    (etre) - Inferno From My Occult Diary
    - "etre) is the project of Italian experimental musician Salvatore Borrelli and “Inferno From My Occult Diary” is his strongest work to date. (etre) layers a multitude of instruments, electronics and field recordings to create a dream like snap-shot of a particular time and place in his life. His musical approach is based on new and old methods of reworking soundscapes including minimalism, improvisation and electro-acoustic. Emotionally “Inferno From My Occult Diary” evokes a dark ritualistic tone but with cracks of warmth and humanity scattered about."

    - "Music has always played a central role in Werner Herzog’s art. For the director of such award-winning films as Grizzly Man and Woyzeck, the music is never an “add-on” but always an integral part of any creation, whether feature film or documentary. In 2004, Werner Herzog came to Munich to see Stefan Winter because he wanted to find some very special music for his films The Wild Blue Yonder and The White Diamond.Winter played him Ernst Reijseger’s recordings, and Herzog found what he was looking for. Herzog’s musical vision led to extraordinary recording sessions in Paris and Ludwigsburg with Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger, Senegalese vocalist Mola Sylla, and the Voches de Sardinna Tenore e Cuncordu de Orosei. An initially unlikely assemblage led to this powerful, unique, and extraordinary work. Uniting it with vintage recordings from Friedrich Händel’s “Dank sei dir Gott” featuring contralto Emmi Leisner, a very original score was produced. Ernst Reijseger and Stefan Winter remixed the music recorded for Herzog to create an autonomous album. Requiem for a Dying Planet is dedicated to this wonderful planet and the beauty of living."

  • Charlie Parker - Disc 8

    Loving this one; a lot of Afro-Cuban stuff; especially Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite. I hadn't realized Parker did so much in this area.

    There's a new Winter & Winter coming out this year that reunites Ernst Reijseger, Molla Sylla & Harmen Fraanje... the same trio that made one of the best album of 2013...

    - Thanks,
    "Down Deep" seems to be unavailable on €music.

    I've been hovering around the latest Winter & Winter addition for some time:

    Notes From The Label:
    "In Spring 1996 I visited a music fair for the first time. Many aspects of this sort of event, in which instruments and electronic equipment are tried out, and musical presentations of all kinds take place at the same time, where the curiosity of the customers, the inflated sales pitch of the producers, the polyphony of noises and sounds and the incessant professional patter all mix into an unimaginable polyphony, inspired me to make this composition."

    - "5Uus is one of the more perplexing bands limning the rock-in-opposition/prog rock ethos and also one of the most inventive. The group's music displays vigorous bouts of energy amid a refined and literate sense of wordplay. Lyrics are free of the political baggage clinging to Dagmar Krause's similarly penned poetics and reflective of a playful sense of both the bizarre and the Byzantine--via Lewis G. Carroll's looking-glass. Thankfully, 5UUs swathes its ornate words in an equally hyper-intense and near-psychedelic aura of shrill guitars, keyboards that test the limits of 88-key endurance, and tumbling avalanches of percussive variants.

    The presence of guest Thomas DiMuzio, who contributes his own crazed collection of electronic paraphernalia to the soup, only exacerbates an already frenzied atmosphere. Nursery rhymes somehow find themselves led lemming-like through a forest perilous of King Crimsonesque nuclear bursts, while sweet harmonies hint at a parallel-universe Yes and Henry Cow/Art Bears chamber-rock pyrotechnics. HUNGER'S TEETH is an unsettling yet cathartic trip for the metabolically challenged."
