About this product
Heartless Fools is a collection of works exploring multiplicity and often contradictory ideas. Supported by a Creative Renewal Fellowship from the Arts Council of Indianapolis, many of the works were realized and recorded in January 2018 at Greenhouse Studios in Reykjavík, Iceland. Since these initial recordings, the music has grown through far-reaching collaborations with musicians in the worlds of jazz, classical, and pop. Album credits include experimental pop trio Square Peg Round Hole, vocalists Isaiah Robinson and Hanna Benn, and Icelandic cellist Þórdís Gerður Jónsdóttir.While the music itself is not intended to be political, the title Heartless Fools refers to the response of two characters to the current political landscape. The first is working through shock and grief as they awake to the realities of this world, and is trying to make sense of it all. The other, fueled by an imagined loss of cultural identity, is full of a rage that causes them to do inhumane things. This shows up in the music as a struggle between order and chaos, contemplation and impatience. The works constantly push in pull, both internally and with one another.

2015 . Greg Lake is the co-founder of King Crimson and Emerson Lake And Palmer (ELP). Greg wrote the hit InchLucky ManInch and co-wrote 'I Believe In Father Christmas'. Geoff Downes is the keyboardist in The Buggles, Asia and Yes. Geoff co-wrote the hits 'Video Killed The Radio Star' and 'Heat Of The Moment'. Ride the Tiger contains six songs which the duo wrote together - one went on to became an Asia song and two became ELP songs. Four of these tracks have been released on compilations before, but this is the first time they have been collected together with two previously unreleased tracks plus one alternate mix.
I envisioned the record as a journey through human expression over the course of one day, says Chicago composer and ONO member Jordan Reyes. When planning the album, Reyes wanted to consider the trajectory of American music, drawing a throughline from the oral traditions enmeshed in blues, country, folk to contemporary underground music, splicing together acoustic instrumentation with an experimental, electronic sensibility. The album begins with human-constructed wind on opening song InchThe Pre-Dawn Light.Inch. From there, Reyes adds acoustic guitar, electric guitar, lap-steel guitar, trombone, keyboards, and an electronic drum to the compositional mix.InchI wanted to push myself compositionally,Inch he says. InchMy first album Close was all eurorack synthesizer, a lot of which was automated by control voltage, but Sand Like Stardust has no modular synthesizers, seeking to channel the warmth, immediacy, and vulnerability of hand-played instruments and voice.Inch1.
