Notes from Left of the Dial: Dec. 20

Taken from the new album 'Grassed Inn', Blank Realm unleash the triumphant transition of their nascent fluorescent rock'n'roll glow in to full-blown spiky pop craft. Harking back to the halcyon days of Talking Heads, underpinned by the off-kilter psychedelic blues of Royal Trux. Like Dylan mixing it with Suicide on Highway 61 and a half in a far off universe.

Lizards of Camelot

Great Valley "Ride Across the Moat Of Love"

Composer Joseph Koykkar, described by American Record Guide as writing “music with a crystalline kind of clarity and rhythmic urgency that places him among the more exciting of contemporary composers,” presents his debut full-length release on Ravello Records DOUBLE TAKES AND TRIPLE PLAYS. Featuring works spanning a 20-year period in the composer’s career, this album exemplifies Koykkar’s practical approach to writing, dictated by the bounds and the interplay within chamber ensemble combinations, occasionally using computer-generated sounds.

As the works on this album illustrate, Koykkar pulls influences from a variety of genres, from American music styles such as popular, jazz, rock, and blues music, to the Western European concert music tradition of the last three centuries. Pieces like Keyboard Dances incorporate blues and rock themes with a raucous quality reminiscent of early boogie-woogie piano music, while Interfacing and Triple Play use electronics to enhance the keyboard’s textures. Koykkar also includes programmatic works like Streets and Bridges, which depicts imagery of specific streets and places in Milwaukee from the composer’s past including Downer Avenue, Lafayette Place, and Brady Street.

Double Take - Joseph Koykkar
