Turn on the Sunlight - Ocean Garden - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

HomeInch is not always a literal place. Sometimes, InchhomeInch represents inner peace and simply learning to hold space for yourself. This is where Vacations lead singer and guitarist Campbell Burns has arrived as he and bandmates Jake Johnson, Nate Delizzotti, and Joseph Van Lier their third LP, No Place Like Home. Following 2020's Forever In Bloom LP, No Place Like Home finds the Newcastle DIY outfit expanding their trademark melodic indie rock/pop to new sonic horizons. Produced by Campbell and John Velasquez (Zella Day, Broods), it comprises 10 shimmering tracks brimming with indie-pop hooks and just a touch of bittersweet sensitivity. InchI had this loose concept of No Place Like Home being an Americana-influenced album,Inch Campbell says of the album's sonic inspirations. InchI wanted to incorporate more pianos, acoustic guitars, Nashville tuning, and country-inspired lap steel, but then also bringing in drum machines and synths and finding a mix between the two.Inch The new project follows an intense period of transformation for Campbell, who was forced to cancel all touring commitments due to COVID restrictions and subsequently came down with a severe bout of writer's block. After seeking therapy, he was eventually diagnosed with Pure OCD (or InchPure OInch), a subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder marked by intrusive, unwanted, and uncontrollable thoughts. InchPure OCD is more mental compulsions rather than physical compulsions,Inch Campbell explains. InchIf I have an intrusive thought, I'm giving that thought belief and power over myself.

This album presents two exceptional chamber works by French composer George Onslow (1784-1853) the String Quintets Op. 72 in G minor and Op. 61 in F minor. Though celebrated in his time and often called the InchFrench Beethoven,Inch Onslow's music fell into obscurity until recent decades. These quintets, from the height of his career, reveal his gift for melodic invention, structural clarity, and expressive depth.The Op. 61 Quintet appears here in it's world premiere recording, following Ensemble Tamuz's discovery of the original manuscript in a private collection linked to the 19th-century cellist Adrien-Francois Servais.Ensemble Tamuz performs on period instruments and brings a historically informed yet vividly expressive approach to Onslow's music. With insight drawn from 19th-century performance practices, they illuminate the subtle freedoms ornamentation, rubato, melodic nuance that bring Romantic chamber music to life.This recording offers a fresh and compelling encounter with two masterful yet underappreciated works of the Romantic repertoire.

Niccolò Castiglioni's music has at it's heart a quest for different timbres and new musical perspectives. After the neo-Classical exercises of his student years he moved towards serial techniques with explorations of contrast and transformation. Castiglioni made his name with Inizio di movimento, consolidating this with Cangianti in which the piano becomes a 'lyrical instrument of the most tender poetry'. The award-winning Italian pianist Aldo Orvieto continues his survey of piano works by one of Italy's most unique 20th-century composers. The award-winning Italian pianist Aldo Orvieto continues his exploration of piano works by Niccolò Castiglioni - one of Italy's unique 20th-century composers. Includes two world premiere recordings.
