(Queens--NY) Depot Square Music is pleased to announce the new from singer/songwriter, Sal Casabianca, 'Shell Games' The title sums up these collection of songs perfectly. All the songs on this record are all about games we play on ourselves and others. This is his fourth . And it follows the critical success of Sal's debut, 'Curve', in 2001; and his second , 'Living Between the Bridges', in 2003 third ,'I.D' in 2006. I did a remake of No Friends and Addiction (Curve) and on Humvee Paradise (I.D) it's just me and my National Guitar. Hey the nice thing about making you own records is you can do anything you want. I'm happy with Shell Games but I'm already thinking about the next project. It's always about the process and discovery that makes the music but always please yourself first anything after that is just an opinion.I have been playing guitar and writing songs for over 30 years. Over the years I have played with many bands but felt is was easier just to do my own thing. Music is my passion and now I only write songs I can live with. I play local gigs and I'm always writing and playing for the joy and process more then anything else.Music and songs are the only things I can create from zero to something. I enjoy recording and releasing records every few years with the help of some very good musicians. Thank you for checking out Shell Games I hope you like it. Best to you.

The music in this programme, featuring two vocal top soloists, Claron McFadden and Nora Fischer, reigns from the turn of the 16th to the 17th century, the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque era, a musically interesting and exciting time! Claudio Monteverdi is without any doubt the biggest Stella Lucente (shining star) of this album. He has always been considered the great master of this period and the title of the album could have been Monteverdi and his time. The highest goal is to touch the listener's soul. This leads, among other things, to an enormous amount of publications with compositions for solo voice, two sopranos and basso continuo and, subsequently, the birth of the opera. Many musicians work in the courts of the great city-states (such as Ferrara, Florence, Mantua, Venice) and the papal residence in Rome. The Duke of Ferrara employs three sopranos under the name Concerto delle Donne. They are the pride of the court and perform in special concerts attended only by high-ranking courtiers and important guests. Composers are inspired by them, Luzzaschi in particular, who worked as the musical director at the same court. Not only were they highly skilled singers, they were also adept at playing various instruments, some of which you can hear on this album; the harp, viola da gamba and guitar.
