Victoriana (2013 Version)

Ed Haydon's beautiful piano piece "Hope" was one of my absolute favourite pieces from the Piano Cloud group in 2013. So when we launched a new challenge to record a cover version of another member's music, it was an obvious and immediate choice. 

Rather than simply reproduce the piece in the same way that Ed himself recorded it, I have used his notation as a start point and made some subtle changes. I have added extensions to the chords and re-voiced them, embellished the melody in places and added additional runs and doodles. There's a new ending too. These changes give the piece an "Andrew Eales flavour", while staying true, I hope, to Ed's original vision for the piece.

One of the reasons Ed Haydon's "Hope" was such a great track was its simplicity though, and I realise that by adding complexity I have created a version which is distinct. You may in any case prefer the original, which I encourage you to listen to here:

It's Friday melodic people and it's time for our "In Depth" Guest Mix. Today we're so happy and proud to present this amazing set by Nølah, producer & dj from Barcelona (Spain).

Info, inquiries: promo@melodicdeep.com

INFOS:

Nølah is a talented producer and DJ from Lleida -northern city of Catalonia near the Pyrenees- although she has settled now her residence in Barcelona.
Her passion for the music started at the early age of 7, studying classical music and then, after a while later, being part of a rock band as a guitarist and composer. This whole path of experiencing and learning can be perceived in her particular sound.
But nevertheless, her greatest influence and stronger connection ever is undoubtedly electronic music. Nølah is very into hypnotic and warm melodies. Picturesque club patterns, bass booms and kick-ass beats are essential ingredients in her compositional work too. All this assembled together, flowing and functioning on an intuitive level perfectly reflects her personality behind the machines. Whether performing live or composing in the recording studio. Emotional, mystic, pleasant and with a remarkable passion for uplifting techno.
Her tracks have reached outstanding positions in the Top 100 chart of Beatport, including her first release '' Fedra '' on Parquet Recordings, which reached #30 of this very digital platform (progressive chart). She has also released on other imprints such as Click Records, Tulipa Recordings, Hopeless or Submarine Vibes.
Nølah has attracted the attention of all electronic dance music fans, even more of those passionate about clubs sounds performed with synthesizers and other analogue machines, thanks to the performance at Pont Du Gard for the famous French TV Channel Cercle, with more than half a million views. She has also played live in some of the most important clubs and festivals in Europe such as Wanderlust (Paris), Ritter Butzke (Berlin), Hypnos Hall (Istanbul), Kite (Ankara), Ibiza Beach Festival (Belgium), La Terrrazza (Barcelona), City Hall (Barcelona).

MELODIC DEEP IN DEPTH PODCAST #026 / NØLAH

"Elusive pop fantasias, and intentionally so." - Pitchfork

"Unquestionably multi-talented as well as multilingual... wqe should all be grateful that Miho Hatori speaks the universal language of music so fluently." - Impose

NYC's rare and inimitable talent New Optimism (aka Japanese musician Miho Hatori, co-founder of the beloved Cibo Matto and a collaborative partner of Gorillaz, Beastie Boys, John Zorn, etc) releases her vibrant debut EP Amazon To LeFrak on July 27th through Phantom Limb.

New Optimism is Miho’s newest project, a vivid, unpredictable and technicolour sonic palette that shapeshifts mercurially around grooving basslines, subtle electronica, leftfield sound explorations and playful experimental pop.
 
New Optimism can be seen as a natural landing point for Miho's past musical journeys - strange and wonderful, encompassing pop, experimental, hip-hop and dance music: her work with Beck's backing musicians may have contributed to the brightly-coloured avant-soul of Amazon To LeFrak; her time as a Gorillaz member (Miho was the voice of cartoon band-member Noodle) offers a window into the intelligent, mischievous pop songwriting heard in New Optimism's structure-toying and Miho’s infectious singing voice. The strains of Caribbean/Brasilo-beat littered through the record are evidence of Miho's fascination with Latin music and follow her curveball 2003 bossanova duet album with Smokey Hormel. The additional production credits of ex-Vampire Weekend member Rostam [Batmanglij] enter the mix as noise-driven synth lines and bubbling percussion.

Miho writes that the name for her project acts as a response to the post-postmodernist term "New Sincerity", pertaining to contemporary anti-cynical and anti-ironical earnest creative expressions. "New Optimism", as a title, means the opposite of this, says Miho.

Amazon To LeFrak was written and produced with recording collaborators in a handful of key New York studios around Miho's multiple other projects, including mixtapes for RVNG Intl.'s Commend store in Manhattan and numerous sound design compositions and installations.

Miho will be performing live at Basilica SoundScape 2018, held in New York's Hudson Valley on September 14-16th, alongside Lightning Bolt, Grouper, Haxan Cloak x Nick Zinner and more.

James Vella formed Phantom Limb in June 2017 after eight years in A&R for FatCat Records. Mark Pearse (ex-head of contemporary music programming at the Royal Albert Hall) and Ken Li (formerly UK/EU senior publicist at Thrill Jockey) joined the team shortly after.

New Optimism - Jet Setters

Chee Shimizu has a kind of Zen approach to things, including records. In an interview with Aaron Coultate, Chee remarked: “I don't feel the need to own stuff. I don't get joy from owning records. I'm just happy to listen to them, not to own them.”. And we are happy to share this mix with you: The highly-esteemed Tokyo selector joined Phantom Island’s very own Kejeblos at Kraftfeld in Winterthur. Feel-good summer vibes for everyone.

This song took a while. I am to blame for it. 
We have Ed (@livra-lamento-blues) with emotional vocals and AL (@al-z-z-z)on his wonderful lead guitar, and on top of that, Evan Sidawi with his mixing and mastering skills. Enjoy!
______
In loneliness
In the dark
Nothing could be worse than us apart
I don't wanna let you down
With my mood swings and impulsive acts
So I have to hide my soul … in that dark cellar … you know
Your judgments always make me sick
But you're just a player not a judge
And why drag these heavy chains if we wanna be light as the breeze

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Your constructions are so unreal
So you punish me with how you feel
Your convictions instead of trust
You don't believe but I know you're wrong
I'm used to these shadowy paths 
But it's different now … always different anyway
And the truth became a stranger 

Fight is over … both lost
It's not a fair game … just a farce 
We're all poisoned … until when?  
The court is bluffing … witness lies 
The judge is drinking … with those bad guys
The scenes are faked … all the time 
And all I wanna is hold you tight

Light enters through the cracks
Of this room full of dust
Hell, I don't belong here
Oh my ground needs to rise

Rise, feat. Livra LB on Vocals, Al Z on Lead and Evan Sidawi on Mixing and Mastering

MAKE ME SMILE (Come Up And See Me)
written by Steve Harley in 1975

You've done it all, you've broken every code
And pulled the rebel to the floor
You spoiled the game, no matter what you say
For only metal, what a bore

Blue eyes, blue eyes
How can you tell so many lies ?

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

There's nothing left, all gone and run away
Maybe you'll tarry for a while
It's just a test, a game for us to play
Win or lose, it's hard to smile

Resist, resist
It's from yourself you have to hide, oh

Come up and see me, to make a-me smile, oh
Or do what you want, run on wild

There ain't no more, you've taken everything
From my belief in Mother Earth
Can you ignore my faith in everything ?
'Cause I know what faith is and what it's worth

Away, away
And don't say maybe you'll try, oh oh oh

To come up and see me to make a-me smile
Or do what you want, just run on wild

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

Come up and see me, make me smile
Or do what you want, running wild

mOag - make me smile [Steve Harley & COckney Rebel cOver]
