Peaceful Choir by harpist Lavinia Meijer and chamber choir World Choir of Peace is a relaxing musical journey through the manifold colors and sounds of contemporary choral music. Renowned international composers have contributed entirely new works or arrangements for this unique recording project, including Sir Karl Jenkins, Grammy-nominated composer and pianist Hauschka, San Fermin mastermind Ellis Ludwig-Leone, composer icon John Rutter, Estonian pop-violinist Maarja Nuut and German soundtrack composer David Reichelt (8 Days). The album includes 15 world-premiere recordings and music by house-hold names such as Ola Gjeilo, Eric Whitacre, Max Richter, Hans Zimmer and Arvo Pärt. Next to them, critically acclaimed composers of choral music have contributed to the album, such as Grammy-nominated Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen and American composers Dan Forrest, Jake Runestand and Elaine Hagenberg. For some pieces, the chamber choir is accompanied by an ensemble of additional instruments. Next to harpist Lavinia Meijer, violinist and influencer Esther Abrami, pianist Tim Allhoff or cellist Gereon Theis join the choir. The InchWorld Choir for PeaceInch consists of 24 professional singers from 15 countries worldwide and was founded by conductor Nicol Matt.

Big Crown is proud to present the next 7Inch offering from supergroup, Synthia. Both songs produced by Leon Michels and featuring vocals from two very special guests. Side A, InchSo LowInch has the ethereal, haunting, yet sweet charm that could soundtrack a scene from Lost In Translation and features vocals by Claire Cotrill as her and producer Leon Michels do their own bottom heavy version of the obscure 80s cult classic by Carol.Side B, InchYou and IInch is a low fi banger carried by synth lines and an echoed out drum loop. Helsinki's MALLA is the perfect compliment to the track singing about looking to leave an old love and find a new one with an energy that leaves this one stuck in your heart and your head.
