Franco Proietto Morph-Tet - Live! A Weekend Ar Centre St. Ambroise - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Augustus Muller, one half of Massachusetts electronic duo Boy Harsher, releases two original scores through own tag Nude Club records. The films, Orgone Theory and Hydra, are Muller's first foray into scoring. Both films were produced by UK based collective Four Chambers. Four Chambers, or A Four Chambered Heart, produces adult material that focuses on DIY practices and non traditional bodies and narratives. Four Chambers is self-described by creator Vex Ashley as Inchdeliberately ambiguous, rejecting labels for both (the) films and performers, existing in-between genres of both art and pornography and dismissing the need for a definition of either.InchAfter a successful collaboration between Boy Harsher and Four Chambers, with the film Archetype, Vex sought a direct collaboration between Muller. Hydra is a short, sci-fi experience studying invasion and consumption. Muller's score delves into the film's dystopian attitude, utilizing eerie industrial tones and wet synthesizers. The second short, Orgone Theory takes a more dogmatic approach sexual scenarios confined within a metal box simulating the Wilhelm Reich's orgone accumulator. In Orgone, Muller embraces more of a rhythmic preposition, referencing the film's dynamic subject matter and alluding early work by Patrick Crowley. There's no need to confine the score to particular genres, yet for context - within these tracks, Muller combines disparate soundscapes, melancholy drone, and minimal synth.01 Intro02 Four on the Floor03 Slow Blue04 Taste of Metal05 Alone06 Arrival07 Invasion08 The Machine09 Consumption10 Departure

Franco Proietti Morph-Tet - Morphology [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/15/2008

The third album by The Franco Proeitti Morph-tet pushes their unique Montreal electronic vision deeper into funk and hip hop with excursions into jazz, dub, big band, and related; using an almost Zappa-esque attention to complex composition and execution as all these elements are fused together along with turntablism to create new adventures in the electronic diaspora. Their previous two albums were both on the Grammy longlist for Best Contemporary Jazz. Like all Montreal musical collectives, the FPM ranks have been known to swell up to as many as 10 people; creating a powerful live show that is unprecedented in scope and complexity. Watch for viral videos, live touring, press and word of mouth to spread the word. Franco Proietti on the new album There are a whole bunch of guests on the album - part of the concept was to really use the studio to it's full advantage and saturate the songs with all of the layers that I heard in my head, imagining them without the limits of logistically how many people I can have in the band full time. Let's start with the big band We brought in 5 trumpets, 3 trombones and added 1 sax player to the 4 that have at one time or other been full time Morph-tet as well as getting Chris Tauchner on piano & J.C. Guénard on upright bass. These folks were brought in to flesh out the 2 big band charts that Alex Gutjahr had arranged for me. The ballad, 'Away From The Sound And Fury', was always meant to be a big band tune - I wrote the chord changes and melody, and Alex arranged it into what's on the CD. Inspired by the 'Suite For Ma Dukes' project, I really wanted to do a hip hop tune with a big band backing the vocalists instead of all that synthesized and auto tuned stuff that's popular today. This brings me to my next guest DShade. He's the second vocalist on 'Montreal'. It's been a dream of mine to work with him since I jammed with him on st
