'A moving, engrossing piece' — Clash

Emmy award-winning composer Michael Price shares the beautiful new piece Sandham, taken from his forthcoming album Tender Symmetry released on August 31 with Erased Tapes.

The ambitious musical project takes in a series of iconic National Trust locations across the UK as its inspiration, turning them into unlikely recording spaces. Michael and a host of musicians and collaborators — including soprano Grace Davidson (featured on Max Richter’s Sleep) and Shards (the choir on Nils Frahm’s All Melody) — travelled across the country in pursuit of places far removed from the traditional studio to create seven unique and moving pieces.

"Sandham Memorial Chapel, built in the 1920s, is both a place of reflection and healing, but also a timely reminder, though the extraordinary paintings of Stanley Spencer, of the horrors of war. Stepping out of the fragrant wild-flower garden and into the cool, naturally-lit interior of the chapel was a transportation to a time early in the last century where young men and women were either inflicting terrible injuries on each other, or tenderly caring for those wounds. A place that is both uniquely of the First World War, and utterly contemporary." — Michael Price

The diversity of Michael Price’s choices ranges from the ruins of Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire to the Fan Bay WWII shelter, cut deep into the chalk cliffs of Dover. All owned by the National Trust save one, each venue became both the inspiration and the recording studio for Michael Price and his accompaniment of renowned musical ensembles, choirs and soloists.

"I am interested in where we build our homes in an increasingly virtual world and the spirit of place we feel as we walk our local streets, our schools, temples and public spaces. Taking inspiration from a place, and the stories it told, then going back to that place to record, sometimes in less than ideal conditions, made the two-year adventure much more like shooting a film than making a record.” — Michael Price

Michael Price will premiere Tender Symmetry live at London’s Kings Place on September 6.

The blade of righteousness is sharpest when tempered with mercy. Choral clusters overlap with passionate violin and string sections to tell the story of a young heart that yearns to fulfill the promises of past legends. Brass and percussion enter in the second movement to capture the courage of they who wish to place their names in the songs of tomorrow.

Rise, hero, and create your destiny.

Joe Hisaishi in Budokan (久石譲in武道館 Hisaishi Jo in Budoukan?) was a concert given on 4 and 5 (plus an added performance on 6) August 2008 at Tokyo's 14,000-seat Nippon Budoukan venue commemorating both the Japanese theatrical premiere of Ponyo and the 25 years of musical collaboration between composer Joe Hisaishi and film maker Hayao Miyazaki.

This massive concert featured performances of these signature Miyazaki film scores composed by Hisaishi, conducting from the piano, and the 200-member New Japan Philharmonic World Dream Orchestra, along with six featured vocalists, the 800 combined voices of the Ippan Koubo, Ritsuyuukai and Little Singers of Tokyo choirs, plus a 160-piece marching band. Altogether there were some 1160 musicians and singers on stage, backed by images from Miyazaki's films projected on a giant screen.

These performances were recorded and broadcast by NHK in two versions - an edited 1-hour version aired on NHK on 31 August, and the full concert aired on the NHK satellite channel BS2 on 23 September 2008. Walt Disney Studios Home Entertainment released R2 DVD and Blu-ray versions of this 2-hour concert in Japan on 3 July 2009.

Here - An Ancient Magus' Bride Orchestration (Ft. Seycara)

20180726 Chopin Impromptu Op66 (cropped)

Los efímeros (The ephemeral ones) is the last album of the Argentinian composer and sound artist Ulises Conti. This orchestral work divided in 10 small movements was recorded in 2018 in the auditorium of the Usina del Arte in Buenos Aires. This project with fifteen musicians in scene, whose chamber music reminiscences represents the most classical side of the composer, seems to be the answer to his previous works; among which after a long way of varied styles, goes from electronic music IDM, ambient and field recordings to solo piano pieces.

Over the years, Ulises Conti has developed personal projects as the lecture performance, the soundwalks and concerts for an audience of one; but also works in collaboration with more than fifty soundtracks for dance, films and theatre plays. Nevertheless, Los efímeros is his neoclassical statement; where it outlines his predilection for the French horn, harp, viola and bassoon.
