Double vinyl LP pressing with 10” booklet containing artwork by James Franco. 2016 album from this art rock duo comprised of James Franco and Tim O'Keefe. The project features The Smith's Andy Rourke on bass guitar. Inspiration for the record came from a book of poetry James recently published. The motivation behind Daddy is to push beyond ...the sonic space of music into the surrounding ecology. Daddy investigates the territories of film/video, installation, and performance while simultaneously exploring the connections that form between them. While sampling has been an established and prevalent method of modern music making, Daddy’s approach moves beyond the ‘art of sampling’ into the act of appropriation. Not just appropriating a genre of music, but the moments it inhabits, and the characters that embody it. Drawing from the individual practices of both Franco and O’Keefe, Daddy brings together the interests and talents of these two artists. Franco continues his exploration of identity. Through appropriating and recontextualizing material from his work as an actor, director, and individual, he questions the existing boundaries between. O’Keefe, the musician behind , brings to Daddy his imaginative sense of sound and play, creating evocative arrangements that merge together the assumed separations between time, space, and cultures.

During his lifetime Carl Stamitz, the firstborn son of Johann Stamitz, the famous founder of the Mannheim School, became a violin and viola virtuoso and successful composer. In our Carl Stamitz Edition we are now releasing four more symphonies that were regarded as a practically ideal embodiment of sensibility because his Inchheart full of feeling left it's imprint on his music.Inch Stamitz's desire to discover and explore new paths in the composition of symphonies took him to the programmatic pastoral symphony InchLe jour variableInch (La promenade royale) designed in Versailles in the fall of 1772. What Stamitz presents to the ears in the way of previously Inchunheard-ofInch music would completely outshine even the programmatic pieces produced at the end of the nineteenth century. Many experts, including Hugo Riemann, were very much aware of the fact that this program symphony is a particularly interesting and remarkable composition.
