Soen - Memorial - VINYL LP

On November 18th 2022, the engaging, enchanting, cutting, yet beautiful Swedish metal supergroup Soen will a very special concert film, ATLANTIS, featuring 13 of the groups most popular compositions reinterpreted with live orchestral accompaniment. The perfect way for Soen to celebrate a decade together, ATLANTIS was created within the mystic and magical confines of Atlantis Grammofon Studio in Stockholm, Sweden, which has seen a wide range of international artists record, from Quincy Jones to Lenny Kravitz to Green Day. Formerly a movie house in 1941, it went on to become Metronome Studio (during which time ABBA was born) before becoming Atlantis Grammofon in 1983. Filmed and recorded on December 10th 2021, Martin Lopez (drums & percussion), Joel Ekelöf (lead vocals), Lars Enok Åhlund (guitars & piano), Cody Lee Ford (lead guitar) and Oleksii InchZlatoyarInch Kobel (bass) worked together with an 8-piece orchestra to reinterpret and rediscover fresh energy and elements in classic Soen songs, such as InchAntagonistInch, InchMonarchInch, InchJinnInch and InchLucidityInch, as well as introducing the brand new piece InchTrialsInch and a stunning interpretation of Slipknot's deeply dark meditation on darkness rejecting love, InchSnuffInch. The end result of this 80 minutes performance is some remarkable new aural refractions of Soen's greatest material for fans to absorb and enjoy. As has always been the way with Soen, the deepest dives yield the greatest treasures. ATLANTIS was recorded by David Castillo and Iñaki Marconi, mixed by Castillo, and mastered by Tony Lindgren. The performance was filmed and directed by George Laycock from the bespoke British production house Blacktide Phonic/Visual. ATLANTIS will be available as a DVD-CD with bonus footage, a Double 12Inch Limited Edition Vinyl, Long Form Video, and Streaming. Available to pre-order from August 30th 2022. T

The basso continuo is the rhythmic and harmonic foundation of all baroque music. It requires no more than a baroque cello, a small positive organ or, as on this album, a harpsichord. This basso continuo sometimes merely accompanies another instrument or a singer, sometimes it is part of a larger orchestra. Until the 20th century, concert halls, through enthusiasm for the great works of Bach and Handel, tended to direct the audience's attention to this latter form of existence of the basso continuo. However, with the advent of historically informed performance practice and growing interest in early music, our view of the InchsmallInch forms of baroque music-making gradually changed. Although the numerous compositions for various instruments accompanied by the basso continuo had never been completely forgotten, they had been accord-ed little more than the status of Inchpractice literatureInch for budding orchestral musicians. Slowly, people began to remember, among other things, that numerous cantatas and opera parts of early music were performed with very small instrumentation, namely singer, solo instrument and basso continuo group. This album is dedicated to one of these small baroque ensembles, namely the formation flauto e voce (recorder and voice). The Quartetto Primavera takes us from the compositions of the old masters to completely unknown and equally fascinating music. The work of Georg Philipp Telemann runs like a thread through the program. Even more than the two arias on this , the three instrumental pieces illustrate Telemann's richness of color and versatility. He is considered one of the most influential composers of the era for good reason.
