Doug Paisley - Constant Companion - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing including . 2014 from the Indie pop trio consisting of Amber Papini (vocals, guitar), Brian Betancourt (bass) and Nathan Michel (percussion). Trouble is an album that wonders about the mysteries that lurk just beyond our field of vision. Slyly and sympathetically, Papini ponders a Saturday afternoon fishing trip as a wrenching interplay of life and death, the perfect blue sky at an air show as a setting for a soured romance. Papini elaborates InchMost of the songs are about everyday environments that arouse anxiety or unease. The ocean isn't meant for people; we aren't supposed to be there, and some of the animals that live there are much bigger and faster than we are in the water.Inch

At the turn of the 20th century, Paris was a hotbed of musical change. Rather than fostering the emergence of a distinctly French sound, however, the city's most creative spirits sought to purge the influence of Germanic artistic ideals. Following an embarrassing defeat in the Franco-German War, the French vowed to distance themselves from Germany's lofty Wagnerian shadow and to promote homegrown talents with unprecedented fervor. And so the colorful wash of naïveté associated with early-twentieth-century French music was more the result of dismantling a German stronghold than building a French one. In musicologist Richard Taruskin's words, Inch[the French] aimed at the deflation of rhetoric-an especially pointed gesture in the face of German expressive maximalism-and placed a renewed premium on immediate physical sensation.Inch The official doctrine-ars gallica-was given through the Société Nationale de Musique, which was founded by Camille Saint-Saëns in 1871 and kept afloat by such luminaries as Gabriel Fauré, César Franck, and Jules Massenet. Each of these men played a central role in nurturing those who would shape France's musical future. The focus on exporting a national art was so strong, in fact, that traditions thought to hinder this goal were sometimes overlooked. It was under this spell of national pride that Franck opened the Conservatoire's doors to an exceptionally gifted female composer Mélanie Bonis (1858-1937). Despite a promising start, conventional gender roles forced Bonis to the sidelines of Parisian musical life. And though she continued to compose regularly, producing over 300 works under the masculine pseudonym InchMel Bonis,Inch her music eventually fell into obscurity. The Suite en Trio, Op. 59, dates from 1903 and is scored for flute, violin, and piano. In keeping with the doctrine of ars gallica, which sought an identifiably French music,
