for ease of use, mostly the piano (mainly Ludovico) is at the start, and ambient genres (predominantly, only Rhian!) at the end of the list.  IF YOU LIKE THEM, PLEASE ALSO BUY THEIR ALBUMS!!

This track is somewhat of a homage to both Hammock and Jonsi & Alex, 2 of my favorite acts.I wondered what a love child of these two bands might sound like.

Samuel Yirga is a young pianist from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, introduced to Real World Records through his involvement with the band Dub Colossus. He has only been playing piano for a little over 5 years and finished music school at the start of 2008, yet at the age of just 25 he has developed into a prodigy in Ethiojazz.  This track was recorded during his first ever visit to the UK whilst making the first Dub Colossus album.  Just before taking the trip to England a friend found him a piano, the first he has ever owned. “Most musicians don't have any instruments, so to be here (at Real World) is amazing.”  Back home he plays one night a week in Addis’s only jazz club/coffee bar, where the way he mixes Keith Jarrett and Herbie Hancock with Ethiojazz has won him a cult following already. “I take traditional music and turn it around, and people in Ethiopia are starting to listen to the way it swings now. Our musical culture is under attack from inside and out, it’s all rock bands, hip-hop groups and pop singers, and nobody can afford to run a big band. ”

Since that first trip Samuel has been touring internationally with Dub Colossus.  This December he has just finished recording his debut solo album due for release on Real World Records in 2011.

Composer from Wellington, New Zealand www.rhiansheehan.com

http://rhiansheehan.bandcamp.com/

Rhian Sheehan is an award-winning music producer and screen composer from New Zealand. Known for his fusion of atmospheric-post-rock with electronic and chamber music, he has released 6 albums and 2 EP’s on Loop Recordings (NZ/Aus), Darla (US), Preco (Japan). His 2013 release Stories From Elsewhere has received much praise; renowned US reviewer John Diliberto (Echoes) calling it “a modern ambient chamber music masterpiece of quietly epic dimensions". His 2018 album, A Quiet Divide, is his most orchestral album to date, merging chamber strings & piano, with emotionally charged cinematic post-rock atmospheres. Releasing the album alongside a 6 date audiovisual live tour around New Zealand, the album reached no.2 on the NZ Top 20.
"A Quiet Divide is an album that swallows you whole, and sends you out the other side a lighter, calmer version of yourself." - Sunday Star Times
His work as a screen composer is diverse, actively writing scores for a wide variety of film, television, documentary, advertising, multi-media exhibits, and 360o Fulldome Planetarium dome show projects around the world, having worked on projects featuring luminaries Andy Serkis, David Tennant, Tim Allen, Martin Scorsese, Rupert Grint, and Jared Leto.  He has written music featured on many notable TV shows and channels, including Top Gear (UK), the hit HBO series Silicon Valley, BBC Horizon, CNN, National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, History Channel, Netflix, America's Got Talent, and has written music featured during The US Super Bowl, and The Academy Awards.
Sheehan has composed music for various multimedia installations and exhibits around the world, including UK's National Space Centre, The Kennedy Space Center, London’s Natural History Museum, Ferrari World, World of WearableArt, and Weta Workshop. His score for the 12-part prime-time series The Cult won him a Qantas Film & TV Award (Best original music in a TV series), and he also wrote the score for the Emmy Award winning series Reservoir Hill. Sheehan’s music was used extensively during NBC’s prime-time coverage of the 2012 London Olympics, and he has written music featured in a variety of commercials, including spots for Google, Nike, GoPro, American Express, Sony Pictures, Universal Pictures, and Facebook. He has written for Hans Zimmer's custom music company Bleeding Fingers and Extreme Music. Sheehan has scored music for the acclaimed films Belief: The possession of Janet Moses and Stray, and more recently scored the mixed-reality AR steampunk inspired robot shooting game, Dr. Grordbort Invaders, produced by Magic Leap & Weta Workshop (Peter Jackson & Richard Taylor's award-winning special effects and prop company).
He has written scores for numerous UK and US produced 360o Fulldome 3D Planetarium shows, most notably, We Are Astronomers, We Are Aliens, We Are Stars (for which he was awarded Best Original Score at the Fiske Planetarium Awards), and Back To The Moon For Good, which was produced by Google XPRIZE, the UK National Space Centre, and Robert K. Weiss (producer of The Blues Brothers). Narrated by Tim Allen (Toy Story), Back To The Moon For Good is one of the most popular and watched Planetarium Dome shows ever made; having screened in over 450 Planetariums around the world.
