Danny Holt - Fast Jump - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Third Album is the Constellation debut from Montréal-based multi-disciplinary artist and musician/composer Markus Lake, who's been releasing audio works under the Markus Floats moniker over the past decade. Using primarily in-the-box midi instruments, along with a smattering of samples and field recordings, Third Album is through-composed and atypically but unfailingly expressive - like ruminative action paintings in sound. Digitally-processed notes and chords extrapolate in transitory thematic clusters of harmony and melody, often referencing organ sounds of alternately liturgical and souljazz resonance. Constellation is delighted to welcome Markus Lake to the roster and to be releasing Third Album with artwork that features his own paintings, including in a deluxe 180gram vinyl edition that includes an exquisite 12Inchx24Inch art print reproduction.

Pianist and composer Mike Garson is perhaps best known for his longstanding musical relationship with David Bowie, which began in 1972. He made his mark on numerous Bowie albums and traveled thousands of miles on tours spanning more than four decades, including Bowie's first and last performances in the U.S. When classical pianist Danny Holt first heard Mike Garson's music, it was as if it reached out of his stereo speakers and grabbed him. Holt and Garson first crossed paths in 2004 when Holt was a graduate student at CalArts. The two hit it off, and Garson even helped produce Danny's Fast Jump album, also released through innova. Garson and Holt developed a musical kinship, and that relationship led them to this album, Piano Music of Mike Garson. Mike Garson and Danny Holt share a voracious appetite for new music and monster piano technique. Garson developed a compositional process that favored first-take improvisational works composed in real-time with the help of a Yamaha Disklavier. Holt's playing and Garson's music both have a sense of immediacy, aliveness, and being 'on the edge.' All of this comes together to form a perfect pairing in this first-ever album of Mike Garson's solo piano works, a project that survived both Garson's home burning to the ground in a 2018 wildfire, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Danny Holt has been called Inchthe classical music equivalent of an extreme sports athleteInch (The Record) and Gramophone called his Fast Jump album (innova Recordings, 2009) Incha compelling showcase for Holt's innate virtuosity and gregarious temperament.Inch Known as a champion of adventurous new music, Holt has performed with the Los Angeles Philharmonic New Music Group, Blue Man Group, Bang on a Can All-Stars, California EAR Unit, and the Calder Quartet, among others.
