Natalie Jordan @nataliejordan is a radio programmer, music archivist, and student of human rights and public health. She finds solace in the songs of civil rights, anti-war, unions, vegetable farmers, and all of the other peacemakers working towards a better tomorrow. You’ll find that she is most inspired by the sights and sounds of Greenwich Village in the 1960’s and seeks to keep the folk tradition alive and well.

Reflections

South London-based 8-piece band Don't Problem is proud to present their new single 'CD's Lament', lifted from their forthcoming album planned for spring 2021.

With their new album, the combo challenges the common perception of a "covers" brass band, exclusively writing original material and adding electronics, synths & strings, a reflection of their wide encompassing interests. They introduce us to a very personal journey; the moment in time where a brass band affirms their love for club culture and delivers an album that travels from heavy funk to psychedelic jazz and UK dance music.

"‘CD’s Lament’ is an homage to Craig David. The single started with a chord and melody idea inspired by Garage music. Through our workshop-style rehearsals, this morphed into other heavy brass sections that are synonymous with our sound" says the band.

Premiere: Don't Problem - CD's Lament

Le Discograph est un rendez vous qui a lieu 4 fois dans l'année à La Passerelle, scène nationale de Saint-Brieuc avec pour chaque soirée une thématique.

Parfois omniprésente, toujours essentielle, la musique de films est un art délicat : elle se doit d’accompagner avec finesse et caractère les images à l’écran. Mais au-delà de son apport esthétique, c’est un langage à part entière, au fort pouvoir émotionnel sur le spectateur.

S’appuyant sur des morceaux spécialement composés pour des bandes originales de films, Julien Tiné nous propose une sélection de ses thèmes musicaux préférés. C'est pour la musique elle-même ou par amour des films - et bien souvent les deux ! - que les choix se sont faits. Des compositeurs tels qu'Ennio Morricone, Philippe Sarde ou Vladimir Cosma auraient pu valoir à eux seuls un mix, les B.O. de films de genre tels que les films d'horreur ou la blaxploitation également.

On peut se perdre assez vite dans cet univers alors… laissez-vous aller à cette B.O. imaginaire !

Discograph "Musique de films"

The Mirror Ball Test are a 7-piece band finding a home in Manchester, England. 

Drawing influences from across the musical spectrum, we play ambient and intricate instrumental pieces collaborated on and brought to life by Ali Craig on guitar, Ben Price on bass, Ruben Milner-Edwards on drums, Liviu Gheorghe on keys, Aaron Wood on trumpet, Jimmy Stuttard on tenor sax, and Josh Poole on Alto Sax.

Formed in 2017,  The Mirror Ball Test is a collaborative project taking compositions and arrangements by guitarist Ali Craig, and bringing them to life with the talents of some of Manchester's finest musicians. The music is an exploration of the world through psychedelic interpretations, and grounded in melodic and layered soundtracks. We have always aimed to include a strong visual element with our music, and work with artists such as Sølar, Hippiezilla, and more around the UK.
