Offered as metaphor and delivered as analogy...

The Blizzard That Birthed Her is the continuing echo of this year’s Home Normal success, Book Of The Folded Forest. Birthed as two original Orla Wren tracks ‘Five Acre Ladder’ and ‘Mountains And Wishbones’ which were recorded in the same session, Tui then worked the cello, bass and vocals of Aaron Martin into two alternative versions of each track, making up the 4 tracks on the 10” vinyl for Facture.

He then offered the same to Isnaj Dui who contributed some flute for him to then create the two versions with her as guest. To complete the companion 8 track letter pressed CD version the two "reprise" versions were created by Tui utilizing parts from the other tracks.

Mastered precisely by James Plotkin, the project is released as a limited edition run of 300 copies designed by Daniel Crossley; 4 track 10” vinyl on reverse board heavy card with printed inner sleeves with designs by Montreal designer Urban9, download code, 8 track 4-panel letter pressed CDs with wrap-around letter pressed bands, 4 prints resting inside typed/numbered glassine photo bags, 2 x double sided large prints, pressed flowers, all resting inside large tagged/scented letter pressed envelopes with beautiful artwork again by Urban9.

To accompany the album an exclusive promo film was made for the track Five Acre Ladder (re-prise) by Lumacell. And a very special exclusive bonus track The Cup Of Remembered Things is also included as a free download.

A returned honour of growth and loss, this album complements her predecessor as an expressive companion piece requiring little explanation.

Mountains And Wishbones (Orla Wren with Aaron Martin)

two celestas oscillate as a string orchestra begins to engulf them in their reveries.  each flower floats quietly to the ground, eventually to become the ground.  we are one.

each flower floats gently to the ground

Hauschka’s second album for FatCat’s 130701 imprint offers a brilliant advance on 2007’s ‘Room To Expand’. Where the previous album comprised mostly solo recordings of Hauschka’s ‘prepared’ piano (with a few electronic and instrumental overdubs), ‘Ferndorf’ is a far more expansive and fully-realised album, with many of the tracks also featuring a string duo, enabling an increased solidity.

Stille Piano - Piano Day 2020

A minimal and intense CD dedicated to Philip Glass' music.
Floraleda Sacchi (Harp and Creative Mix)

Since 2007 Floraleda Sacchi performs regularly Philip Glass' works on Harp. 
She realized Glass' music works perfectly on Harp and since then she became for many years the only harpist regularly performing worldwide his music in concerts, tv and radio broadcast: performances were listed on official Glass' website and some Glass' pieces were recorded live for the American Harp Society as important contribution to Harp repertoire.
 
Beside live performances, in 2007 Floraleda recorded 'Open the Kingdom' for the CD 'Suite en Duo' published by PHILIPS label (Cat. No. 476 5978).
In 2008, she included the five 'Metamorphosis' in her celebrated recording 'Minimal Harp' (DECCA, cat. No. 476 3172).
 
Finally, in 2012, she recorded this album for Portraits' Collection by Amadeus Arte with a lot of world premières for the Harp and with a completely new sound approach opening a new dimension for this music.


"Ms Sacchi invents a fascinating chapter of modern history of the harp." Angelo Foletto, La Repubblica
 
''I'm pretty sure fans of Glass will be stunned by these renditions.''
Tokafi Magazine
 
''The way Floraleda performs Philip Glass goes beyond the wonder.''
Tommaso Labranca, Acid Jazz
