About this product
Contemporary composer David Loeb continues his series of albums for Centaur Records. Guitarist Paul Smith had previously played some of Loeb's works, and he suggested an album of compositions which comprise narrative or pictorial points of departure rather than abstract theoretical pieces. David Loeb took up the challenge, and this intriguing album is the result. Composer David Loeb was born in 1939 to a family which took music and the arts very seriously. He studied first with Peter Pindar Stearns at the Mannes College of Music, and then received his master's degree from Yale. His catalog of compositions is quite remarkably extensive and diverse. In addition to the typical assortment of works for orchestra, chamber ensembles, and voice, he has also composed extensively for Asian instruments and for early music instruments. Sometimes, he even brings the two worlds together and scores for combinations like four shakuhachi and four viols.

Mia Doi Todd follows up her acclaimed album 'Music Life' with a set of stellar remixes, entitled 'Ten Views of Music Life.' Described by Dusted Magazine as Inchone of those artists that seem to function not just as creators in their own right, but as connecting links between other musicians,Inch Mia did not need to look far to find world-class artists to remix her songs. The diversity of the resulting collection is also it's strength. Despite a wide range of stylistic methodologies employed, the project feels cohesive and creates the impression of a magical world uniting around the purity of expression in Mia's voice. Her vocals and other elements from the original 'Music Life' tracks find themselves enveloped in entirely new landscapes, from Dntel's quirky electro-pop, to Julia Holter and Tashi Wada's pensive and heartfelt orchestration, to the inimitable, free-form disco-boogie touch of Georgia Anne Muldrow. There's an Afrobeat contribution from LA's Jungle Fire and a cinematic kaleidoscope from Carlos Nin~o & Friends, featuring Jamael Dean and Sharada Shashidhar. Brazilian producer Kassin gives a fresh twist to Mia's version of Gregory Isaacs' classic InchIf I Don't Have You.Inch Pianist Vardan Ovsepian's brooding yet hopeful arrangement of InchTake Me to the MountainInch ventures into the hills and valleys of sound, cradling Mia's rich voice in subtle reharmonizations. The album includes contributions from some of Mia's longtime collaborators, such as Dntel and Carlos Nin~o, as well as from a younger generation of musicians, such as the brilliant up-and-coming producer Jamael Dean (here as Jira , in addition to his keyboard work with Carlos) and Human Error Club (featuring Mekala Session of the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra on drums). The cover artwork by Kozyndan portrays Mia as Benzaiten, goddess of music in the Japanese pantheon, with a wink to the Greek vase pa
