Piteous Gate
Experimentelle deepe Elektronik, Cut-Up Rhythmen, Industrial des Barock und kaputtes Geklöppel vom Janus Kollektiv - Mitglied M.E.S.H.Experimentelle deepe Elektronik, Cut-Up Rhythmen, Industrial des Barock und kaputtes Geklöppel vom Janus Kollektiv - Mitglied M.E.S.H. Alongside fellow members of Berlin's Janus collective, recently behind nights at Berghain and Corsica Studios, M.E.S.H. is known for his futurist approach to club dynamics and production. On Piteous Gate, tightly gridded and sculpted sound juts up against loose-wristed improvisation, automated processes, and collage. Standard club syncopation is twisted by sliding tempos, cut and paste time signatures, and indeterminate pacing. Its sound design and compositions are ornate, even courtly, with neo- feudal moods offset by the recurrence of hydraulic hiss and flanger. A synthetic fuel injector revs opener 'Piteous Gate' to life. Drawing from action- scifi film trailers and the sound design of festival trance, its hardcore synthlines shatter into 'Optimate'-stately, spatial, and whiplash - luxurious, with meandering cybernetic drumming. 'Thorium' sends a slow-motion camera through a melting test reactor: all burnt VSTs and synthetic theorbo and loose drums. The Black Pill' smears high-end renaissance sample libraries through arcs of static. In 'Epithet,' temple sewer atmospheres are ruptured by 'Scythians'-style cut-up drums. 'Jester's Visage' indulges a minute-long baroque guitar improv, and territorial youths air their beef in 'Kritikal & X.' Closing out the album, 'Methy Imbiß' is a machinic rhythm track, and 'Azov Seepage' mingles birdlike granular noises with rusted steel clanging. The LP was recorded in Berlin in winter 2015, mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M, and pressed on 140g LP and CD. TRACKS: 1. Piteous Gate (02:25) 2. Optimate (04:46) 3. Thorium (05:35) 4.

Concerto Imperiale
Whether they played violin, cornet, harpsichord or theorbo, Italian musicians of great renown called Buonamente, Castello, Pesenti and Ferro crossed the Alps to take up much-coveted posts at the courts of Emperors Ferdinand I and II. Their splendid music surged forth, blending the blaze of the brass with the sweetness of the strings in an unceasing tourney of virtuosity and emotions depicted in sound.- Shop: odax

L'inspiration Poatique
The title of this album, L'Inspiration Poétique, refers to the Airs de cour ([8]-[13]-[20]) present in this recording, and their impact on the interpretation of Flute music from the beginning of the 18th century in France. Their flexible, poetic and gracious singing quality have inspired us to search for a more free and organic sense of instrumental ornamentation. Le titre de cet album, L'Inspiration Poétique se réfère aux Airs de cour ([8]-[13]-[20]) présents dans cet enregistrement, et a leur impact sur l'interprétation des Pièces pour Flute du début du XVIIIeme siecle. Leur chant libre, flexible, poétique et gracieux nous entraina vers une vision plus libre et organique de l'ornementation instrumentale. Sophie Ardiet started playing music at the age of 7, beginning with recorder, then studying piano and modern flute. After receiving her diploma of musicology from La Sorbonne University in Paris she decided to focus her attention to early music. She studied recorder with Michelle Tellier at the National Conservatoire of Boulogne, where she graduated in 2002. It is while pursuing further recorder studies with Pierre Boragno in Versailles and beginning Baroque Flute studies with Jean-Claude Veilhan and Anne Matthias at the Conservatoire of the 14th arrondissment of Paris that Sophie took the decision to move to Den Haag to study with Wilbert Hazelzet. After she obtained her Bachelor Diploma in Baroque flute in 2007, and in Recorder in 2008, she completed a Masters degree in baroque flute performance with world renowned soloist and pedagogue Barthold Kuijken. Sophie is an active performer and has given concerts throughout Europe and in Australia, most recently performing in the Barcelona and Utrecht Early Music Fringe Festivals. James Holland was born in Sydney, Australia, and began his musical life with the electric bass guitar, later switching to the classical guitar in which he graduated with a Bachelor of Music with Honours from the Sydney Conservatorium of Music in 2003. As a classical guitarist James was always interested in transcriptions of lute and vihuela music, and his gravitation towards lute playing was quite a natural one. James is an exciting young player of the next generation of performers of historical plucked instruments, always searching for the marriage between historically informed performance and his own personal interpretation. James studied in Den Haag with Nigel North, Joachim Held and Mike Fentross, and took further lessons with Hopkinson Smith and Elizabeth Kenny. He now performs in solo recitals, as a continuo player for chamber ensembles, opera and accompanying singers. These activities have taken him across Europe, to North America and Australia. James plays renaissance and baroque lutes, vihuela, theorbo and baroque guitar. James has recently performed in the Festival Classique in Den Haag, and the fringe concerts of the Barcelona and Utrecht Early Music Festivals, both as a continuo player and in solo recital. He has performed with the Pinchgut Opera Company, Collegium Musicum Den Haag, de Swaen Ensemble, among others, and has worked with conductors such as Attilio Cremonesi, Patrick Ayrton, Peter van Heyghen, Charles Toot and Sebastian Marq. James will be touring in Australia with baroque flautist Sophie Ardiet until March 2010. In this time he will also be playing a production of Cavalli's 'L'Ormindo' with the Pinchgut Opera Company, and spending time in the sun with friends and family in Sydney. After this he will be based in Paris.- Shop: odax

What Thing Is Love English Lute Songs
CD REVIEW: What Thing Is Love, Peregrine Records ....'I enjoyed it immensely. Amy's is a lovely natural voice, suitably sexy for the sentiments...fine lute playing.... it is a fascinating program...you can purchase single tracks on the internet but I'd rather get the whole CD: it's too good just to select a few tracks.... highly recommended...' - Clifford Bartlett, Editor, Early Music Review, UK '... One of my absolute favourite recordings that I use for High End speaker demonstrations is "What Thing Is Love". It is an excellent recording using varied acoustics and technical combinations with a superb performance from artists of the highest quality in this genre. I strongly recommend it...." -Percy Davidsson, Canseda AB, Scandinavian rep for Onkyo, Sonance, Canton Amy Elizabeth Wheeler REVIEW: Rural Renaissance Festival '...[Wheeler's] voice was a joy to hear...something in her seems to resonate easily with the period, making the music not only exquisite but somehow authentic...' -The Recorder, Greenfield, MA USA BIOS: Amy Elizabeth Wheeler, Soprano: Raised in New York City, Amy Elizabeth Wheeler graduated from the Fiorello LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and from the Manhattan School of Music. Her career, which began with club dates in New York as a singer/songwriter, followed by the film Fame and a European tour of the Broadway musical Hair, has since led her to the Warsaw Chamber Opera in Poland where her debut as Fauno in Mozart's Ascanio in Alba was greeted with a standing ovation. More Mozart roles followed - even the coveted mezzo-soprano role of Cherubino in 'The marriage of Figaro'. She quickly became a popular guest artist in Poland appearing on television and radio and performing with Polish orchestras at international music festivals such as Madrid Mozart Festival, Le Festival d'Europe Nord in Paris, and the 49th International Chopin Festival. As a developing concert artist and ensemble leader in her own right, she organized the Peregrine Consort with musicians from the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, Warsaw Philharmonic, Concerto Copenhagen and the Drottningholm Court Theater. They performed in the International Wratislavia Cantans Festival, Bach Celebration 2000 (Royal Castle Warsaw) and the prestigious 100th Anniversary season of Poland's National Philharmonic. Highlights from concerts include Baldessare Galuppi's motet 'Confitebor tibi Domine', staged versions of Alessandro Scarlatti's serenata 'A battaglia pensieri', and Handel's 'Amarilli Vezzosa' as well as English renaissance songs and duets for soprano and bass. Amy Elizabeth's voice, while classically trained, is rooted in the folk/jazz tradition making her vocal style intimate and accessible to listeners with different musical tastes. Her style and expression were clearly evident in her performances as Cupid in the WCO's production of John Blow's 'Venus and Adonis' which attracted the attention of Poland's leading renaissance lutenist, Jaroslaw Lipski. They have since recorded a CD of English lute songs titled 'What Thing Is Love' and have performed sold-out concerts at every major early music festival Poland as well as receiving a standing ovation for their performance at Poland's National Philharmonic. Archguitartist Peter Blanchette found Amy Elizabeth's synthesis of styles perfect for two of his CD's: 800 Years (Archguitar Records 2001), which featured versions of Mark Knopfler's 'Ironhand' and Irving Berlin's 'Reaching for the moon', and Una Limosa (Archguitar Records 2001) on which she sang Schubert's 'Der Jungling an der Quell'. Amy and Peter received critical acclaim for their concert presented by The Rural Renaissance Festival where they performed music by John Dowland and Nino Rota together with Peter's ensemble the Virtual Consort. While still in high school, Amy worked with producer John Robie (who wrote the club classic 'Planet Rock'),and recorded vocals on "Yashar" (Cabaret Voltaire, Factory Records, 1982) and "City of Wonder" (Island Records, 1989). In 2007, Wheeler & Robie released a club version of the Christmas carol "God rest ye merry gentlemen" and plan to continue their collaboration on future club versions of PD Christmas carols. Amy Elizabeth collaborates regularly with Swedish contemporary composer Jan Alm, who invited her to perform the Swedish premier of his songs scored for voice, harp, piano and string quartet and set to the poems of Nobel laureate Harry Martinson. Joining her were members of the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, and the concert presented by the Gothenburg Konserthus. A repeat performance of the songs was made in a program arranged by Amy Elizabeth titled 'Scandinaviana' which featured vocal and chamber music by Grieg, Sibelius, Stenhammar and Nielsen, presented by Poland's National Philharmonic to inaugurate their newly renovated chamber hall, Sala Kamerlana. In 2000, Amy Elizabeth was a recipient of The Fund, a Rockefellar/Kennedy Foundation award for her work as a U.S. artist performing in international festivals, and, in 2004 she received a Delmas Foundation Award, supporting her research on the 18th century Venetian composer Baldessare Galuppi. Jaroslaw Lipski, Renaissance Lute and Theorbo: Jarolsaw Lipski graduated from the Academy of Music in Warsaw, Poland, with a degree in classical guitar, and received a diploma from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, where he won the 'Principle's Prize.' He studied classical guitar with Gerald Lee and Robert Brightmore, and the lute with Nigel North at Guildhall and at the Summer Academy for Early Music at Innsbruck, Austria. Mr. Lipski has regularly appeared in concerts as solo guitarist in Poland and Great Britain and frequently participates in early music festivals in Poland as a lutenist. He has collaborated since 1996 with The Warsaw Chamber Opera, performing operas by Monteverdi (Vespro della Beata Vergine), St. Landi (Il St. Alessio), and Purcell (Dido and Aeneas). He has also worked with early music groups such as Ars Nova, Lege Artis, Collegio Antico, and The Peregrine Consort. His repertoire focuses primarily on music of 16th -century Poland, 16th & 17th-century England, however in 2002, he organized Concerto Vago, a group devoted to performing Spanish music from the time of Columbus featuring works by Alonso Mudarra, Diego Ortiz, Juan del Encina, and Juan de Anchieta. Mr. Lipski has regularly conducted master classes at the Zywiez Early Music Festival in Poland, and he is the author of The Classical Guitar (Warsaw, Poland: Polskie Wydawnicwo Muzycznie, 2002). His recordings include: 16th Century European Songs and Dances and Music of the Polish Renaissance ( DUX Records) The Music of King Sigmund (Arche Records) Psalms of M. Gomloka (Polish Radio).- Shop: odax
