Proper Grounds - Downtown Circus Gang - VINYL LP

'Earth Loop', the debut album by BEAK keyboardist William Young's Moon Gangs project, is set for on 30th March 2018 via Village Green Recordings. A classically-trained pianist, Young composed 'Earth Loop' Inchhalf and half in a classical senseInch, some played live on keyboards, with ideas notated traditionally, the other half created using analogue sequencers with random voltage sources. Young's introduction to synth music came from listening to film scores when he was a teenager, such as Terminator, Videodrome, Zombie Flesh Eaters and Phantasm. Scores from kosmische pioneers Tangerine Dream and Popol Vuh also played a large part in these formative musical years. Not going out much as a child, Young spent a lot of time indoors playing video games. Instead of a SNES, his mum bought him a Commodore 64 as she thought the keyboard made it seem more educational. Certain games, and their soundtracks, also struck a chord, such as The Last Ninja, Dante's Inferno, Stormlord and Castle Master. Moon Gangs officially began in 2011, with the of 'Sea/Sky' on cassette tape via the incipient Where To Now tag. Friends from his time spent in Brighton, it was both Young's and the tag's first and set the tone for his later output with ambient, analogue synth loops and foreboding, cinematic drones. Subsequent releases followed, such as 2014's self-titled EP, mixed by Hookworms' MJ, and an appearance on the Blanck Mass-curated film score 'The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears', released via Death Waltz.1 The Start2 Second Run3 The Terminal4 Lambda5 Familiar Machines6 Sea Circles7 Tempel 18 The End

Recording the complete Preludes is like painting notes with an unlimited palette of sound! writes French pianist Fanny Azzuro in the notes to her debut album for Rubicon. InchPlaying this music is exhilarating. The danger is that you lose control of your emotions and yield to the temptation to pile on the pathos in music that is so naturally expressive.Inch Through the piano, she follows all the paths which allow her to unlock her craving for repertoires, encounters and experiences.
