Free and very good: Contemporary Music for Guitar by Jan Novák with the duo Lumen


Duo plays lumen Jan Novák "Rosarivm" Anyone who knows a little in contemporary music for guitar, knows that it contains for the most part more or less pronounced folk-references from the Spanish and Latin American regions. This is of course nothing wrong per se. Both cultures have a significant share of the expression of the modern guitar music of the 20th Century had, without Spanish and Latin American composers and performers, the scene would be much. much poorer. But - the reverse is of course wrong: guitar music must have decidedly not Spanish or Latin American roots. A very good example of the cycle "Rosarivm" by the Czech composer Jan Novák (1921-1984) is.
# MusicmondayDas Italian duo lumen (Matteo Rigotti and Mauro Tonolli) has now released these almost 20 minutes to the already exciting Italian netlabel Parafonica. "Rosarivm" is fascinating, complex, complex but generally accessible modern music neoclassic expression. Novák's interest in the Latin language (hence the Latin spelling of Rosarivm v for u) it also seems to have structurally influenced in his compositions, which are very organized, very well thought out and work it very artfully. The duo Lumen turns out in this publication as the best possible advocate for the music Novák. Here are two brand-rounder with a lot of commitment and expertise at work.
In my opinion this is one of the most important publications in the more manageable free classical music scene. "Rosarivm" is a good example for Jan Novák's virtually unknown, but worth discovering music that there is hardly any commercial publications - "Rosarivm" was according to my research, never recorded before, and published - is now available as a free download with a free CC license before: An unconditional recommendation for all fans of guitar music and contemporary works.

Hawk Eyes, hammering riffs from West Yorkshire


I've been surprised a couple of years with the degree of notoriety that is reaching music title the city of Leeds. In this town of West Yorkshire are emerging abundant and interesting formations that gradually are gaining a niche in an industry as competitive as the British alternative rock. My latest discovery emerged from this small town is a group that spent seven years in business. They call Hawk Eyes, premiered a third studio album earlier this year - "Ideas" - and have just launched the official video clip of his latest single, 'Headstrung'.

You hear the single and intuition in the same subjects from influences purely guitar McLusky up close certain records to the latest version of Thrice. On the other hand in certain strains of the song Astick Paul's voice is somewhat reminiscent of Brandon Boyd of Incubus moments warriors.


The teloneo of artists such as Cancer Bats, Kylesa, Sleigh Bells or Trash Talk and the launch of three different LPS and EPS have helped the band take a remarkable confidence going to get that meandering melody that characterizes his latest songs. Reviewing his latest album, listenable through Spotify, we have no doubt that the guys from Leeds are underperforming both the Reading Festival, where they will play in anything, or past Hard Rock Calling in London.

Between September and October Hawk Eyes will be playing in various parts of Scotland and the UK. If by chance these in that area do not hesitate to get close to rave with some of their live. All information in the list of concert dates on their official Facebook page.

The Gaslight Anthem....

 Shared Lives in the video for 'Handwritten'

 

I'm a fan of buying second-hand music. In each of the vinyl / Disc / 7 "I have gained is a piece of history of the lives of those who had saved, reproduced and spoiled before me. The Gaslight Anthem, which are real nostalgic in this sense, wanted to shoot a video clip homenajease those disks that pass from generation to generation. The production in question has been directed by filmmaker Kevin Slack and promoting the single 'Handwritten'.

The new album by The Gaslight Anthem will be released on July 24 but you can listen to streaming via NPR's website. Temazos any, and are of good ('Handwritten', 'Here Comes Your Man' or 'Keepsake') but there seems to be some ups and downs in the LP. Even so much attention we should do: we will draw later as a verdict as God intended.

We recall that The Gaslight Anthem will come to Barcelona (Sala Apolo) and Madrid (Sala Cats) 8 and 9 November, correspondingly. Tickets for both concerts can be purchased at 20 euros / or (no fee) through LiveNation's website.

Concert review: Curtain up and hats off to live at the Incubus concert hall


Incubus live at the Tonhalle in MünchenAm 12/07/2012 invited propeller Music with slightly cooler temperatures in the cult factory. In the authentic concert hall was one but immediately turned on the heat - a full hall and two rock bands were waiting for a musical audience.
After the tour cancellation in 2011, it did not take to Incubus to grace the verabsäumten tour stops this year and any resentment to make amends by presenting themselves as usual. Munich also could look up and "Are You In?" Simply had no answer needed.
For atmosphere provided at the beginning of the young musicians of fin. Not only the frog costume by guitarist Jonny Garner took care of baboon '- the practice of climbing singer Luke Joyce brought ape-like movements to day. With a lot of sweat and energy, the boys lay down on stuff to the Americans following duly initiated - after the show delivered by Incubus has also almost all inadequate.
Incubus live at the Tonhalle in MünchenNach behaved the entertaining presentation of the British in the amount of authentic Kultfabrik still quiet - but no later than heartthrob Brandon Boyd took the stage, there was no stopping them. That in the course of the concert, got rid of some clothes provided, not necessarily for the cooler air in the warm concert hall.
Against all fears that the concert is to speak softly like the new album, we were taught a lesson pretty quickly. In the traditional manner and with the finest funk-rock opened the guys from California a truly harmonious concert - with hits such as "Megalomaniac", "Nice To Know You" and "Anna Molly" was the rock of previous albums unpacked and went over well at dance-mad audience. And for convenience, it was the 'old men' in the music business really is not - Brandon Boyd swirls with a Shure Brothers micro across the stage and encourages the four guys in the background to play perfectly to the fore. Incubus is known today mainly for the psychedelic music - with new highlights such as "In The Company Of Wolves" Americans remain true to their roots.
Incubus live at the Tonhalle in MünchenUnd guitarist Mike Einziger as the romantic "drive" sang, the audience sat in the impressive choir, to accompany the entire song with enthusiasm. The few ballads like "I miss you" slams Brandon Boyd and his lion's mane in such a spirited manner that the audience was amazed noticeably excited. And what's better for a fan than to see how much fun the band makes the stage - and that created Incubus with special emphasis.
And the encores were the four thoroughbred musicians do not wait long, and sat down with a high-sounding jam on "Sick Sad Little World" on the crown. And Brandon Boyd's discretion, however, like the audience can still learn something. In the exemplary mood in the audience, some might have wished for a few more words from the band - but musicians are more likely to sing and make music as made for speaking.
You can tell that fans know the ancient texts and invite well-known tunes for dancing - Incubus was well aware that real fans wait in Munich on their true Incubus.

Ambient by Earlyguard



Friday Nicht only because the play "Monoku" of Early guard published yesterday on the compilation "Conception" from the new net label Free Floating a really nice addition to the previously mentioned tips, but also because the fact some of my other favorites ambient these days also with one piece are represented (Bing Satellites, Benjamin duration, Altus) and because there are so many to discover new artists. Free, well and truly a nice companion throughout the day (or night).
