György Ligeti: String Quartet No.1, performed by Esmé Quartet

 Tongyeong International Music Festival 2023 Tongyeong Concert Hall

[burlveneer-music]

Elliot Galvin - The Ruin - known as a jazz pianist (& member of Laura Jurd's Dinosaur) but impossible to pigeonhole in a genre. "Gold Bright" sounds like if 23 Skidoo discovered spiritual jazz (and features Shabaka Hutchings on bamboo flute)

"This album is the most personal I’ve made to date. Named after an ancient Anglo-Saxon poem from the 9th century AD about the former glory of an unnamed ruined city, “The Ruin” is inspired by the feeling of living in England (“a country that feels like a living ruin”), the bleak landscape of where I grew up (Medway towns), and a kind of self-portrait reflecting how we all live amongst the ruins of our past selves both collectively and individually. All the musical material on “The Ruin” is taken from iPhone recordings of improvisations that I played on my first-ever piano – bought using money left by my late grandfather. The whole album is structured cyclically so that it gradually builds up and crumbles away, starting and finishing with solo piano. To this end, the very beginning of the album starts with a reversed iPhone recording of me improvising a melody on this piano and ends with this same recording playing forwards." "The musicians who recorded this music with me have all had a big impact on my voice over the years, featuring Ruth Goller on bass and voice, Sebastian Rochford on Drums, the Ligeti String Quartet, who I have been working with since the very first album I was on. It is the start of a new chapter musically and one that feels the truest to my musical voice that I’ve ever made."

Ligeti Quartet, Anna Meredith - Honeyed Words

[sivavakkiyar]

Ornette Coleman, Dedication To Poets & Writers

from the ESP-Disk album Town Hall. This string quartet is probably the earliest recorded piece of Coleman’s chamber music (makes me think of Bartok & Ligeti).

The Avantgarde Series

"I recently received a 21CD box set from the Deutsche Grammophon label, reissuing almost all of the two dozen albums they put out between 1968 and 1971 in their Avantgarde series. Four boxes, each containing six LPs, were released, one each year, premiering works by composers including Luciano Berio, John Cage, Cornelius Cardew, Luc Ferrari, Vinko Globokar, Mauricio Kagel, Roland Kayn, Gyorgy Ligeti, Luigi Nono, Krszystof Penderecki, Karlheinz Stockhausen, and many others. There are string quartets, organ pieces, vocal works, electronic and tape compositions, things that sound like weirdo theater happenings, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. ..."

Ben Copperhead – “Franny and the Songbirds” (Video Premiere)

Today is a great day to share the latest single and music video from indie-folk songwriter Ben Copperhead. On this eclectic new song called “Franny & The Songbirds,” Copperhead channels his love of other indie-folk artists like Father John Misty, Leonard Cohen, and Surfjan Stevens into his own unique psychedelic package. The song comes from Copperhead’s new LP, Wailing Viridescence, out everywhere music is sold on April 28th. I was also able to catch up with this talented artist for a brief interview below. How does “Franny & The Songbirds” fit into your general vision as a creative, and what made you choose it as the second single to help introduce your new LP? I’ve been writing string trio arrangements for many of my songs since 2015. Composing a string arrangement for “Franny” allowed me to dive deeper into the harmonic and rhythmic possibilities. This song let me expand my creativity by arranging a quartet instead of just a trio. The strings complimented the song without getting in the way of the vocals and I was very pleased about the recording quality.  “Franny” has a catchy melodic hook and one of my favorite bridges, which I wrote with my nylon string guitar. It offers a different kind of listening experience than other songs on the record. It was cool that the music video director, Jonathan Levy, really wanted to do this song. There were so many right reasons to make this song my second single. Alongside your previous single “Copperhead Vagabond” how would you say “Franny & The Songbirds” fits into the general theme spread across your new LP? Sonically and thematically, where did you take inspiration from? Franny and the Songbirds is a different type of song than Copperhead Vagabond. It’s a song that is about my cat Franny-Kaede. It’s somewhat thematic, because there’s another song, Feline Feminine, on the album that is about my other cat, Hanamaru. My cat friends are an inspiration and keep me connected to something unexplainable in words. Sonically, I took inspiration from older folk, pop, and jazz records with strings, like the Beatles, Nick Drake, or Jimmy Scott’s ‘The Source’. But I also love Ligeti and other modern and classic composers like Ravel and Debussy. Having studied how some of my favorite records were recorded and produced in the late 50s and 60s gave me inspiration to try something different. When crafting the forthcoming LP, where did the creative process begin? How does this LP differ from your previous Baby Copperhead work? The process began by writing new songs that I was excited about and having a desire to record most of it on my own. I’d been learning how to record with a reel to reel tape recorder and really loved the results I got, especially with vocals and acoustic instruments. I like the process of recording while playing my instrument and singing at the same time. There’s also the challenge of recording in my bedroom because there’s an above ground subway directly across the street.  I have approx 5 minutes to get an entire take before the walls start shaking. Not an ideal setting for recording, but it makes me really focus, since time is of the essence. It’s about setting parameters, which is different from the way I’ve done previous albums. I put myself in charge this time, and thru trial and error figured out how to get the sounds that I wanted. For previous Baby Copperhead records, I’ve had to rely solely on another engineer to make those decisions. That can be nice when you want to just focus on the music, but maybe the results are not what you want. It’s important to be self reliant,  but you still need that objectivity about your own work or it could become self indulgent. Kramer helped finalize the album by taking out a few tracks that didn’t fit and recommended adding a few older gems. He’s got a lot of experience and knows how to make great records. --- Please consider becoming a member so we can keep bringing you stories like this one. ◎ https://chorus.fm/features/ben-copperhead-franny-and-the-songbirds-video-premiere/

05.05.24 Ligeti Quartet perform Ligeti at BRIC for the Long Play Festival

[see-arcane]

what kind of music do you listen to for inspiration?

I focus better with music that has no lyrics, and for my horror scribbling I usually listen to disturbing soundtracks that lean more toward phantasmagoric; like you're in a dream that's about to take a hard swerve toward a nightmare. The Suspiria album by Goblin, horror movie themes done by Vitamin String Quartet, and the Cat People soundtrack are all good. If I'm aiming for cosmic-level terror vibes, I just play, "Requiem: II. Kyrie" by György Ligeti on a loop. (The eerie song from 2001: A Space Odyssey.)

But if it's while I'm hyping myself up about a character/scene without actually locking in on writing, I'm a little all over the place. If I had to name a genre, I'd say Villain Songs (badass) and Villain Songs (tragic). Right now my top most-repeated songs are:

"E.V.O.L." by Marina and the Diamonds

"Choke" and "Mx. Sinister" by I DON'T KNOW HOW BUT THEY FOUND ME (yes, an actual band name)

"Pet Sematary" by The Ramones

"H B I C" (Head Bitch In Charge) by Gin Wigmore

"In the Room Where You Sleep" by Dead Man's Bones

and, for variety,

"Killer Klowns" and "Booby Trap" by The Dickies
