GUY VAN NUETEN: CHECK DE CLIP/SINGLE UIT 'MUSIC FOR A SMALL ORCHESTRA', SOUNDTRACK VOOR DE FILM NEDERLANDS-IERSE FILM 'MILO'

Guy Van  Nueten: Music for a Small Orchestra, een soundtrack voor de Nederlands Ierse film ‘Milo’.
Album nu verkrijgbaar – Check de clip van ‘Milo’ ter kennismaking.

Guy Van Nueten - klassiek geschoold muzikant - voorstellen is misschien overbodig. Zijn verleden is bekend als songschrijver & producer bij ‘The Sands’, als pianist op zowat alle dEUS-platen en ontelbare belgische albums, van zijn dubbel-album met (Tom) Barman&VanNueten, als hedendaags componist & auteur van een piano solo trilogie. Maar Van Nueten is ook reeds jaren in de weer als componist van muziek voor theater, dansvoorstellingen en film (zie de factsheet in bijlage).  Zijn jongste wapenfeit is ‘Music for a Small Orchestra’, een soundtrack voor de film Nederlands Ierse film ‘Milo’die uitkwam in 2012.
“Music for a Small Orchestra is een cd die je gevangen houdt in een fuik waar het fijn toeven is. Het vormt na Merg en Pacman weer een nieuw hoogtepunt in Van Nuetens oeuvre.” Ramsey Nasr.
«Pianiste subtil, Guy Van Nueten joue sur la corde des émotions avec délicatesse sans tomber dans les habituels débordements dégoulinants hollywoodiens. » (Thierry Coljon, Le Soir)
"Guy behoort tot de zeldzame muzikanten die wars van alle trends zijn tijdloze idioom weet vol te houden." (Mauro Pawlovski)

‘Music For A Small Orchestra’ is het nieuwe album van Guy Van Nueten (met 20 koppig orkest) is uit op diens eigen Bolli Records (digitaal&CD).
‘MFASO – OST Mio’ is dus geen nieuwe worp in de Merg Trilogie maar een op zich staand album.
 
Catnr BOLLI 0006: Producer Guy Van Nueten, edited byLola Montez, mixed by Frank Duchêne, mastered by Gert Van Hoof, directed by Dirk De Caluwe, session leader Stoffel de Laat.

Music for a Small Orchestra ontstaansgeschiedenis.

Begin 2011 stuurde productiehuis ‘A Private View’ regisseurs Roel en Berend Boorsma op pad om een heleboel Belgische componisten te bezoeken en van gedachten te wisselen. Het was een fijne ontmoeting en direct nadat de regisseurs in hun wagentje waren gestapt om terug naar Amsterdam te rijden schrijft Van Nueten neer wat later het hoofdthema van de film zal worden.
Het verhaal over een kind dat onderdrukt wordt en vervolgens van huis wegloopt heeft hem aangegrepen. Drie weken later levert hij een demo af, wordt vervolgens gevraagd om de muziek te schrijven en aanvaardt de opdracht.  Beide regisseurs moedigen hem aan ‘teveel’ te schrijven om in de eindmixage opties te hebben. Producent San Fu Maltha is – nadat Van Nueten de muziek voor hem gespeeld heeft – enthousiast en vraagt aan de componist om de muzikale productie op zich te nemen. Dit heeft mede geleid tot dit album. Van Nueten kan een team samenstellen met mensen die hij hoog inschat en waardeert en de opnames verlopen in een sfeer van wederzijds respect en vertrouwen, wat het hoge muzikale niveau van dit album verklaart.
 
Guy Van Nueten is een Belgische componist, pianist en producent.
 
Hij begint piano te spelen op 5-jarige leeftijd, waarop hij door zijn moeder naar de plaatselijke muziekschool wordt gebracht. Als gevolg hiervan kon hij eerder noten lezen dan letters. Rond zijn 15 jaar begint hij zich met pop- en rockmuziek bezig te houden en na zijn studies wiskundige economie gooit hij zich volledig op een muzikale carrière.
Hij concentreert zich op het schrijven van songs en schrijft voor zijn toenmalige band ‘The Sands’ ondermeer de belpop-klassieker ‘April & June’, een song die al meer dan 20 jaar op de radio te horen is en steevast in de ‘top-100 Belgische songs aller tijden’ van het tijdschrift Knack opduikt.  Hun debuut-cd wordt opgenomen in de Verenigde Staten en wereldwijd uitgebracht door Universal. Vervolgens toert de groep doorheen Europa, o.a. met John Cale.
Rond 1998 is een muzikale koerswijziging voor hem een noodzaak geworden: hij schrijft zich in aan het conservatorium voor compositie en harmonie en wordt pianistiek onder handen genomen door de internationaal gerenommeerde pedagoog Jacques De Tiège. Een episode waarover Van Nueten nu zegt: ‘Vroeger speelde de piano met mij, nu speel ik piano.’
Na deze koerswijziging bouwt hij een reputatie op als componist voor theater, dans en film. Hij componeert voor de bekendste theaterhuizen uit de Benelux zoals Toneelhuis, Toneelgroep Amsterdam, Les Ballets C de la B, de Filharmonie, tPaleis enz. Verder componeert hij o.m. voor filmregisseurs Koen Mortier (‘Ex-Drummer’) en Alex Stockman (‘Eva’ en ‘Pulsar’) Verder is hij een veelgevraagd sessiemuzikant, te horen op cd’s van Admiral Freebee, Daan, dEUS, Magnus, Tim Vanhamel, Zita Swoon, e.a.
In de herfst van 2009 brengt hij het prachtige ‘Merg’ uit, een hedendaags klassiek solo-album met verwijzingen naar o.a. barok en zijn held J.S. Bach, en met songtitels als ‘Adagio niet in B’, ‘Agressie Var.1’ of ‘Impro De Vrucht’. Dit album wordt in 2013 opgevolgd door het intrigerende ‘Pacman’, volgens cobra.be ‘tijdloos en wars van alle trends’, volgens Dimitri Verhulst (in Humo) ‘beste cd van 2013’.

TOUT VA BIEN AANGEDUID ALS DÉ BELGISCHE VERTEGENWOORDIGER VAN DE VRT/STUDIO BRUSSEL OP HET EUROSONIC SHOWCASE FESTIVAL!

25/9/2015

Picture
Nieuwe single Oklahoma Skies wordt volgende week naar radio gebracht.

Tout Va Bien speelt op vrijdag 15 januari alvast in de prachtige Stadsschouwburg in Groningen. Eurosonic is hét festival waar menig talentvolle band ontdekt werd: denk de laatste jaren onder andere maar aan Sam Smith, Bastille, Dotan, Ibeyi, James Blake, Hozier, Royal Blood, Seinabo Sey, Jake Bugg, … In dat mooie rijtje zal Tout Va Bien niet misstaan.

Het is in ieder geval een fantastisch jaar geweest voor Tout Va Bien. Zijn uitstekend onthaald debuutalbum Kepler Star injecteerde een portie sferische pracht in het trommelvlies en de lead-single ‘This Fight’ was naast Studio Brussel’s Hotshot ook een Afrekening-hit die maanden over het radionet golfde. Dé hoogtepunten waren toch wel de passages op  Rock Werchter 2015 – een overvolle Klub C en mét het koor! – en de Wablieft op Pukkelpop. Ook dit najaar én begin 2016 gaat het sprookje van Tout Va Bien verder met een aantal heel fijne clubshows, waarvan de eerste in de AB Club alvast uitverkocht is:

 

•         30/09: AB Club – Brussel (SOLD OUT)
•         30/10: Trix – Antwerpen - tickets
•         31/10: Turn Out City Night – De Warande – Turnhout - tickets
•         16/01: Het Depot – Leuven - tickets
•         04/12: Brakke Grond – Amsterdam (NL) - tickets

Tijdens de opnames van ‘Kepler Star’ in LA schoot niemand minder dan Michael Reich (clips voor bijvoorbeeld Ryan Adams:  http://imvdb.com/video/ryan-adams/gimme-something-good) beelden. Die worden nu gemonteerd tot een video die we binnen een kleine drie weken mogen verwachten.

NIGHTMAN – EERSTE VIDEO VAN 12-DELIGE REEKS

25/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Tijs Delbeke, man van duizend-en-één instrumenten en minstens zoveel projecten, staat op het punt om zijn eerste soloplaat af te leveren. Onder zijn alterego NIGHTMAN brengt hij de rauwe, ongepolijste sound van de 90’s weer tot leven. Zijn eerste solo-album, Chapters,  klinkt als een zwoele trip doorheen de nacht en bezingt het leven van een NIGHTMAN in 12 hoofdstukken.
Opmerkelijk is dat NIGHTMAN de ontdekking van zijn muziek naar een nieuw innoverend niveau brengt door het releasen van een tweewekelijkse video estafette die bij de songs hoort, te beginnen op 25 september.
Delbeke is op de plaat zelf te horen op zowat elk instrument; live zal NIGHTMAN zich laten omringen door een setje topmuzikanten, die ook de intimistischere nummers van de nodige power voorzien.

ROBIN SCHULZ BRENGT VANDAAG NIEUW ALBUM 'SUGAR' UIT

24/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
“Germany’s biggest pop star and world-renowned DJ goes by the name of Robin Schulz.” – Stern

“This time Robin Schulz’s latest hit ‘Sugar’ is not a remix of someone else’s song. Instead he chose to build on someone else’s track, thus making it even better.” – SZ Magazin

“And along came Robin Schulz to slip good songs into an electronic outfit.” – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

“Whatever he touches turns into gold, literally!” – BILD

On SUGAR , Robin Schulz performs a uniquely delicate balancing act between electronic and pop music, like few of his peers. Schulz embodies the zeitgeist initially summoned by the worldwide club scene, but which has now outgrown dance culture in its pure form and evolved into a hybrid, at home in specialized press and features sections alike. Whatever passes through his hands is turned into precious metal in record time.
Robin Schulz has created his very own, genre-transcending and highly recognizable sound: Deep house with organic instruments, always accompanied by a certain melody. Though Schulz doesn’t see himself as much of a melodic type. SUGAR is Schulz taking the next step and delivering his own brand of sweetness to the dancefloor. While his debut Prayer featured various remakes of songs by other artists, SUGAR is composed of his own productions. Schulz uncut. Robin Schulz has expanded his sound and finetuned it to create the greatest possible diversity, ranging from catchy radio tunes to danceable club tracks.

His current single was quick to reach gold: Sugar (feat. Francesco Yates) is the third #1 single that also entered the German single charts, streaming charts, airplay charts and iTunes charts at #1, besides generating several million Spotify streams and counting. The song’s official music video is currently ranked among the most-watched clips on YouTube and was recently voted one of the “5 Best Dance Videos Of The Week” by music service Shazam, while Robin Schulz’s YouTube channel is officially the most successful German YouTube channel in the area of music.

JEAN-MICHEL JARRE BRENGT NIEUW ALBUM UIT OP 16 OKTOBER

24/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
ean-Michel Jarre wordt beschouwd als een van de pioniers van elektronische muziek en zijn nieuwe album “Electronica Part 1: The Time Machine” (release 16/10/2015) is zijn meest ambitieuze project tot nu toe. Hij beschrijft zijn werk als een encyclopedie van de elektronische muziek. “Electronica” is een project dat bestaat uit 2 luiken,waarvan het tweede deel uitkomt in de lente van 2016.
 
Jarre ging voor dit album aankloppen bij oa AIR, Massive Attack, Moby,Tangerine Dream, John Carpenter, Gesaffelstein, Vince Clarke (Depeche Mode,Erasure), M83, Boys Noize, Pete Townshend (The Who), Armin van Buuren etc..
 
JMJ: "I've wanted to tell a story for a while regarding electronic music history and its legacy from my point of view and experience, from when I started to nowadays. So I planned to compose for and collaborate with an array of artists who are, directly or indirectly linked to this scene, with people I admire for their singular contribution to our genre, that represent a source of inspiration for me over the last four decades I have been making music, but who also have an instantly recognisable sound. At the outset, I had no idea how this project would evolve, but I was delighted that everybody I reached out to accepted my invitation."
 
De Franse producer stond er tijdens het maken van dit album op om met elke collaborator heel nauw samen te werken: hij maakte de basis van de song, liet hen dan ieder hun ding doen met het nummer, waarna ze samen het nummer afwerkten.
 
Moby: "It would be very easy for him to sit in Paris and just email with people and have them send things back. But to actually physically go to sit down with every one, on multiple occasions—to be in a studio with people and really push them to almost look at different parts of themselves as musicians… I think that really will make this album quite interesting. To me, it’s not just about electronic music collaborations, it’s about humans coming together and collaborating in a very unique way.”

Picture
In wereldpremière op het grote scherm op 22 oktober 2015.

2015 was ongetwijfeld het jaar van Ed Sheeran. De artiest boekte succes na succes met als kers op de taart een reeks uitverkochte concerten in het Wembley stadium in juli dit jaar. Die concerten worden nu gebundeld in Sheeran’s allereerste concertfilm Jumpers for Goalposts.

“Jumpers for Goalposts”
“Why would you call it that?”
“Because we keep movin’em”

Jumpers for Goalposts komt niet alleen uit op DVD, maar zal op 22 oktober ook te zien in cinemazalen over de hele wereld. De debuutconcertfilm van ’s werelds meest bekende singer-songwriter laat natuurlijk niet onopgemerkt aan zich voorbij gaan: op Leicester Square in Londen vindt met de première een uniek cinema-evenement plaats, inclusief rode loper en een exclusieve showcase van Ed Sheeran himself. Ook die liveshow zullen fans op 22 oktober via een livestream kunnen meevolgen vanuit een bioscoopzaal in hun eigen land.

Video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR4nF18vyTk&feature=youtu.be&eml=2015September24/2742238/6011938&etsubid=36261728

Jumpers for Goalposts bundelt de mooiste momenten van Ed’s drie uitverkochte shows in het Wembley Stadium in juli dit jaar, waar hij speelde voor maar liefst 80.000 uitgelaten fans. Je krijgt zijn allergrootste hits als “The A Team”, “Sing” en “Thinking Out Loud” te zien, maar ook een verrassingsduet met de grote Elton John staat op de film.

Naast een adembenemende reeks podiummomenten toont de concertfilm beelden van het leven on the road en mag de kijker binnen piepen in de backstage. Ed Sheeran deelt in Jumpers for Goalposts zijn persoonlijke avontuur en blikt openhartig terug op de veelbewogen periode waarin hij zijn dromen verwezenlijkte.

Met dit cinema-evenement wil Ed Sheeran fans van over de hele wereld uitnodigen om deel te nemen aan de première van zijn eerste concertfilm en samen met hem zijn succes te vieren, voor hij zijn doelen onvermijdelijk opnieuw verlegt. 

Tickets voor de première zijn vanaf vandaag te koop via www.edsheeranmovie.com. De film zal in België te zien zijn in Kinepolis Antwerpen, Brussel, Hasselt, Leuven, Luik, Imagibraine en Kortrijk.

Bay City Rollers Announce Comeback

23/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Rollermania is (kinda) back. The Bay City Rollers, Scotland’s tartan-touting ‘70s pop phenomenon who scored chart-topping hits on both sides of the Atlantic, is returning as a three-piece.
The reunited act features three of the group’s classic five-man lineup -- Les McKeown, Alan Longmuir and Stuart Wood -- who promised “a very special Christmas present to all the fans that have kept the faith with the band over the years” with a gig at Glasgow’s Barrowland Ballroom on Dec. 20.
Announcing the reunion at a press conference in Glasgow, singer McKeown told reporters, "You think we're doing it for money but we're doing it for the glory of Scotland and the glory of the tartan. 
"Taking the Scottish name all around the globe. That's what we're doing it for -- to see our fans again one more time." According to reports, they’ve been working on a new single, "Boomerang" and original bandmate Eric Faulkner is in the frame to rejoin the group sometime in the future.
The band, first known as the Saxons, scored a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with ‘Saturday Night’ in 1976, one of its three top 10s in the U.S. In the U.K., the group enjoyed No. 1s with ‘Bye Bye Baby’ and ‘Give a Little Love’ (both from 1975) and saw ten songs hit the Top 10. The band split in 1981. In 2007, six members of the Bay City Rollers launched a lawsuit accusing Arista Records of failing to pay millions of dollars in royalties. That legal case remains unresolved.
All told, the Rollers is said to have sold more than 100 million career albums during its career. (Bron: Billboard.com)

Jermaine Jackson has that ‘Summer Time Feeling’

23/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
It's been a spell since we've heard new music from Jermaine Jackson. A star as a member of the Jackson clan and also as a solo artist -- particularly in the 1980s when he had a series of big hits like ‘Let's Get Serious’ and ‘Do What You Do’.
Jermaine toured with his brothers over the past few years as a family act, but it is terrific to hear him back on record. And he ends the glorious summer season with a song that pays homage to some of its best moments. ‘Summer Time Feeling’ is a breezy acoustic number that captures the warm evening vibe of Smokey's ‘Cruisin'’ and features Beach Boys-worthy rich harmonies. It is a surprise release from the veteran soul man, but a welcome one.
Gather your loved one near you and catch a ‘Summer Time’ feeling with Jermaine Jackson. (Bron: Soultracks.com)

Picture
A Collaboration with the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and La Blogotheque.
 
In January 2016 Tindersticks will release their new album ‘The Waiting Room', a milestone not just numerically (their 10th), but musically and creatively. Their first studio album since 2012’s critically acclaimed  ‘The Something Rain'  (9/10 DiS, 8.1 pitchfork, 8/10 the Quietus, 8/10 DIY, 4/5 Guardian, 4/5 Independent on Sunday, 4/5 Uncut, 4/5 Q, 4/5 Observer) is the most ambitious, diverse and elaborate album you’ll have heard from Tindersticks in recent years. Two decades into their musical voyage Tindersticks, established masters of restraint and poetic human emotion, are a band now confidently creating the best songs of their career.
‘The Waiting Room' breathes gravity and features guest appearances by Jehnny Beth of Savages and a particularly poignant duet with dear lost friend of Stuart Staples, Lhasa De Sela. Its brass arrangements are by the great Julian Siegel and it comes dressed in a sleeve by legendary french photographer Richard Dumas.
 
Not only an album, an ambitious collaborative film project also - each track is accompanied by a short film, a visual interpretation by it's own director, featuring Christoph Girardet, Pierre Vinour, Claire Denis, Rosie Pedlow and Joe King, Gregorio Graziosi, Richard Dumas and Gabriel Sanna.

See and listen to the premiere track 'We are Dreamers!' here with the short film by Brazilian director Gabriel Sanna.
 
‘The Waiting Room’ will be available as a limited edition cd/dvd, lp /dvd and very limited clear vinyl LP/DVD through City Slang and a Konkurrent distribution.

RYAN ADAMS COVERT TAYLOR SWIFT

22/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Het wachten is over en de favoriete urban legend van het internet is nu een realiteit: sinds maandag is Ryan Adams’ cover album van Taylor Swift ‘1989’ beschikbaar op iTunes en streaming services.
 
Het was niet duidelijk of Adams bij zijn Twitter updates een grapje maakte of niet want de zanger is immers redelijk onvoorspelbaar en neemt al zijn muziek bloedserieus. Dus ook een integrale cover van ‘1989’, het laatste album van pop prinses Taylor Swift.
 
Adams maakte de nummers prachtig eigen in een mix van herfstige rocksongs met een zekere jaren tachtig-saus die nog redelijk trouw zijn aan hun originelen (Style, Welcome To New York) of gevoelige ballades (Out Of The Woods, Bad Blood). Mooie uitzondering is ‘Shake It Off’, oorspronkelijk upbeat en dansbaar en in Adams' handen een melancholische, Springsteen-achtige ballade.
Goed nieuws: dankzij Ryan Adams staat ‘1989 toch weer op Spotify, nadat Swift al haar werk eerder dit jaar terugtrok van de streamingdienst. Het album kan je hier beluisteren: http://spoti.fi/1LHR1rT

DE NIEUWE SINGLE VAN CLOUSEAU GEEFT 'ZIN OM TE BEWEGEN'

22/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Single : Zin Om Te Bewegen - vanaf vrijdag beschikbaar op iTunes en alle digitale (streaming)platformen

Album: voorjaar 2016
Woensdagochtend 23 september gaat de nieuwe Clouseau-single 'Zin Om Te Bewegen' in radio-première. 'Zin Om Te Bewegen' is een aanstekelijke up tempo popsong en het visitekaartje van een gloednieuw album (voorjaar 2016) dat snel, snedig, funky en dansbaar zal zijn. 'Zin Om Te Bewegen' is vanaf vrijdag 25 september beschikbaar op iTunes en alle digitale (streaming)platformen.

Kris Wauters: "We zijn zeer enthousiast over onze nieuwe single! "Zin Om Te Bewegen" is voor ons weer net helemaal anders dan alles wat we ervoor hebben gedaan en toch 100% Clouseau... Zelden zoveel opwinding gevoeld bij de lancering van een nieuw nummer!"
Eerder deze maand zetten Koen, Kris en een vijftigtal figuranten Hotel NH Gent Belfort op stelten voor de opname van de bijhorende videoclip. Fans kunnen hierin de Wauters-broers als rebellerende bell-boys aan het werk zien en toekijken hoe ze alle hotelgasten en personeel op sleeptouw nemen voor een swingend feestje doorheen de gangen van het hotel. De videoclip zal begin oktober haar première krijgen op de Facebookpagina van de band.

'Zin om te Bewegen' is de voorloper van een nieuw studio-album dat we in het voorjaar van 2016 mogen verwachten. Het laatste album tot nu toe, 'Clouseau', verscheen in november 2013 en kwam er na een muzikale sabbatperiode van drie jaar. Het album was het best verkochte Nederlandstalige album van 2014 en het vijfde best verkochte album van het jaar. Meer dan 35.000 exemplaren gingen over de toonbank (platinum). 'Clouseau' bevatte o.a. de hitsingles 'Vliegtuig', 'Kan Het Niet Alleen' en 'Laatste Keer'. 2014 was een succesjaar voor Clouseau met twee MIA-Awards (Beste Nederlandstalig en Beste groep), maar liefst vier uitverkochte Sportpaleizen en een uitgebreide tournee doorheen Vlaanderen.

Ook 2016 belooft een goedgevuld jaar te worden: naast een gloednieuw studio-album staat er opnieuw een indrukwekkende concerttour in de stijgers met haltes aan o.a. het Kursaal van Oostende, de Antwerpse Stadsschouwburg, het Capitole in Gent, de Oktoberhallen in Wieze en vele andere. Alle info vind je op http://tttartists.be/artists/clouseau/agenda. Opwarmen mogen de heren al tijdens het éénmalige benefietconcert 'Clouseau & Van Geel', georganiseerd in de Lotto Arena op 25 november ten voordele van Rode Neuzen Dag.

Binnenkort verkrijgbaar via Warner Music

Engelbert Humperdinck recording country album

21/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Lauren Wilde is back producing for Engelbert Humperdinck on what is expected to be a country album from the music legend.
Wilde has previous produced Rod Stewart (American Songbook series), Carly Simon (Moonlight Serenade) and Art Garfunkel (Some Enchanted Evening). He previously worked with Engelbert on 'Engelbert Calling' (2014) as vocal producer as well as his 2007 release 'The Winding Road'.
Engelbert's country roots can be traced back to his very first hit 'Release Me' in 1967. The song was 21 years old by the time Engelbert got hold of it and made it his own.
Eddie Miller wrote 'Release Me' in 1946. Miller could not find anyone to record the song so he recorded it himself in 1947.
In 1954 the song was recorded by Ray Price. While not his first record, it became his breakthrough record reached no 6 in the USA.
Engelbert Humperdinck recorded 'Release Me' in 1967. It reached no 1 on the UK charts and stopped The Beatles 'Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever' from topping the British charts for the first time since 1963.
Engelbert Humperdinck will tour Australia in October and November for Bluehawk Presents. (Bron: Music-News.com)

TICKETS VANAF VANDAAG TE KOOP VIA SHERPA


VRIJDAG 20 MEI 2016
Kursaal Oostende

ZATERDAG 11 JUNI 2016
Stadsschouwburg Antwerpen

Zopas ging het zesde studioalbum ‚Open’ én de afgeleide eerste single ‚Open je hart’ van Nick & Simon in release. Drie jaar na hun platina album ‚Sterker’, is het Nederlandse duo terug met de opvolger om ‚u’ tegen te zeggen. Nick & Simon werkten samen met hun vaste producer Gordon Groothedde maandenlang intensief samen, om de juiste tracks voor ‚Open’ te selecteren en op punt te zetten. Ze deden onder andere inspiratie op tijdens hun laatste reis naar Ierland en Engeland (in het kader van hun succesvolle tv-programma ‚The Dream’).

‚Open’ kan het best worden bestempeld als een Nederlandstalig popalbum, waarop de sound van Nick & Simon een sterke metamorfose doormaakt.

Bij een kersvers album horen uiteraard ook live optredens van het duo. En dus gaan Nick & Simon samen weer op tour, met een show waarin ze tracks van hun nieuwste album zullen spelen, afgewisseld met hun grootste hits.

Vandaag brengen DANI KLEIN & SAL LA ROCCA het album ‘Dani sings Billie’ uit.

Van de totstandkoming van dit unieke hommage project werd een making of gedraaid die je HIER kan bekijken.

Gisteren stelden Dani Klein en co het album voor in DE ROMA in Antwerpen en vandaag ligt ‘Dani sings Billie’ in de winkel.

Ontdek het album op itunes: http://smarturl.it/DaniSingsBillieIT

Bestel de CD of vinyl LP op Bol.com: http://smarturl.it/DaniSingsBillieBol

Samen met Sal La Rocca (bas), William Lecomte (piano) en Tim De Jonghe (trompet), 3 gerenommeerde jazzmuzikanten die jarenlang deel uitmaakten van Vaya Con Dios, brengt Dani Klein de opgewekte nummers uit het rijk gevulde repertoire van Billie Holiday.

Dani Klein wil hiermee haar grote waardering uiten voor de legendarische Amerikaanse jazz zangeres die in 2015 honderd jaar oud zou zijn geworden.

Vergeleken met Vaya Con Dios is ‘Dani Klein & Sal La Rocca’ een intieme formule, met topmuzikanten en een klassiek jazz repertoire van één van haar favoriete zangeressen, maar wel één die bijzonder spannend en uitermate gezellig is.  Het volgende concert is op 6 december in de AB.

"When we started Creation, I was twenty three so we made it up as we went along - most of the first batch were mates I had met through my club the Living Room.” Alan McGee.

Creation Records was one of the most important, vital independent labels of the 80s and 90s, born in the post-punk era and progressing to define the Britpop generation. The label evolved out of a hip London club night and won the plaudits with a string of limited edition 7” singles and a handful of albums – including the acclaimed debut ‘Upside Down’ by The Jesus & Mary Chain.

During this period 1983-1985, the label also issued vinyl by Primal Scream (their debut 45), The Pastels, The Bodines, The Loft, The Membranes, The Jasmine Minks et al.

Released on 25th September, Creation Artifact is the first comprehensive box set devoted to the early years of Creation Records. Housed in a lavish ‘book’ set, Creation Artifact pays tribute to that seminal period with two discs comprising early A’s and B’s, a third CD of rarities and album tracks, another comprising previously unissued demos and a fifth disc of rare BBC sessions.

Creation Records felt like a colourful antidote to the grey, doom-laden masses which were littering the Indie charts. In place of monochrome post-punk or morbid goth rock, Creation Records’ output was colourful and sexy, meshing the excitement of punk with the melodic qualities and musical flourishes of 60s freakbeat and psychedelia.

In Alan McGee, Creation had a founder with true musical vision and ambition. Awash with rare memorabilia, a 12,000-word essay from journalist Neil Taylor, band biographies, personal reminiscences and numerous archive finds, Creation Artifact is the ultimate tribute to the dawn of Creation Records 1983-1985.

Creation Artifact follows the Record Store Day 2015 Creation Records 45 (10?7?) box set - the first 10 Creation Records singles released between 1983 and 1984 presented in a deluxe lift off lid box and replica sleeves with a booklet containing reminiscences from the artists.

MIKE OLDFIELD'S “THE SPACE MOVIE” ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK TO BE RELEASED ON CD FOR THE FIRST TIME!

19/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
London, UK - GONZO Multimedia will be releasing a newly restored and (finally) complete edition of Mike Oldfield and Tony Palmer's “The Space Movie.” For the very first time the original soundtrack featuring all the talk-back between the astronauts and ground control, as well as orchestral versions of music by Mike Oldfield will be released on CD!

This classic film was originally commissioned by London Weekend Television and Virgin Films in 1979 to mark the 10th Anniversary of the first landing on the moon, July 21st 1969. A recent discovery of a print in mint condition has enabled us to issue the film in a sparkling new (and complete!) edition.

Producer Tony Palmer explains, “The invitation to make the film came out of the clear blue sky from NASA in January 1978. I was invited to Washington and shown the mountain of film NASA had collected from the very beginnings with John Glenn, the first astronaut to orbit the earth in February 1962, until Apollo 17 December 1972. Use whatever I wanted, I was told, plus all the talk-back between ground control in Houston and the various space missions. NASA's extraordinary and spectacular images made me realize I had access to a treasure house beyond imagination.

“From the beginning, I wanted Mike Oldfield to write the music, and the soundtrack which emerged – a combination of hitherto unreleased recordings including the orchestral versions of Oldfield's early masterpieces, 'Tubular Bells' and 'Hergest Ridge' - is remarkable, perfect in every way; evocative, powerful, an inspiring match for the images. And I'm sure it is that, plus of course the astonishing NASA footage and the sound of the astronauts chatting away in space. Virgin Films may have long gone, but together these elements made and make the film what it is - something rather special.”

At a Gala Screening in the Egyptian Cinema in Hollywood in 2008, the film was introduced by Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk upon the moon. He said: “It gives me enormous pleasure, and a thrill, to be able to introduce Tony Palmer's remarkable film about our space adventures. I say remarkable because at the time it was made, 1978/9, very little of the footage you are about to see had ever been seen in public, images which are now so familiar as to be truly iconic. But it was Tony who used them first, and we are very pleased that he did, even if he did construct the longest take-off in history! I still get a chill hearing some of the talk-back which, like the footage, NASA had provided for Tony to use. When the rocket takes off, boy is that a roller-coaster ride, bumpy as hell. So when you hear my voice saying 'little bit of shaking there', you'll know what I mean! So thank you Tony for what you did.”

The distinguished film critic Alexander Walker said after the first screenings: “The best British film screened at Cannes (in 1980) was Mike Oldfield and Tony Palmer's 'The Space Movie', with unique footage from NASA and music by Mike Oldfield. Palmer’s film combines both in a wonderful, at times profoundly moving, tribute to the astronauts from Cape Kennedy. The film includes one of the finest space launches ever collated, with footage that is unbelievably spectacular. Full marks to director Tony Palmer. The result is breathtaking, beautiful and brilliant.”

This version comes complete with Director's Cut BONUS DVD of the movie.

Release Date: 16th October 2015

An exclusive screening of the 80-minute restored version of “The Space Movie” will be held at Cinema 2 at The Barbican in London on Sunday 15th November at 6 pm. http://www.barbican.org.uk/film/new-cinemas

PROG ENSEMBLE THE AARON CLIFT EXPERIMENT TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED CONCEPT ALBUM “OUTER LIGHT, INNER DARKNESS”

19/9/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
One of the most eagerly awaited Prog albums of 2015 will be released in September by The Aaron Clift Experiment! Titled “Outer Light, Inner Darkness”, this is the second CD by the Austin ensemble and marks a musical plateau for the group with its intricate compositions, complex arrangements and virtuosic performances!

Band leader, Aaron explains, “ 'Outer Light, Inner Darkness' is a concept album about duality: light vs. darkness, individual vs. group, hope vs. despair, etc. Songs in the first half of the album detail the conflict between these opposing forces, while the songs in second half of the album are a journey toward reconciling the extremes. The album culminates with 'Bathed in Moonlight,' a song about how humanity can learn to embrace its outer light and inner darkness and become one with both sides of its nature.”

Watch the new video for "Kissed By The Sun": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diGuQDBOGTo

Just as scientists conduct experiments by using their knowledge to explore the unknown, The Aaron Clift Experiment combines elements of classic and cutting-edge music into an innovative whole. The band's unique songs draw from a wide range of influences – from classic progressive rock acts like Genesis, Pink Floyd, and Rush to modern groups like Porcupine Tree and Opeth to classical and jazz composers like Beethoven, Schubert, and John Coltrane. Aside from its diversity, The Aaron Clift Experiment is dedicated to producing soulful, powerful music and an intense live show.

In 2012, the band released its critically acclaimed debut album, “Lonely Hills,” to rave reviews from both fans and the music press and was named one of the best unsigned bands of 2013 by Prog Magazine.

With the release of the band's second album, “Outer Light, Inner Darkness” in September 2015, The Aaron Clift Experiment continues to lead the way in fusing the sophistication and depth of classical music with the passion and raw power of rock and roll. What began as an idea of how to create music has now blossomed into a full-fledged experiment. The band invites you to join them in this experiment as they embark on their new path.

Says Aaron, “Although The Aaron Clift Experiment started as my solo project, 'Outer Light, Inner Darkness' marks the birth of ACE as a full-fledged band. Unlike the first album, in which I wrote all the songs and arrangements, the songwriting and arranging process for the second album was a largely collaborative process, with all of the band members contributing elements to the sound that makes the album our most diverse to date. One of the fun challenges of co-writing between me and my band mates is that we all have very distinct songwriting styles and music preferences. As a result, we all pushed each other to write outside of our comfort zones. Sometimes this could be disorienting process, but in the end, it helped us write our strongest songs to date. The song, 'Aoide, Goddess of Song,' was in a way my commentary on what it can be like to come up with brand new music.”

Here's what the press has raved about The Aaron Clift Experiment:

“The Aaron Clift Experiment strikes a nerve right away . . . pleasing as well as entertaining for the ears and mind, a true prog experience.” - Closet Concert Arena

“There is a journey to be taken while listening to The Aaron Clift Experiment’s songs, and for me that is one of the most appealing aspects of progressive music.” - Dr. Music’s Weekly Checkup

“The Aaron Clift Experiment has great melodies. . .the music is tight and controlled.” - Austin Mix Tape

Featuring:
  • Aaron Clift – Vocals/Keyboards
  • Eric Gutierrez – Guitar
  • Joe Resnick – Drums
  • Devin North – Bass

In support of the new CD release, The Aaron Clift Experiment filmed a new music video for the album's lead single, “Kissed by the Sun.” The video, which debuted early September, coincided with their August 27 album release show in Austin. Next year, they're looking to play some progressive rock festivals, particularly in Europe.

JAMES MORRISON RETURNS WITH NEW ALBUM ‘HIGHER THAN HERE’ OUT 30TH OCTOBER

15/9/2015

1 Comment

 
Picture
“James Morrison was one of the first UK artists I looked to when I was becoming a singer myself.

His voice is simply incredible. I’m actually not sure, even with all his success, he’s ever had the full credit for his talent.” - John Newman

“James is one of my earliest inspirations. Amongst everything that was going on in pop music, to suddenly hear a voice that delicate, that soulful and that powerful behind just an acoustic guitar was everything I'd been waiting for.” - James Bay


Having spent the last four years away from the limelight, and following the release of his new single ‘Demons’ last Thursday, James Morrison makes a welcome return with his fourth studio album ‘Higher Than Here’, out 30th October through Island Records.

The songs on the new album create a subtle balance between revealing the pain and difficulties that Morrison has experienced in his recent personal life, and the soundtrack to those lazy Sunday mornings that, will make you dance, smile and reflect.

Album opener and lead single ‘Demons’ sets the scene; The rousing track, written about resisting the little voices in your head trying to take you down, has Morrison’s signature soulful vocal over a high pitched loop that altogether makes for a rich, uplifting and contemporary sound. Elsewhere, further standout songs include ballads, ‘Stay Like This’ and ‘Too Late For Lullabies’ which are reminiscent of Morrison’s much loved sound but with a touch of American gospel. Beyond the more familiar are tracks like ‘I Need You Tonight’, easily the most unexpected track on the album; it’s big, ballsy and potentially his first dance floor smash.

James was recently given an amazing welcome back when he played his first live shows since 2011 - Two nights at Wilton’s Music Hall and one night at the Tabernacle in London - where he debuted some of his forthcoming new tracks, and all of which sold out in a matter of seconds. The Evening Standard agreed that James was back at his best, calling his return the “uplifting comeback of a spirited soul man”.

When James broke onto the scene as a soulful singer-songwriter in 2006, even he couldn’t have predicted that he would become the template that allowed a wave of likeminded musicians to enter the field. He was also famously told by the veteran soul producer Jerry Wexler that his raspy, gravelly voice, the product of a childhood illness, had its "own thumbprint" and was so distinctive that “once heard, never forgotten”. Now, almost a decade on, Ed Sheeran, George Ezra and James Bay are all ruling the charts following the same format; one guy with just a guitar and an incredible voice.

Despite his self-deprecation and humble nature, he was the first to take that format and not only make it work but also became an overnight success story. Pop gems like ‘You Give Me Something’ from his first record ‘Undiscovered’, made him anything but, and he won the 2007 BRIT Award for Best Male when he was still just 21 years old.

James has gone on to sell over 4.5 million copies of his first three albums, performed four world tours including sold-out shows to thousands at London’s Hyde Park, supporting both Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder and appeared on Herbie Hancock’s Grammy-winning album ‘The Imagination Project’.

2008’s ‘Songs for You, Truths for Me’ brought with it a string of Top Ten singles, including the phenomenally catchy ‘Broken Strings’ with Nelly Furtado, with his last album, 2011’s ‘Awakening’ shooting straight to Number One, selling over one million copies worldwide. By going back to where he started James has created a collection of his most honest, powerful, insightful and triumphant songs to date, best summed-up in the chorus to the lead single from his new album:

‘I’ve got demons trying to get to me…But they’ll never take me down’
