Fortress Europe & Moonflower "1925 - 1988" 2021

1925-1988 is a delirious lockdown collaboration between Leon Radojkovic of Fortress Europe, and Scott Satherley of Auckland doom juggernauts Demons of Noon, working under the moniker Moonflower. The EP combines the cinematic Eastern European fervour and instrumental sophistication of Fortress Europe with the gothic Mama's & The Papa's vocals and weird poetry of Moonflower. The result is a primal and emotive psychedelic odyssey and ecstatic confrontation of existential angst, romantic longing and erotic mysticism.....~ Credits Scott Satherley – Lyrics/Vocals Brodie Hoare - Vocals Leon Radojkovic – Music/Guitar, Saz, Tamburica, Accordion, Darbuka, Hand Percussion, Synths, BVs Tracklist Organ Grinder 03:24 Pothos 05:00 Sigilator 03:28

Fortress Europe "Amadeus"2019

Amadeus is a reimagining of selected works and fragments of works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, performed by a 12-piece band and featuring soprano Madison Nonoa and bass-baritone Joel Amosa. The arrangements utilise interweaving post-rock guitars, haunting synths, spaghetti-western trumpets and trip-hop inspired drums, alongside more traditional orchestral instrumentation such as woodwinds and strings. The album was inspired by bandleader Leon Radojkovic's award-winning work as musical director for Auckland Theatre Company's production of Peter Shaffer's play Amadeus, directed by Oliver Driver, and starring Michael Hurst and Ross McCormack. Radojkovic's goal was to create a new interpretation of Mozart's work that remained true to his music and spirit, rather than simply reproducing a facsimile, while avoiding at all costs the tired trope of “rock band plus orchestra”. The recording features only a partial selection of the over 20 pieces which were performed in the Auckland season. They are presented chronologically as they were composed, and only the section of each work which was featured in the production was recorded....~ Credits Joel Amosa: Vocals Jonathan Burgess: Bass Tom Broome: Drums Peau Halapua: Violin Joseph Harrop: Viola Robin Kelly: Keyboards Abraham Kunin: Guitar Madison Nonoa: Vocals Leon Radojkovic: Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion Finn Scholes: Trumpet, Vibraphone Scott Thomas: Winds Rachel Wells: Cello Miyo Yoon: Violin Tracklist Serenade for Winds (Excerpt) 01:50 Martern Aller Arten (Excerpt) 01:16 Turkish Finale 01:12 Mass in C minor (Excerpt) 01:58 Act 1 Finale 00:56 Ah Tutti Contenti 02:22 Heil sei euch Geweihten 01:53 Lacrimosa 03:30 Rock Me Amadeus (Live) 04:12

Fortress Europe "Old World" 2023

Fortress Europe return to The Wine Cellar to celebrate the release of their long-anticipated debut album, Old World, an album densely packed with intriguing and baffling musical monoliths, each one a genre-defying slab of sound orbiting outside of time, blissfully ignorant of prevailing musical trends. Combining avant-garde rock sensibilities with Balkan music traditions, Fortress Europe features yearning violin, snaking time signatures and Balkan and Middle Eastern folk instrumentation colliding with jagged guitars, squalling sax, haunted retro synths, and apocalyptic bass and drums, all performed by musicians from acts as varied as Demons of Noon, Tami Nielson, The Black Quartet and Luger Boa. Featuring special guests, and with support from Oksun Ox, the one-man-band act of Ben Holmes (Drorgan/The Hoolie Buzzes/Spacesuit etc), bringing twangy scuzzed out guitar, casio boogaloo, live finger beats, foot thumping rumble, songs from the domestic disaster zone sung with a passionate croon and frenzied strum....~ Credits Jonathan Burgess – Bass Peau Halapua – Violin Scott Thomas – Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet Tom Broome – Drums Leon Radojkovic – Guitar, Keyboards, Accordion, Tamburice, Glissentar, Saz, Ocarina, Melodica, Percussion, Vocals, Glockenspiel Tracklist 1946 04:53 Angelus Novus 04:05 Roads 05:41 Neretva 04:39 Diaspora 04:18 Volk 04:25 Belgrade 04:02 Old World 05:27 Elegy 04:01
