About this product

Handel's years in Italy (ca. 1706-1710) were extremely creative. His chamber cantatas were performed by the most eminent singers and instrumentalists in Rome. Exploring the art of continuo playing in Handel's 'continuo cantatas', harpsichordist Christian Kjos releases an album with captivating interpretations, describing his project in these words InchContinuo playing can be rendered in various degrees of complexity, depending on the skill of the performer. The treatise Grosse General-Baß-Schule (Hamburg, 1731) by Johann Mattheson - Handel's friend from his Hamburg years - gave me the incentive to research this rarely heard approach and to try it out in Handel's equally rarely played continuo cantatas where the continuo part is so fundamental to the result.Inch Christian has been a research fellow at the Norwegian Academy of Music since 2015 with the artistic research project 'Releasing the 'Loudie', harpsichord accompaniment in the G. F. Handel's continuo cantatas'.

Letlive - If I'm The Devil   - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing includes . Letlive's album, If I'm the Devil... is a strident, principled and heavy work. It's also perfectly suited for someone who just wants to pound on the steering wheel after a hard day at school, work, or whatever institution happens to command most of your waking life. Just consider the name Letlive - it's meant to be life-affirming above all else. Frontman Jason Aalon Bulter has an ambitious nature which takes him to extremely lofty places. He acknowledges that Letlive is a punk band and one that reflects humanity as a collection of emotional, frontal-lobe beings. At the same time, he fully believes that Letlive can access that utopian, inexplicable transcendental quality that allows art to reach budding revolutionaries the way books and other oratory cannot. If their album, If I'm the Devil... needs a genre, Butler would call it Inchrevolutionary counterculture music,Inch like a more emotional Rage Against the Machine, or Public Enemy with more inclusive politics. Butler grew up as a skater disillusioned with what he saw as a heteronormative, patriarchal punk rock scene until the older kids showed him black artists such as Bad Brains, Living Colour and Fishbone. InchPunk rock is inclusive if you want to be included,Inch Butler states, recognizing how Letlive can speak for people who feel they lack representation.
