The "classical" music you buy from Boomkat (2010): a thread to discuss Sylvain Chauveau, Johann Johannsson, Peter Broderick, Olafur Arnalds and others

Haven't yet played this but my Sunday evening now seems sorted:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b08fry9l?ns_mchannel=social&ns_campaign=bbc_6_music&ns_source=twitter&ns_linkname=radio_and_music

^ Actually it wasn't that good.

Anyway:

Anyone rate the new Hauschka? I've not heard it yet but think I might have reached the point where I don't need anymore Hauschka ...

It was all right but I don't remember much about it.

I'm at that point too, djh. Same with Peter Broderick tbh. I thought it would happen with Max Richter, but he continues to amaze me.

Sunday night drunkenness. The last Douglas Dare album is hitting the spot though I've felt ambivalent about it at points. It doesn't really have much to do with "classical you buy from Boomkat" aside from being on Erased Tapes, mind.

It pains me a bit but one of my favourite albums of the year is being sold for a quid *for the CD* on Bandcamp:

https://homenormal.bandcamp.com/album/love-retained

I've checked and it isn't a mistake.

I loved his previous one

This includes some good stuff, much of which is "the classical music you buy from Boomkat":

Particularly enjoying this:

Not yet made my way through this (posting so I can find it later):

That all looks promising, will investigate: cheers

Since Vanessa Amara was mentioned above, she has a new record next month again on Posh Isolation and you can hear a beautiful track off it on her bandcamp:

Also enjoying this Swoop and Cross record on Time Released Sound

Sure there are a lot of Reich-isms, but this Anenon record is beautiful, very pleasant listening. Really nice textures (all that breath sound on the saxophone) and room sound.

thanks for the Anenon, sounds good

New ólafur Arnalds:

there's a new BBC Radio 3 show that covers this stuff:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0b02sl2

"Elizabeth Alker with music by an exciting new generation of unclassified composers and performers, breaking free of the constraints of practice rooms and concert halls."

6 episodes, first one was last sunday at 23:30 but available (everywhere?) via iplayer radio

Cool, thanks!

Sunday midnight
Nightingales
Slow Radio

A magical late night listening experience - six musicians go into the Sussex woods to play nocturnal music with the nightingales, who gather there to sing at night each Spring. The soloists taking turns to respond musically to the nightingales are Clive Bell (Japanese bamboo flute); Laura Moody (cello and vocal); Sam Amidon, (violin and vocal), John Baily (rubab) with Veronica Doubleday (frame drum and vocal) ,and Sam Lee (vocal & harmonium). The entire programme takes place in the woods, recorded on one night in April. Verity Sharp presents, leading the listener into the wild nocturnal environment and describing the atmosphere, and folk singer and outdoorsman Sam Lee will explain the migratory behaviour of the birds, the character of their songs, and the habitats that they favour for singing.

This is a Slow Radio experience, immersing the listener in the remarkable and magical experience of the nocturnal songs of nightingales. They are rarely to be heard in England today, but this programme will lead your ears into one of the woods where they still migrate every Spring, to sing through the night.

And who knows what other sounds may be captured on the night - a fox bark, an owl hoot, frogs calling, the wind in the branches...

ólafur Arnalds was brilliant in Brussels last Sunday. The first part of his All Strings Attached tour is nearly over now, here's 75 minutes of the Berlin show on German radio (will be online for a couple more days) : https://www.radioeins.de/programm/index.htm/psdoc=!content!rbb!rad!programm!sendungen!sendungen!154!1805!180517_eins_sch_ne_t_ne_38153.html

How's the new Olafur Arnalds album?

Anyone heard this?

I've just ordered the cd, will report back.

re: arnalds - I like his previous work better but still going to see the tour again next Sunday

What did you think Le Bateau Ivre?

I got it in the mail yesterday so only played it through one time, but it's gorgeous. Delicate, fragile piano/violin music mostly, very melancholic, at times droney w/ strings. Music instilled with a sense of swelling unease and quiet mourning. There's little that makes me happier :)

Ha! It has sold out since yesterday ... I've had a bit of a poor run on Fluid Audio releases where I've liked the Soundcloud link but then less so the album (though clearly the physical objects are constructed with fuck of a lot of love).

I can hook you up if you like (send me an ilxmail)

(my ilxmail doesn't work, apparently, if you give me an email addy i'll be in touch)

Does using my ilxor webmail work as a way of making contact?

Only one way to find out, sent you a message

Weird. Nearly missed my bus stop after becoming engrossed in the last Bing & Ruth album on my MP3 player, today.

New Crash Ensemble album coming soon, this Nico Muhly piece is beautiful.

Very beautiful indeed, thanks for linking!

I’ve been listening through my various favorite albums of the years of the 2010s and I’m reminded that this was my very favorite album of 2014: Rebekka Karijord, Music for Film and Theatre.

This has been good for home working ...

Any recent recommendations? I've got the next Bing & Ruth on order but haven't discovered anything new since, well, April 6.

I really like max de wardener's music for detuned pianos played by kit downes, very light

http://somekindofpeace.com

new, more minimalist than the previous, album from ólafur Arnalds, being streamed + some stuff on youtube (Q&A etc) planned in the coming hours as well

(so... at 8 PM (your time) it will start playing)

Anything new-ish to recommend? I have £20 to spend at Norman (sorry, Boomkat!)

I'd completely missed this until this evening:
