Void Paradigm - Ultime Pulsation / Demain Brule - VINYL LP

This program spans two-and-a-quarter centuries of compositions that reflect a state of unusual spiritual solitude. A composer's solitary journey can lead to very different places, as each reflects the unique journey of the soul-and a work for solo piano can give perfect voice to such introspection, creating a complete world of sound. György Kurtág began his Játékok (Games) in the early 1970s. This series of ingenious miniatures first served as a cure for the composer's writer's block; it also aimed to be a new method of teaching piano, inspired by Bartók's Mikrokosmos. Kurtág started again from scratch, using basic building blocks of intervals, harmonies, and sometimes primitive methods of playing the instrument (palms, fists, forearms). As the cycle developed-there are now eight books-Kurtág started dedicating the pieces to close colleagues. When I worked with Mr. Kurtág in Darmstadt, Germany, he magically demonstrated, at the piano, some ideal phrasings. I was amazed, and humbled, by how much direction and energy he could convey in a single two-note melodic interval. Kurtág's profound expressive ability is hard-won, the result of much struggle. These varied pieces plumb every element of the music for complexity and effect. Mozart's well-known and endlessly mysterious Rondo in a minor is one of his most unusual solo piano pieces. Relentlessly chromatic, the work alternates between extremes of simplicity and density, often in quick succession. The piece formally adheres to a rondo, alternating a main idea with contrasting material. Notably, the emotional change the listener feels each time upon the theme's return is profound and complex the fragile melody is weighted by the memory of all that has come before. The piece concludes with a winding coda, and is capped by the simplest cadence imaginable. Schoenberg's 1923 Suite for Piano is the first large-scale twelve-ton

Featuring hand-drawn artwork by Kim Holm and production by Anders Nordengen, The Skies Turn Black stands as a focused, powerful statement of resilience and renewed creative fire.

Old school Death Metal aficionados have reminded us how relevant the genre still means today in opposition with insanely sophisticated over technical death metal that has kindly poured in the past years. Enthusiastic followers for genuine original death metal have grown in numbers again looking for a bit of fresh air from the coffin !. Undead Prophecies (initially named UNDEAD) was founded by 5 individuals back from the dead with a similar musical vision. They decided to gather reviving forces in order to honor authentic old school Death Metal as initially mastered by bands like POSSESSED, MORBID ANGEL, CELTIC FROST, MASTER, OBITUARY, DEATH... The latter being like one of the main godfathers to the genre, Undead Prophecies has particularly taken it's root in DEATH's majestic, slashing riffs, hammering tempos and those unique dominating guttural vocals. Undead Prophecies are now unleashing their second album 'Sempiternal Void'. Debut album 'False Prophecies' has gathered a roaring response worldwide as DEAFOREVER defined greatly InchThis album is a real sledgehammer and should be bought by anybody who loves the early works of Chuck Schuldiner or Possessed. Simple, catchy and stripped down to the bone Death Metal with an impressing technical level !Inch, EMP (Ger) continued as 'The guys have the precision of a Swiss brand-name machinery', ROCK HARD (fr) concluded bluntly 'A major hit in the face !'. Undead Prophecies are also doing way more than paying tribute to the legends they grew up with, from abrupt yet refined choppy riffings and bashing drums, while undoubtedly straight forward in their approach like in ' I summon demon', they have admittedly come up with an irresistibly catchy songwriting melting the basic influences with further madness and menacing layers like in 'The Souls I haunt'.
