8Dio Hybrid Tools 3: "Architects of Life - feat. Celica Soldream" by Ivan Torrent

il dolce stile nuovo (The Sweet, New Style) – Jan Valta, Violin; Lukas Polak, Cello; Jan Petr, Piano.  Recorded in Prague, Czech Republic.

il dolce stile nuovo began as a song for voice and piano.  After I had written the intro, I called the poet only to have her tell me that she didn’t want me setting that particular poem.  Dismayed, the piece sat in a drawer for a few months while I tried to figure out what to do with it.  Finally, I got an idea to compose a piano trio, and use the introductory material as a basis for the piece.

This piece for me is just about the joy of writing and playing music.  It brings together all of my major musical influences – rock, jazz, heavy metal, renaissance and baroque music, classical Japanese music, and modern concert music.

Il Dolce Stile Nuovo (Excerpt)

My biggest struggle as a producer has always been trying to accurately capture the concept / ideas that I hear in my head.
Learning more and more about orchestral arrangements and programming in a DAW sense, has allowed me to ever get closer. 
I decided to rearrange this piece as I have always felt that years ago when I had originally composed this, I lacked the musical maturity, technical expertise (mastering / mixing) or virtual instruments to capture accurately what I was hearing in my head. 

Thanks for 10 million plays and a free download.

Put Your Records On (2016)

A violinist friend of mine came to me with an old, 1930′s violin part that was just that – a part with no accompaniment. The part was an arrangement of an old Russian folk song called “Dark Eyes”, or “Black Eyes”. He asked me if I could write an accompaniment to the part. I thought about it, and ended up re-composing the part, and composing a completely new and re-imagined accompaniment.

It changed little from the original violin part, save for slowly changing accidentals, so the tonality gradually travels to someplace distant from where it started. The piece begins in a more typical style endemic to the 1930′s when greats like Heifetz were tearing up the concert stages. However, I looked at the old part as a sort of time capsule. It had been born in the 1930′s, and then been lost, only to re-emerge in the very foreign land of the 21st century.

This is exactly how I approached the composition of the piece. It flows – slowly – from the past in to the present.

Rush – Anthony Joseph Lanman, 8-String Electric Guitar; Paul Bro, Alto Saxophone; Ted Piechocinski, Accordion; Kurt Fowler, Electric Cello. Recorded by Don Arney at Quantum Productions in Terre Haute, IN.

I’ve always loved progressive rock and metal music. As one wise man once said, “You’ll never escape the music you loved when you were seventeen.” And I’ve never tried. This piece is a tribute to all of that wonderful progressive rock that fueled my passion for music during my formative years, and contains that same drive, that same passion, and that same rush that it gave me all those years ago. The title is a reference to the feel of the music, and a tribute to one of the bands that got me started on my journey.

Rush also explores a whole new sound world for me – electric guitar, electric cello, alto saxophone and accordion – a combination I never thought I would hear, let alone have the opportunity to write for. It wasn’t until I did an arrangement of Astor Piazzolla’s L’Histoire du Tango for this group that I realized what a special sound and what a special group this was. Musically, the piece explores a few main ideas – one fragmented statement and one rock influenced melody. Its aim is to be a fusion of all of my past musical experiences, from playing in a touring rock band, to performing Bach suites on classical guitar, to playing John Dowland on the renaissance lute, to performing Steve Reich in a contemporary chamber orchestra.

Rush

From the Anglo-Saxon charm Æcerbot, a little chant in praise of the earth. 

Æcerbot Charm

Performance by Winston Choi on New Music Concerts' series. Commissioned by Prairie Debut for Winston's cross-Canada tour in 2007. Formerly titled "piano piece no.1"

Sungods for solo piano

"Wild cranes you sad birds
Wild geese you wretched birds
You fly far and you fly high
Fly by my homes
Let my father know and let my mother know
Let my five brothers know
That my hands are cold 
My fingertips are freezing
If I should fade and die
Wandering these paths
Make me a coffin of stone
Take me to the church
Take me to the chapel
Where they go on singing..."

The word Viridian is defined as a chrome green pigment that is a hydrated oxide of chromium.  Originally written for the sax/harp duo Pictures on Silence, Viridian Soliloquy is the third piece in my series of duets for one melodic instrument and one harmonic instrument.  Each soliloquy is titled after a color – the first being cerulean (for flute and piano) and the second being obsidian (for cimbalom and theorbo).  As a composer, I experience the phenomenon of synesthesia.  This is where I see colors associated with sounds and vice versa.  I was inspired to choose viridian for this piece because of the sometimes shiny green hue that reflects off of the body of the saxophone and the “green” timbre of the instrument.  The spirit of the piece is short, fast and furious and incorporates influences from rock, jazz, heavy metal and early music.

"Awaken, My Love!"

Redbone

I’ve always had an affinity for mono-timbral ensembles – string quartet, viol consort, brass choir, a capella choir. Writing this piece for an ensemble of six classical guitars gave me the opportunity to explore the wide range of timbral and tonal colors that exist in the instrument. The title created a very evocative image for me – of a shimmering veil blowing in the wind, revealing a multitude of colors as it reflected in the sunlight.

Sonata 46 for violin and classical guitar

Sandra Haniszewska - Violin
Tomasz Kandulski - Classical Guitar

I was attending music school as an undergraduate in 1998 at the University of Texas at Austin. At the time, Matthew Gould (of Duo 46) was attending as a Doctoral student in guitar and living in Austin with his partner, violinist Beth Schneider. They had started Duo 46 maybe a few years before this. I was hanging out with them a lot in those days - just going over to their apartment or whatever. One day, Matt said to me, "Hey man, why don't you write us a piece?", and I said, "Umm.. ok."

At this point, I don't think they expected much. They hadn't had that many pieces written for them yet, and I was just starting as a composer, only in my second year of school. I decided I wanted to write something that would really show off what they could do technically and musically, and that would leave audiences breathless.

Not knowing how to begin, I lifted a line from a piece that I had just written - a solo flute piece titled "The Five Rings of Miyamoto Musashi". That became the opening line of the piece. Then, inspired by the one movement sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti, I wrote the piece based on that line. The piece is full of things that I was just discovering and becoming influenced by at the time: baroque sonatas, renaissance lute music (hence the "lute" tuning of the guitar), the tangos of Piazzolla as well as the ever-present rock and heavy metal that has always been part of my music. Since Duo 46 premiered the piece in 1999, Sonata 46 has become one of my most frequently and widely performed pieces.

Hommage a Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) - The music of Hildegard has always amazed and inspired me.  Well, EVERYTHING about Hildegard has amazed and inspired me—the things that she composed, wrote, built, and accomplished—especially in an age when women were completely oppressed.  She is quite simply one of the greatest geniuses this world has ever produced, and it’s criminal that she’s not as well known as other male geniuses from her time (or later).  When I was thinking about this Hommage, I wasn’t sure how to approach it.  Then, one day (July 11th, 2018), I was doing some completely unrelated work, and out of nowhere, the entire piece came to me all at once, as in a vision.  Yeah, I know how that sounds, especially given Hildegard’s history, but that’s what happened.  The piece was written in one afternoon.

The Texture of Activity is a book of 55 short solos for one or two toy pianos. Each solo is dedicated to a friend. The project began as a challenge, in 2015: to compose a set of one-minute solos, with only one hour to write and record each one. I then transcribed each solo by ear, and made them into a book. 
My dear friend and guitarist Nicolas Deuson discovered the pieces and began performing several of them on classical guitar: “Be Real Easy!” (for Isaac Anderson), “These are Fine Italian Shoes” (for Allen Otte), “The Brave” (for Karl Henning), “Nasal Spray Cereal Bars” (for Adam Kieffer), and “JJ’s Lullaby” (for Lori Cabrera). Since the guitarist is playing directly from the toy piano music rather than a guitar transcription, there is much room for a unique and personal performance each time.

Fairy tales don't only belong to the domain of childhood. Their overt themes are threaded throughout hit TV series like Game of Thrones and True Blood, Grimm and Once Upon a Time. These stories survive, says Maria Tatar, by adapting across cultures and history. They are carriers of the plots we endlessly re-work in the narratives of our lives -- helping us work through things like fear and hope.

Anthony Joseph Lanman is an active and passionate musician that divides his time between composing, performing, teaching and advocacy for new classical music.

As a composer, Anthony creates music that reaches general audiences as well as new music connoisseurs. Embracing influences that range from progressive rock and metal, to medieval and renaissance music, to jazz, to new classical, Anthony strives to create a sound that is his own. He has written for ensembles and soloists around the world.

Recent commissions include – E.G.S./A.J.L. for guitarist Matthew Cochran, Hear Us! for children’s choir and string ensemble commissioned by Otter Creek Middle School, Automaton – a concerto for 8-string electric guitar and percussion for Clocks In Motion, The Rag and Bone Shop – a song cycle for baritone and piano trio for Brian Lewis and David Small commissioned by the University of Texas Butler School of Music, Rush – a quartet commissioned by the Music Teacher’s National Association and the Indiana Music Teacher’s Association, Hommages for Piano, Book 2, for Holly Roadfeldt, and Damselfly – a duo for 8-string electric guitar and percussion for Kyle Lutes.

Anthony’s performing career began in high school while singing and playing electric guitar with his touring progressive band Canvas. His principle instrument changed to classical guitar during his undergraduate years at University of Texas at Austin where he studied with Adam Holzman. Through his graduate study at Indiana University he added renaissance lute and theorbo to his instrumental arsenal, studying with Nigel North. He has performed with the University of Texas New Music Ensemble, the University of Texas Early Music Ensemble, the Indiana University New Music Ensemble, the Indiana State University Wind Ensemble, and Clocks in Motion. He has also performed many concerts of solo and chamber music.

Anthony’s advocacy is life-long. In the nineties, he hosted a contemporary classical music radio show on KVRX in Austin, Texas. In the 21st century, he promoted fellow Indiana University composers through a web presence on Mp3.com (now defunct); created Guitar Heroes, a weekly presentation series in Second Life; and produced more than 100 episodes of his ongoing music-centric podcasts All the Cool Parts and the 1,000 Recordings Podcast. He has appeared as a guest on Soundnotion, Composer Quest, Classical Guitar Insider, Goes 2 Eleven, and The Portfolio Composer.  His new podcast 1 Track focuses on the music of the contemporary classical world.  In addition, he has exposed thousands of new listeners to contemporary classical composers by sharing this music to his more than 400,000 followers on Soundcloud.

Anthony has held several positions at multiple universities and colleges, as well as K-12 public schools. In 2016, he held an adjunct position at Butler University in addition to teaching choir and music at West Vigo Middle School. He holds a BM in composition from the University of Texas, and an MM and DM in composition from Indiana University.

Anthony currently resides in Bloomington, IN with his wife Jenna and their cats Silas and Bod.
