Eeten - Inner Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Louie Belogenis, Trevor Dunn, Ryan Sawyer / Remaining true to the alchemical beginner's mind, Terton is a band that places exploration and improvisation first and foremost. Featuring saxophonist Louie Belogenis, bassist Trevor Dunn, and drummer Ryan Sawyer, the music pushes the envelope of free jazz and points in many directions at once. In Tibetan Buddhism, a terton uncovers and reveals esoteric spiritual teachings currently unknown and unpracticed. Like the teachings referred to, the music here are similar treasures-a music deeply buried within the human psyche waiting for an opportune time to appear. Louie, Trevor and Ryan mine this hidden terrain with great honesty, imagination, and craft. Album Tracks 1. Outer 2. Unconditioned 3. Foretold 4. Arising 5. Unfolding 6. Transmute 7. Inner 8. Embody 9. Secret 10. Dissolving

St. Augustine advised his coevals to seek the truth in the Inchinner man.Inch Such inwardness seems far removed from the reality of life in the twenty-first century. Perhaps that is why a tendency to focus on internal processes has emerged in the music of the last few decades-not in the sense of a new subjectivity, in which sentimental private matters are put on display, but rather in the sense of an exploratory introspection It's a question of increasing the intensity. Mark Andre seeks existential sonic situations on his path Inchtoward the insideInch (nach innen, to quote the fully written-out title of his piece InchniInch). Like Andre, the Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho has also delved into the internal nature of sound. Her music originates in the rich variety of spectral harmonies, and it sets itself the task of telling a very old story in a new way a violin concerto as the legend of the grail. An entirely different aspect of inner life manifests itself in Ian Willcock's piece. He visits the discoverer of the unconscious, Sigmund Freud, on his deathbed. At the start of the twentieth century, Freud's glimpses of the InchinsideInch showed that there is more to be found there than the truth the phantasm. Album Tracks 1. Grave, for Ensemble 2.

'You have understood nothing of my simplicity', wrote Paul Verlaine in Child Wife. And that is precisely what Julien Joubert's music seems to whisper to us with each note. The composer and pianist works regularly with the Maîtrise de Radio France, which has premiered many of his works. Here he has set two cycles by the great nineteenth-century poet to music for this recording (Ariettes oubliées and Aquarelles, for mixed choir). An ambitious program, yet accessible to everyone, in all simplicity. Julien Joubert is not the kind of composer people imagine them to be he is impossible to classify, truly impossible. From musicals to opera to symphonic music, chamber music, ballet, theater, or film music, Julien Joubert continues to explore all forms of composition. Not forgetting his operas for children's or youth choirs (more than eighty), several of which have been premiered and recorded by the Maitrise de Radio France. A cellist and pianist, sometimes a singer, Julien Joubert is passionate about all sorts of music from the most complex sounding to light music. Album Tracks 1. Ariettes Oubliées 2. Aquarelles 3. Trois Chansons
