A memory Fades

Jim Perkins - A Memory Fades

Music, piano, prog. strings, mix: Vicente Bueso

In a war, who are the delicate flowers caught in the storm? What happens when giants of iron clash, mercilessly crushing everything in their path? Who are the innocent ones whose roots have barely had time to cling to the earth? What do the explosions mean for those who never chose the battlefield? How do unbloomed dreams become victims of destruction? What does the relentless wind of ambition leave behind? Who tells the stories of what could have been in the silence of desolation?

From "ARTIFACTS" (2024)

Dirk Maassen - Avalanche Album Out Now !

"L'ignorance" single from my new album "Fragments", out July 3, 2020. Pre-order now: https://bit.ly/2yWhvwC
This "Fragments" album includes 8 piano solo pieces that I composed during the lockdown. The compositions are inspired by the strange situation that we all lived and by the beauty of the everyday life that always helps me to be happy despite the difficulties of life. I recorded all the tracks in my living room, on my Schimmel upright felted piano.
I hope you'll enjoy these small piano melodies and that they will accompany you during the summer. 
As always, thank you for your support, 
Best, 
Dominique

Fragments

L'ignorance / "Fragments" New Album Out July 3, 2020

Iskra means 'a spark' to ignite. 

Iskra is a collaborative group of string players who enjoy making music together regardless of genre. The quartet has travelled extensively across Europe with Icelandic composer Johann Johannsson, performing at various prestigious concert halls and festivals, including the Steve Reich 75th Birthday celebrations for the Barbican, London and Cork Opera House, Ireland. A highlight includes performances of 'The Miners' Hymns' collaboration with American artist film maker Bill Morrison.

Iskra has also enjoyed working closely with pianist/composer Olafur Arnalds. A concert at the Queen Elizabeth Hall and European tour led to an invitation to perform at the sold out launch of the album “For Now I Am Winter’ (Mercury Classics 2013) at the Barbican Concert Hall accompanied by the Britten Sinfonia conducted by Andre de Ridder.

The quartet’s work with producer Jamie xx featured on the No. 1 best selling album by The xx entitled ‘Coexist’ (Young Turks/XL 2012). Recently Iskra contributed strings to Jamie's score for Tree Of Codes, a contemporary ballet created with choreographer Wayne McGregor and visual artist Olafur Eliasson for the Manchester International Festival.

Iskra’s collaborations with composer Alex Baranowski have featured on the soundtracks to the twice BAFTA nominated film McCullin (David Morris and Jacqui Morris, 2013) and for Sir Nicholas Hytner’s production of Hamlet at the National Theatre, London starring Rory Kinnear.

In 2007 Iskra were commissioned by Radiohead and XL Recordings to create a string quartet remix of their song ‘The Reckoner’ as part of the promotion of the album ‘In Rainbows’ (XL 2007).

Other highlights include collaborations with artists such as Vampire Weekend, Sufjan Stevens, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Katie Melua, Duke Special, My Brightest Diamond and composers Dustin O'Halloran and David Julyan. Recently Iskra performed as a trio alongside The Lone Bellow on Later...with Jools Holland (BBC Two).

Their forthcoming album celebrates their 10th anniversary and includes contributions from composers Johann Johannsson, Olafur Arnalds, David Julyan, Peter Gregson, Alex Baranowski, Isobel Waller-Bridge, Luke Anthony and Paul Frith.
