About this product
Born in 1985, the Italian pianist Maria Argentiero gained an enthusiastic online following during lockdown with her streamed performances of repertoire from Haydn to Satie, Kapustin and beyond. She teaches in Rome and specializes as a performer in quirkier voices from the past century such as Tansman. The booklet features a thorough profile of the composer and his piano music, plus an interview between Maria Argentiero and Marianne Tansman, the composer's daughter, who recalls him as a 'very loving but very anxious' father. Alexander Tansman (1897-1986) was born in Lodz, Poland, into a wealthy Jewish family of great culture. He spoke 5 languages and studied law and philosophy. His early compositions show experiments with atonality and 12-tone music. In 1919 he left Poland for Paris, where he settled permanently. Tansman InchI spent the first twenty years of my life in Poland. In regard to the importance of Slavic influence in my music, I can readily say that I followed the same path as Bartók or Manuel de Falla folklore imaginé. I did not use popular themes per se. I used, however, their general melodic contour. This folklore remained strongly present in my musical sensitivity.Inch One could say that Tansman had a similar approach to writing music as Chopin - namely to use folklore as source material to be transformed by his imagination, without actual quoting. In a similar vein he used the different traditions he encountered when travelling round the globe, no matter whether it was jazz, gamelan or Japanese music. This new recording presents a selection of piano music by Tansman the jazzy Sonatine Transatlantique, Trois Préludes en forme de blues, and the cycle La Tour du monde en miniature, delightful and vibrant musical depictions of places from all over the world.

Don't worry. When they're through screaming... they'll be in here like a flood. Shroud of Fear 2 is a continuation of the original Shroud of Fear tape (self-released 2021), with production by O$VMV$M (additional production by Paulina Korobkiewicz & Intel Mercenary), saxophone by Lorenzo Prati & vocals from Bogues, gnome GOD, Manonmars, Yeo Limone, mutil umila, Intel Mercenary, Birthmark, DAKN & Franco Franco. The mixtape occupies a loose space of cocoon-like ambience tied together by iPhone recordings, MS DOS one shots and beds of reverb. The record was put together with more intention than it's predecessor - inspired by lots of late-night conversations and a long trip home from work stuck in gridlock on Shirehampton Rd in the mist. 'Woe to the inhabitors of the Earth and sea, for the Final Days are upon us!' Although there was no conversation between the different vocalists, the over-arching themes on the record seem to be channeling the constant pendulum between the ever present dread of the times and fleeting moments of joy. Touching on themes of altered consciousness, love, money worries, genocide and the grief of the modern world - connected across Spanish, Italian, Arabic and English. Aiming for the strange warmth of a horror film intro soul loops, Paul stretched instant ambience, repurposed phrases sung and repeated. An icy cloud blossoms, rising into the air. 'Ultimately it was meant to be a moment in time, that's why it means so much to have everyone on there to me - the field recordings from P (Paulina Korobkiewicz), the first time (Intel Mercenary) recorded a verse that's been released, all of that - it all came together very naturally - although it did take quite a long time. It wasn't a manufactured thing, we all know and respect each other - and in most cases are close friends. A lot of stuff was recorded in various states at our house late at night - I
