This is a deeply emotional and soulful song.  It packs a punch from the outset.

A track for Naviar Records weekly haiku challenge, making a track in response to the haiku posted within one week. I wanted to capture the feeling of watching the rain hit the windows during a storm on a spring day. I also think the piece has a slightly medieval feel to it.

Rain In Spring (naviarhaiku394) - Adrian Lane

The Altomonte Ensemble, consisting of Rémy Ballot, violin, the violinist Iris Schützenberger, the violists Stefanie Kropfreiter and Peter Aigner and the cellist Jörgen Fog, presents two chamber music works by Anton Bruckner: the string quartet, composed 1861/62 at the suggestion of Joseph Hellmesberger, and the string quintet, composed in 1878/79, which is considered the highlight of Bruckner's chamber music oeuvre. The latter work was premiered by Hellmesberger and his extended quartet only after prolonged hesitation, since he originally had considered it in part as unplayable. The quintet has quite symphonic dimensions in terms of length and complexity. After the mentioned performance in 1884, a music critic wrote about the 3rd movement of the work: "This Adagio has an effect as if were something that had only been now unearthed in the vestiges of Beethoven's papers... a deeply felt work, inspired by inspiration and stemming from the composer's final years."

Altomonte Ensemble & Rémy Ballot - Streichquartett c-Moll WAB 111 (IV Rondo. Schnell)

Movement V of my piece Anthology for string quartet, piano, and percussion, commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Portland, OR based fEAR no Music. This is them, including Inés Voglar on violin, Joël Belgique on viola, and Joel Bluestone on percussion. Inspired by the music/sound of the Pixies in general, and the song "River Euphrates" in particular.

V. Gigantic Wave Of Bossanova

Movement VI. from my piece Anthology, for string quartet, piano, and percussion...with some electronics in mvmnts. I. and VI. Commissioned by the Barlow Endowment for Portland, OR-based fEAR no Music. This movement is inspired by Radiohead and I suppose Paul Lansky since it features the chord progression Radiohead lifted from the Lansky piece mild und liese for their song "Idioteque." It's a somewhat chill and contemplative conclusion to an otherwise virtuosic and often rambunctious piece.

Xa nhau tháng năm nào
Đợi nhau trong gió mưa rào
Vượt qua cơn lốc, ôi đêm Saigon
Loay hoay bếp ban chiều
Còn mê man những cánh diều
Tội đêm vắng Saigon
Saigon đêm nay không một tiếng cười
Saigon đêm nay không một bóng người
Saigon cô đơn âm vang khúc nhạc
Saigon đêm vắng, anh lại nhớ em
—-
Xe đông phố lên đèn
Giờ tan ca bấm tiếng kèn
Chạy nhanh đưa đón, mau mau đi về
Loay hoay cũng hết ngày
Còn đâu phố xá đông đầy
Giờ đêm vắng Saigon
Saigon đêm nay yên lặng bất ngờ
Saigon đêm nay sao lại thẩn thờ
Saigon khi nao ta gọi tiếng chào
Saigon khi đó lại ấm như xưa
Saigon đêm nay không một tiếng cười
Saigon đêm nay không một bóng người
Saigon cô đơn âm vang khúc nhạc
Saigon đêm vắng, anh lại nhớ em

Saigon Đêm Vắng (viết cho Saigon trong lệnh giới nghiêm)

This is the third and final piece in my series for the string quartet. I have made an attempt to break free from convention and compose with little regard for key or scale. I did not fully succeed because I am so firmly wedded to my more 'romantic' musical leanings. I think I have accomplished something of a 'meeting of minds' between the traditional and the avant garde. WHat do you reckon?

Rainy Daydream

String Quartet No. 3 'Semplice' Op. 30 (2020)

With help from music director Dani Garay, a piece for string quartet that I wrote ten years ago has been given new life: like a string orchestra, with a realistic range of instrumental sounds and dynamics, and a new ending. There is a childlike quality in some sections of "Autumn Tale," while other passages sound more serious, more truly classical.

Autumn Tale / Cuento de otoño

One of five original twelve-tone pieces, arranged here for string quartet where I explore a relationship with dissonance, the seeming randomness of atonal writing and what might sound pleasing. 

Given the parallels of our socio/economic conditions today to those of the Weimar Period, I wanted to become better acquainted with the writing and artwork of the time as a reaction to what may be considered the conservative romanticism of empire. 

In my original cover art for this EP I also wanted to capture the architectural style of the era.

Als österreichischer Ableger des tschechisch/englischen Schallplattenproduzenten gleichen Namens wurde Gramola im Jahr 1924 in Wien gegründet und ist seit damals in allen Tätigkeitsbereichen rund um die Klassische Musik aktiv. Der Schwerpunkt hat sich in den letzten Jahren auf die CD-Produktion verlagert und Gramola ist mit etwa 30 Produktionen jährlich schon seit einiger Zeit Österreichs Klassikproduzent mit der höchsten Produktionsrate. Gramola hatte zunächst natürlich die großen Komponisten der Wiener Klassik, wie Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven und Schubert, im Focus. Im Vordergrund der Produktionsaktivitäten steht jetzt aber auch die Förderung junger österreichischer Musiker und nicht zuletzt die Zusammenarbeit mit "Exilarte", die sich der Musik ermordeter und exilierter Komponisten widmet.

Anouska Taylor is a British singer, songwriter and performer with a varied and eclectic musical upbringing and career.

Anouska finds it hard to pigeon-hole herself musically because she began her journey as a classically trained singer before moving into the world of musical theatre. Meanwhile at home she was exposed to some of the greatest soul, RnB, Motown singers and rock bands in the world, while simultaneously growing up in an era of Britpop and house music.

She spent 12 years living in Melbourne, Australia performing at some of their best music venues and theatres including the Melbourne Recital Centre, Chapel off Chapel and the Thornbury Theatre.

Anouska has always been deeply moved by the beauty and power of both strings and acoustic piano. This passion is reflected in her debut single Feels Like Home where she accompanies herself on a stunning Fazioli grand piano and is joined by a beautiful string quartet.

Anouska effortlessly captivates the listener with her soulful, powerful, dynamic, emotive voice and her debut release is no exception.
