Bell Orchestre "Recording A Tape the Colour of the Light" Album Review
WOW
This was suggested by Amazon based on a purchase of stuff by Owen Pallet who I heard interviewed on the Vinal Cafe. It was nothing like I expected and I need more.....it (like Arcade Fire and Owen Pallet's Final Fantasy; although I am not sure it is normal for people my age to love this stuff) has opened up a whole genre of music that has gotten my entire head involved, not just my ears. I am 54 and I have a renewed passion for music. "Wicked fun", again.

Zanana "Holding Patterns" Album Review
Album Description
Zanana (za-NAH-nah) is an electro-acoustic chamber music duo featuring Kristin Norderval, (voice) and Monique Buzzarté (trombone) collaboratively composing and performing improvised music blending acoustic sounds, electronics and live processing. Zanana's inception dates from an all-night peace vigil concert in the fall of 2002 when Kristin invited Monique and poet Barbara Barg to join her for an evening of improvised music and spoken word. Since then Monique and Kristin have continued developing repertoire as a live processing duo, recording and performing in venues ranging from concert halls to clubs to abandoned buildings. Zanana uses improvisation as the foundation of their compositional process. While some works are free improvisations, some are structured improvisations and some are composed works with aleatoric elements, all are rooted in the expansive practices of Deep Listening. Zanana takes its name from a variant spelling of "zenana," the portion! of a house in southwestern Asian countries exclusively dedicated to women. <P>Holding Patterns is a compilation of live recordings selected from Zanana's first season of performances. Gasholder Duet is an improvised duo of unprocessed acoustic sounds recorded live inside the historic Gasholder Building in Troy, NY. Doorjam and Ghost Dog combine live processing of both the voice and trombone sampled in real-time with prerecorded soundfiles of ambient recordings made at the Gasholder Building and prerecorded and electronically processed voice soundfiles. Flags, Title X, and What a Pretty Dog were recorded live in concert in New York City. Poet Barbara Barg provides the text for Flags and joins the duo on spoken word on What a Pretty Dog in honor of Monique's dog Suki, who was accustomed to hearing this phrase regularly from strangers throughout her life. <P>Kristin Norderval is a classically trained singer, improviser, and composer who performs an eclectic repertoire that spans the renaissance to the avant-garde. Many works have been written for her, and her collaborations have included work with choreographers, sculptors, filmmakers and installation artists. Since 1997, she has also been recording on-site improvisations in unusual spaces, many of them industrial. She has recorded new works for Koch International, Mode, Nonesuch, Point, Euridice and CRI. Monique Buzzarté is an avid proponent of contemporary music, commissioning and premiering many new works for trombone alone, with electronics, and in chamber ensembles in addition to composing for traditional and electro-acoustic ensembles. Her recordings include John Cage's Five3 with the Arditti Quartet on John CAGE: Vol. 19 - The Number Pieces 2 (Mode 25) and Dreaming Wide Awake with the New Circle Five (Deep Listening 20). An author, activist, and educator as well as a performer/composer, Ms. Buzzarté has published research on the brass music of women composers and led efforts that led to the admission of women into the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra.

Ktu "8 Armed Monkey" Album Review
Intrincate, profound, avant-gardish...
The real 8 armed monkey is the monster rhythm section: Gunn as a humble but absolutely brilliant virtuoso brain and Masteloto setting new standards for drummers. Pohjonen is one of the most pleasant surprises I've ever had in my life. I saw KTU in concert here in Mexico City and Kimmo almost brought me to tears in one of the songs. One wishes that this music could last forever...

The Unexpected "The Unexpected One" Album Review
Excellent for non-musicians
I just listen to music, don't play an instrument or read music. This set greatly helped me know just WHAT was making the sounds I heard, and what the various instruments are capable of doing and the range they have. I still can't distinguish a violin from a viola very well---but I'm getting better. Overall I'm quite satisfied and plan to see if my grandchildren are interested.

Check out the clip of his semi final winning performance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDB9zwlXrB8 Comments about the performance only please. All others will be removed and blocked. Aerosmith's "I don't want to miss a thing" is also featured in the clip, for those that keep asking! For all those that seem to think Paul is a pro in disguise, please realise the following. - Bath Opera is an amateur opera company staging a small number of productions a few times each year. - Paul has performed in just 4 four productions with this company - Paul has attended some masterclasses in Italy. These courses are designed for talented amateurs. All of these are paid for by those attending. - A few masterclasses, even one with the great man do not constitute "a formal opera training" by any stretch of the imagination. - Professional opera singers earn their living by treading the boards night after night week-in week-out, year after year with professional opera companies. - Paul, has never earned a single penny from opera performance, other than winning a tv talent show in 1999 - the winnings funding masterclasses. - Paul has not performed since 2003. - He is not a professional opera singer pretending to be a mobile phone sales man, but rather he is a mobile phone salesman aspiring to be an opera singer. - An operatic voice IS a trained voice. Hmmmm, perhaps if I can buy a few classes at a pro cookery school, I can pass myself off as a highly experienced pro chef.....hmmmmm......
