Zoe Drummond - Juliana - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The first recording of the complete consort music of little known 17th century composer David Funck. The 1677 publication Strictuae Viola-di Gambicae is the only surviving music by David Funck (1648-1699), of whom very little else is known. Stricturae Viola-di Gambice is a collection of dance suites for four viols. This recording features performances by influential performers in the early music scene, hailing from Oberlin, Julliard, Yale, McGill and Boston University.

Death Grips follow up EXMILITARY with their Epic Records debut, THE MONEY STORE. The album builds on EXMILITARYS unique punk rap sound and explores new territory with standout tracks InchGet Got,Inch InchBlackjack,Inch and InchI've Seen FootageInch.

Noah Max - born into a musical family in London in 1998 - has already carved out an impressive career as a composer and conductor; he is also an accomplished painter and a poet. For someone so young, the surprise of this debut album is the sense of loss unifying these pieces. The feeling of innocence forgone is characteristic of the music of many English composers in the first half of the twentieth century, Elgar, Finzi, Howells and Vaughan Williams among them. Max's music is clearly of it's own time, but it shares the elegiac lyricism of those earlier masters.
