relaxdaily - Forest (soundtrack)

The very first Fivos song I heard on SoundCloud was his beautiful and haunting Nightly Walker.  I asked Fivos to share with me his score so I could at least enjoy playing his Nightly Walker, and at Fivos' urging, I am going to post my version on SC.  

I will not attempt to be Fivos - I could never be as talented as Fivos, and his wonderful songs and playing.  I am just posting this simple and non-improvised version (except the ending) as a tribute to Fivos and as a thank you to all his wonderful music.  He is brilliant and this is just a "junior" version of Nightly Walker that I enjoyed recording.  

Thanks Fivos for the score and for your tremendous talent and music!  Keep on sharing it and we'll keep on listening.

Cello quintet arranged and performed by Deryn Cullen.
Solveig's Song is one of the movements from Grieg's Peer Gynt, Op. 23. It was the incidental music to Henrik Ibsen's 1867 play of the same name.

I've always wanted to record some piano stuff and throw it out on the internet, but I don't have any audio recording equipment to record a live piano, so I've resorted to making random creations under this pseudonym: DNTST. I recently remembered that I've got a MIDI connection and a reasonably sized piano keyboard and thought I'd try do a lil improvisation, hope ya like it!

(sorry if there's a bit of a timing error, it seems there was a slight latency problem between the MIDI-->Computer)

Erased Tapes first introduced Lubomyr Melnyk and his unique continuous music technique to a wider audience with ‘Corollaries’, an album produced by Peter Broderick in 2013. Now he returns with a 24-minute mini album entitled 'Evertina'. Featuring three newly composed solo piano pieces, the long-form EP showcases another side to Lubomyr Melnyk – his more gentle and melodic work.

In 2012 Lubomyr's ears began to notice the remarkable tonal depth of upright pianos. To Lubomyr the upright piano sound is like a natural forest of microcosmic colours. 'Evertina' and 'Awaiting' were created on a middle-aged upright piano at a friend's home in New York in October 2012 – just before Hurricane Sandy hit the city. Some children were listening to Lubomyr as he played in a hotel lobby in Cologne and 'Butterfly' is the piece that he made for them. It was recorded on a battered grand piano somewhere in Switzerland in late 2013, with the lid closed down to soften the effect. ‘Evertina’ will be available on 10” vinyl, CD and download from December 15th.

IN HIS OWN WORDS:

"The piano for me has so many different faces, so many personalities and wonders, it is like life itself, ever-changing yet always holding to a permanence of beauty. Like butterflies that never fly in a straight line but always carry their loveliness with them in their multi-angled paths. I want people to hear these pieces, that are always hidden from the world. I keep them locked away in a quiet place, far from the concert hall. Why do I do that? I guess it is because they are so easy to play, so effortless, I can do them while sleeping. Whereas my more demanding abilities on the piano come out in the forceful nature of continuous playing. There, the new ground is being broken and a new door is being opened for the world. But that does not mean that I am bound by nature or by god to do only continuous music. My heart moves into these pieces just as it moves into the continuous modalities. So here, for the very first time, I am bringing three of these little miniatures to the public view. May everyone enjoy them for their gentle simplicity and quietude.

These three pieces fit so nicely together in spirit, they present a tableau, a tiny triptych that can reach the world without waiting for a major work, they stand beautifully on their own, and do not need an album to surround them with comfort and padding. No, they are what they are, and a short musical interlude as this record gives, is just perfect for their nature."

The cover artwork was created by American artist Gregory Euclide, who also designed the relief cover art for the album ‘Corollaries’.

It is, once again, the most wonderful time of the year. For all of us struggling to feel like it's Christmas, let me whisk you away to a magical land for just a few moments with "Immanuel."

I chose to blend my favorite melodies from two songs: Carol of the Bells and Veni, Veni, Emmanuel (O Come O Come Emmanuel) into a seamless piece of music. Because of the complex nature of these songs, I decided not to include lyrics - rather to accentuate my favorite pieces of each song with cello, fiddle and mythical vocals. Enjoy - I've made downloading free as a celebration of everything good, wintry, Christmas and magical...

Lyrics by Ursula Andkjær Olsen:

CITIES OF GLASS

I have no doubt
just, damn, build those gardens
into the sky
sun is gathered by large screens
that unfold like flowers
that unfold like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out like flowers
in and out

I have no doubt
our futures:
you are welcome in mine
I am welcome in yours
are a castle with many chambers
and the chambers open and close 
in on us as
flowers by night
by light

our futures
our futures
is a castle with many chambers
is a castle with many chambers

cities of glass
cities of glass
cities of glass
in the sky
cities of glass

Standing at the intersection where techno meets classical music, Ólafur Arnalds directs the new Late Night Tales.

“When I was asked to do the next installation of the Late Night Tales series I thought "This will be fun and easy, only a couple of days work. No problem!". Six months later, I was still pulling my hair out in some kind of quest to make the perfect mix. As someone who has never really done mixes before, I learned a lot of things along the way and the whole experience was very inspiring. I decided to approach the mix in a similar way as I would one of my scores. This is the soundtrack of my life. I included songs from many of my friends and collaborators and tried to deliver a mix that represents who I am as an artist and where my influences are coming from - both personally and musically.”

Late Night Tales: Olafur Arnal

Kiasmos - Orgoned (Late Night Tales: Ólafur Arnalds)

...after 150 compositions I found its time to go out an meet my audience. First I am planning a solo piano tour over europe in 2016/2017. Next I am planning to go out with a real emsemble (4-7 musicians) and perform a series of piano/emsemble concerts to wherever it takes me. It needs a lot of preparation and it needs a lot of arrangements (synthesizer, sample, bass, cello, viola, violin, maybe some drums and percussive effects). This is where you come into place. Amongst all collaborations I will choose the best and add them to my live program. As an arranger you will get 50% of all digital sales profit (after cost for orchestra and studio) for the respective song which will be published on the live and studio albums I am planning. As said, the project is a huge undertaking for an individual like me and I am not sure I will manage to make it. So in first place you should take part in this collab to have fun and because you love music !

Thanks

Dirk
