Satellite is the 4th album from Graham Richardson's Last Days. Richardson who is now well known for his cinematic electro-acoustic pieces that effortlessly invoke an almost inconceivably tangible imagery has this time around turned ever inward for Satellite's core inspiration. While Richardson credits the album with certain personal themes in tow he's more apt to let the listener gather their own meaning of the album's affinity of satellite and stars. The song New Transmission features vocals by Beth Arzy (Aberdeen, Trembling Blue Stars) and could very well sum up the album's apex while delivering the most pop affected Last Days song to date. Satellite is out Sept 17th on n5MD

Claudio Monteverdi, L'incoronazione di Poppea
Oblivion Soave ("Adagiati, Poppea")

Adagiati, Poppea,
Acquietati, anima mia:
Sarai ben custodita.
Oblivion soave
I dolci sentimenti
In te, figlia, addormenti.
Posatevi occhi ladri,
Aperti deh che fate,
Se chiusi anco rubate ?
Poppea, rimanti in pace;
Luci care e gradite,
Dormite omai dormite.
Amanti vagheggiat'
Il miracolo novo:
È luminoso il dì, sì come suole,
E pur vedete, addormentato il sole.

Philip Glass turns 75, and I’d like to share my solo piano performance of his masterpiece written about 35 years ago: the main theme from Einstein on the Beach. Our intellect refuses to accept the shocking simplicity of the Absolute. We keep searching for something "really serious" and elaborate. By playing this music today I want to say that ultimate wisdom is very simple. Happy birthday Philip!
