiences, appealing to an elite and eccentric few, while shock and confusion were stalwart aesthetic values of the Fluxus movement and other happenings going on in this city during the 1960s and 70s. Make no mistake- Tristano and Brubaker are consummate [...]
Francesco Tristano Schlimé ,the world renowned Luxembourg born pianist, and Carl Craig , the Detroit native Techno Producer, have collaborated on an amazing piece.

Murcof (Fernando Corona) nato a Tijuana in Messico è uno dei più grandi musicisti di elettronica contemporanea. Grande sperimentatore, trae ispirazione da autori classici come Johann Sebastian Bach, e musicisti contemporanei, come Johann Johannson e Valentin Silvestrov. Il compositore accosta i ritmi digitali della minimal tecno ai suoni dell'esecuzione orchestrale, campionati e ricreati attraverso l'uso di software e macchine, dando vita ad un sound emozionante e coinvolgente. In occasione della sua esibizione al M.I.T. , Festival di musica elettronica di Roma, Soundsblog lo ha intervistato in esclusiva scoprendo grande professionalità e disponibilità. [...]
What an extraordinarily heavyweight lineup for an event, and what a place to hold it. The choice of the Royal Festival Hall for this Red Bull Music Academy show seemed to be an overt indication that this was not to be your typical dance music event. In fact quite often this couldn't even be described [...]

Het optreden in het Cité de la Musique in Parijs dat pianist Francesco Tristano vorig jaar gaf samen met Carl Craig en het Les Siècles Orchestra was voor hem geen éénmalig experiment. Het combineren van zijn twee passies, klassieke en elektronische muziek, heeft hem al sinds zijn studietijd bezig gehouden. In die periode leerde hij ook medestudent en eveneens talentvol pianist Rami Khalifé kennen en samen deden zij met hun mix van klassiek pianospel en housemuziek de clubs in New York aan. Niet veel later voegde Aymeric Westrich, drummer van Cassius, zich bij het duo [...]
Posso ripetermi che non cerco rivalse nei confronti della musica che ascolto, posso dirmi che non ho bisogno che Evelina Christillin mi dia il benvenuto e mi accomuni alla figlia nei giovani che finalmente entrano a Teatro con la musica elettronica per la prima volta (e che la legna non sia troppa, orsù), posso lamentarmi quanto voglio del fatto che siano meglio i diciottenni datch-vestiti che attendono sempre l'ultimò ultimò rispetto ai trentaseienni col posto riservato che non hanno pagato il biglietto, che non sanno dove stanno, che si alzano e se ne vanno venti minuti prima della fine o [...]
Hey all.. So, here at technocolorkids, whether you may believe it or not, we like a little balance in our lives once in a while. That is why we will be introducing the first Sunday of our weekly series called Sunday Smoothies . What we'll be doin is this = hooking you all up with some amazing tunes to sit-down and relax to for a few minutes after the insane weekend bangers we get down on pretty much all week... So instead of posting our usual tracks that entail 'having a raging party in your ears', [...]
Op 18 oktober was het Cité de la Musique in Parijs het toneel van een zeer bijzondere ontmoeting. Na hun eerdere samenwerking op het album " Recomposed Vol. 3 " sloegen Carl Craig en Moritz von Oswald wederom de handen ineen en schreven zij het stuk "Versus", dat samen met pianist Francesco Tristano en het Les Siècles Orchestra in het Parijse theater werd opgevoerd. Klassiek meets techno dus, en het werd een zeer bijzondere avond. Hieronder kun het nummer "Technology" bekijken. Het gehele optreden vind je hier . Tracklisting VERSUS: [...]
Apparat - Things To Be Fricked Apparat is a German electro producer and owner of the brilliantly named record label Shitkatapult . We like him already. Apparat first came to my attention when he collaborated with Ellen Allien on the highly acclaimed ' Orchestra of Bubbles' and various remixes I've come accross. 'Things To Be Fricked' is a 2 disc release. The first disc is remixes he's done, the second is his material remixed. There is an obvious connection [...]

Saw the Mystery Jets play a free gig at Exeter Uni yesterday - and I'm really liking their new stuff. Twenty One is released "very soon indeed" and they've taken a great direction with it. Their new stuff uses all the talents of the band - Blaine's haunting voice (flecked with a hint of vibrato, reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, though he still very much has his own unique style) on Flakes, William's voice and songwriting talents on Young Love, the counter edge that Kai's voice brings and some beautiful bass riffs, especially on 'Half in Love with Elizabeth'.

Fin de semaine dernière, j'ai fait preuve d'une (sur)activité nocturne hors du commun. Je préfère t'en parler, ça va me soulager... Jeudi 28 février : Nuits Sonores Tour @ Rex Club J'ai jamais brillé en mathématiques et pourtant, ce soir-là, j'ai tout pigé au live de Principles of Geometry . Par contre, les autoroutes c'est pas ma came. Et Oxia le premier DJ à s'emparer des platines après les matheux nous a matraqué d'une minimal ennuyeuse et sans surprise... Puis vint le règne Cardini [...]
Francesco Tristano - Not For Piano (In-finé - Discograph) "La démarche peut paraître surprenante : un pianiste classique émérite reprend des tubes techno avec son instrument fétiche. Mélangeant les genres et les inspirations, Francesco Tristano réunit jazz et classique à partir de compositions électroniques. Et tout cela s'avère plutôt déroutant. Sans le savoir, on pourrait presque penser que ce sont des compositions originales faites pour le piano mais certains passages rappellent effectivement le « langage » techno. Not for piano attise la curiosité, c'est déjà un premier point [...]
