První tóny desky In A Time Lapse rozezní snové potemnělé intro Corale , jakoby se pomalu klubalo z právě se rodící mlhy. Navozuje atmosféru klidu a vyzívá posluchače k zastavení, meditaci, rozjímání, jen s pomocí tlumeného zvuku čela a dvou viol, které se plynule po dvou minutách vpijí do minimalistického piana a kalimby ústřední skladby Time Lapse . Sekunduje jim občasná akustická kytara a v pozadí tiká nenápadná elektronika. Hypnoticky laděná krásná melodie vás ještě více uvolní a ujistí, že nemáte důvot nikam spěchat, ale jen poslouchat tuto [...]
This is the music that plays you out. Denovali Records, 2013 9.1/ 10.0 When I think of Thomas Newman while listening to another artist’s song, my taste is inclined to enjoy that other motherfucker. I’ve yet to see the subtly and nuance of Newman’s contemporary classical compositions [...]

If you’re unfamiliar with the music of Arthur Russell, I suggest that you take the time to cozy up to it. Get real friendly. Hold hands and drink hot chocolate by the fireplace. Or, alternatively, drink a bit of good vodka and dance around in your underpants. Both of these scenarios are equally possible with his music, which embraces the genres of dance, pop, folk, and contemporary classical music in a way that was pretty much unheard of in Russell’s day, and is the name of the game now. He was a visionary in the most quiet, gentle [...]
In an article from the New York Times last week, Judd Greenstein, the curator of the Ecstatic Music Festival , noted how the young chamber sextet yMusic doesn’t have a learning curve when it comes to playing classical instruments with a pop music sensibility. Talking about performance practice, a term more often reserved for Rameau and Chopin than Jay-Z and Arcade Fire, Greenstein highlighted the viability of staging an entire festival devoted to the blurring of popular and classical genre designations. The basic gist of it is this: for composers and performers who grew [...]
Ægteparret Keith og Hollie Kenniff har været initiativtagere til en fantastisk kompilering til støtte for ofrene af jordskælvet i Japan med en række af de mest toneangivende og talentfulde navne indenfor ambient/eksperimental/neoklass isk musik.

This is a bit out of the blue, and certainly not a customary post for Potholes (especially considering that this EP is two years old), but I felt the need to share this piece of music with you. Chaz Knapp is a contemporary classical pianist, but before you get turned off by the word "classical" just note that a lot of the modern classical artists are beginning to fuse their styles with electronic, ambient, jazz and post-rock genres. Such is the case with Chaz Knapp's Vie Comme un Parasite Faisant la Fête EP, which I found [...]
Pianostykker har en unik evne til at ramme mig følelsesmæssigt Solar plexsus. Der er noget universelt og tidløst over lyden af dette komplekst konstruerede instrument — noget grundlæggende musikalsk. De rene tonernes dirren i luften, når de filtklædte hamre slår de stemte strenge an inde i hjertet af pianoet rummer en autenticitet og grad af nærvær som tit overrumpler mig. Derfor vil jeg gerne dele nogen af de piano baserede musikstykker med dig, som jeg allerbedst kan lide. Vi lægger ud med Keith Kenniff , der er mester i at få billeder frem [...]
Bag Mint Julep står Keith Kenniff, som er jeg tidligere har skrevet et langt indlæg om . Keith Kenniff komponerer musik under mange navne og opererer genremæssigt i spændefeltet mellem ambient, neoklassisk, elektronisk og shoegaze. Men fælles er, at hans musik rammer en nerve af rendyrket melankoli og refleksiv drømmende karakter, som gør ham til en af mine store helte. Mint Julep er et projekt med hustruen Hollie, og fornylig udsendte parret en ny EP med navnet Adorn . EP’en indeholder en ny version af nummeret Aristea, som er mere [...]
Dan Deacon concerts are infamous for their symbiotic band-audience relationship. Really, it's a Deacon-audience relationship. We've seen the pictures, watched the YouTube vids, or maybe even been lucky enough to participate in the sweaty throng, dancing ecstatically on the floor, packed in around the zany artist as he twiddles knobs and switches on a mess of day-glo wires, pedals, and circuit boards. So it must have been something of a novelty for the Baltimore-based artist to be standing on a stage last Thursday night, raised above the audience in the de rigeur manner of the [...]
One of last year's gems was Polish composer Jacaszek's Treny which painted hauntingly cinematic B&W soundscapes with the help of cohorts Maja Sieminska, Anja Smiszek-Wesolowska and Stefan Wesolowski. With his new release Pentral he's set to describe the interior of a gothic church by means of sounds. A hefty project! After spending days in Gdansk churches Oliwa Cathedral, St. Nicolas’ church, St. Mary’s Basilica recording chants, organs and noises, he set off to process the samples to create a work in 10 parts. Pentral is not a pleasant ride to say the least, [...]
After going back to this song for three times during the day it became pretty obvious that the elegiac quality of Jóhannsson's Chimaerica befits today's gray weather and our loss in the Turkish FA Cup better than any other song. Off his fantastic Fordlândia album that has been mentioned before on undomondo . Buy Fordlândia , Review on Brainwashed Jóhann Jóhannsson - Chimaerica
