    Flambé in Armagnac , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 183min
    Bloggers are calling this series "an obsession". A small town holds fiercely on to its secrets. In the heart of Gascony, a fire ravages the warehouse of one of Armagnac's top estates, killing the master distiller. Wine expert Benjamin Cooker is called in to estimate the value of the losses. But Cooker and his assistant, Virgile, want to know more. How did the old alembic explode? Was it really an accident? Why is the estate owner, Baron de Castayrac, penniless? How legal are his dealings? The deeper the winemaker detective digs, the more suspicious characters he uncovers. There is more than one disgruntled inhabitant in this small town. As we witness the time-honored process of Armagnac distillation and the day-to-day activities of the hunt, the marketplace, and the struggle for power and duck confit, we get a glimpse of the traditions of Southwestern France, where this mystery of possible arson and murder lies below the surface. ungekürzt.

    Not Dead Yet: A Feisty Bohemian Explores the Art of Growing Old , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 449min
    An NPR Book of the Year, “worth, oh well, its weight in gold. . . . vivid and eloquent.” (The New York Times Book ReviewAn upbeat memoir to savor and admire, Not Dead Yet proves that in your later years you can still be going strong . . . and having fun! “Old age is a shipwreck,” Charles de Gaulle once observed. Not so, says Herb Gold in this lively, often hilarious memoir of his first seven decades. He is clearly enjoying every moment to its fullest. This is a book about how time overtakes us, how reminiscence, loss, hope, pain, success, failure—the lifelong accumulation of dreams and reality—crowd about us with every passing day. Combining a fascinating selection of people, places, and key events from a long life into the alembic of his ever-fertile imagination, Gold has distilled gold from his uncanny ability to recall conversations, anecdotes, atmosphere, and telling detail. By turns wickedly funny (“Prostate surgeries and hysterectomies are not immediately visible at art gallery openings.”) and touching (“It’s harder to learn how to laugh alone.”), Not Dead Yet, in this age of overheated memoirs, will surely find its way to a grateful audience both young and young at heart. ungekürzt.

    Wordless Poetry
    "The guitar is one of the most beautiful of instruments, so expressive in it's capacities. Each string is like a different instrument in it's sounds and textures, and with fingerstyle playing the guitar has many voices. I strive to find it's nuances, to allow it's many voices to come through seamlessly but intensely." - David Field, May 2009 I call my signature style of playing the guitar "wordless poetry." I have a rich and gentle style based on a seamless arranging of songs that creates a tapestry of sound. There's firepower there, but my main goal is to create a flowing, connected, uninterrupted feeling in the song. SIDE A 1. LET YOURSELF BE by David Field You can be what you want to be, let yourself be. Let yourself be free, let yourself be. Children need this empowering idea. Many of us as adults actively struggle to unlearn the programming we accepted as children, the programming that traps rather than frees us. 2. POETRY by David Field Whistling through a field of wheat, hand in hand and bare of feet. Chasing a butterfly we hope will never land. 3. RAGTIME RAMBLE by Richard Saslow To be sung in time. Boom, De de de de doo, De de de doo, Ba-boom...a giggle for dabbling digits, a full-blown laugh for full-grown fingers. Tee-Hee (fun). 4. I FEEL FINE by Lennon/McCartney Thanks to Eric Schoenberg for his wonderful book Fingerpicking Beatles published in 1981 by Amsco PublicationsÑI do feel fine! 5. '81 SUMMER by Hans Kasper/David Field In the hills of the Northern California coast, enlightened hillbillies seem to embody a consciousness that reflects the internalized rhythms of nature. Their lives are tuned-in, slowed down. '81 Summer seems to capture this backroads life with a synthesis of technically balanced progressions and the feelings triggered by the essential reality of simple rustic living. Aw, heck: it's just fingerpickin' good!- My Swiss friend, Hans, is a fine composer and musician. I look forward to further collaborations, perhaps with a fully orchestrated album. 6. FOUR AND TWENTY by Stephen Stills Walking on light feet. At 19, in 1970. With Chicago, Boston and San Francisco as destinations for my hopes and dreams, the settings in my life for Stephen's songs. 7. AIN'T NO LIE by Elizabeth Cotten "Been all around this whole wide world. And I just got back today. Work all the week, honey, and I give it all to you. Honey baby what more can I do. Oh baby it ain't no lie..." Elizabeth Cotten took in and nurtured a lost child who turned out to be a member of Pete Seeger's family. A black composer from North Carolina, she would first accept employment as a housekeeper in the Seeger household. Later, the family championed her talents and became her first publishers. Cotten's best-known composition is the widely covered Freight Train. 8. BUCKETS OF RAIN by Bob Dylan I've got all the lovin' honey baby you can stand..." I like the melodic softness of this love ballad and really enjoy articulating the upbeat, flowing arrangement. It offers surprising contrast to the man who is a master at turning the spotlight on conflict. 9. MOON RIVER by Johnny Mercer/ Henry Mancini When I decided to arrange this song for guitar, I rented and saw the movie, Breakfast At Tiffany's for the first time. I was expecting something like a full moon over the Mississippi River. Surprise, no river, but what a great story! I relate to the man's resistance to growing up and to his gradually becoming emotionally and financially responsible. It isn't so easy becoming an adult, and I cherish the hope of finding my Holly Golightly someday. This song nourishes that hope. 10. OVER EASY by Artie Traum In German, Traum means dream. Instructional material is too often sold short. This little dream has the makings of a great song. It lopes along, it's gait smooth and rolling like a Tennessee Walker. Veilen Dank, Artie! Many thanks! Artie publishes his Jazz Guitar Method Book through ROARING STREAM MUSIC (BMI). SIDE B 11. ENOUGH BLUES by David Field Civil Rights and cross cultural respect! Born and raised on Chicago's great South Side. Homage to the community of Blues makers. Enough blues for a small boy to grow up with soul. Impossible to escape. Grateful not to. 12. DEAR PRUDENCE by Lennon/McCartney When this beguiling song on this blow-your-mind Beatles album came out, my friends and I were seventeen-year-olds at the mercy of our hormones. Like everyone before us, we encountered the generation gap but we tried less to bridge it than to dynamite it. We let our hair grow and explored drugs, sex, and music our parents hated. While we decried affluence, we stuck out our thumbs and accepted rides from the affluent. Ours was a counter-culture rebellion. With naive politics and an abundance of heart, we waged war against war. Dear Prudence. As we imagined how to create a beautiful and safe world for ourselves, Prudence spoke directly to the innocence of the inner child, enticing that child to enter a new world built on the values of love, trust, and sharing. We wanted change to be easy, though, because we wanted to go out and play. 13. BOOGALOO DOWN LA-RUE by Richard Saslow This may be just as much fun to listen to as it is to play. Thanks to Richard Saslow for his fine instructional work, The Art Of Ragtime Guitar, published by Green Note. This tune is one that lingers long after the notes are second nature. 14. HOMEWARD BOUND by Paul Simon Home, where my thoughts escaping, home where my music's playing, home where my love lies waiting silently for me. 15. DAVID'S DREAM by David Field The first minute of this dream is a classical piece called Fantasia, the first song I learned to play on guitar, way back when. The entire Dream has meaning I have yet to understand. The end is swift and leaves the dream unfinished, like coming suddenly awake after some real dreams I have known. 16. PRESBYTERIAN GUITAR by John Hartford It's hard to add anything to the original 1971 recording. It's a pristine little beauty that everyone seems to meet with a positive response. Very popular and often requested, it's a piece I couldn't leave off the album without answering to friends who would have been sure to say, Okay, where is it? So everyone, here it is. 17. BACK ROADS by Kate Wolf Sometimes let a Back Road take you home. In 1980, when I moved to Western Sonoma County from Chicago's South Side via Berkeley, I rented a house that came with Kate Wolf's album, Back Roads. I immediately fell in love with Kate's music and songs. Here I was: living in the creek house with a wood stove, two cats in the yard, and Francine. I was in Kate Wolf territory! Seeing Kate live with Nina Gerber at Cotati's Inn of the Beginning remains a most intimate musical memory. Kate is on the other side now, but her songs-strong and deeply drawn from human life-compel me and many others to keep them warm on this side. 18. BOOKENDS by Paul Simon "Time it was and what a time it was, it was. A time of innocence, a time of confidences. Long ago, it must be I have a photograph. Preserve your memories, they're all that's left you..." 19. THANKS A LOT by Raffi "Thanks for the animals, thanks for the land, thanks for the wonder in me. Thanks a lot, thanks for all that I've got. " Raffi is a treasure of positivity for children, as well as his adult fans-including me. His work is not gosh-and-golly stuff. He makes me smile to my toes. Liner Notes: Written by Jennifer Weil & David Field Bouquets...

    Travel in Silence
    If you enjoy artists like Massive Attack, Royksopp, Thievery Corporation, Enigma, Vangelis, Café del Mar, Buddha Bar etc., you will love this album from the Norwegian music project Homeless Balloon! The CD has more than anhour of acoustic and electronic pieces inspired by ambient, world fusion, chill out and experimental electronica. A highly eclectic album to ease your soul! A limited stock of the CD comes with a nice Digipak cover. A digital booklet with images, information about the recording, the instruments and the artist, can be downloaded free from the official artist page of Homeless Balloon. Homeless Balloon is the music project of Norwegian composer and artist Helge Krabye, who was born 1953 in Oslo. He has composed music for more than eighty television documentaries, radio plays, fantasy stories and art projects as well as more than a hundred signature melodies and musical jingles. In his music, he is known for combining acoustic instruments with experimental, electronic sounds, and for building strong melodies. Helge Krabye's first instrument was a small, wooden zither that his grandmother gave him when he was four years old. At six, he started taking violin lessons and later began playing first violin in Nordtvet Skoles Strykeorkester in Oslo. His teacher Peter Hindar (well known for his performances with Hindarkvartetten) encouraged him to practice more, but he didn't have the patience. One day Peter Hindar caught him in cheating, he didn't read the music, he played it by memory and by ear... That was the end of one era, but the beginning of another. When Helge Krabye was 15, big boys were supposed to play guitar, not violin - and he quit the school orchestra. His grandmother gave him a violin, so he never really got rid of it... He took up the violin again after high school, encouraged by his friend Vegard Brenna who played piano. Since then, he has often used violin in his recordings. With the Tandberg 1200X tape recorder he bought for the money he received at his Confirmation, Helge Krabye started composing music and creating new sounds. Very much inspired by Karlheinz Stockhausen and the Beatles, he developed an ear for sound. He was able to dub his guitar with noises and voices from the radio. One of the first compositions was 'Song of the world', a montage of acoustic guitar, radio tuning and voice samples like Mr. Richard Nixon announcing the end of the Vietnam War and an overexited radio dj announcing the (terrible) movie 'Song of Norway'. Music meant a lot to Helge Krabye as a teenager, and he bought a lot of LP's and even made his own listening charts every week. He discovered 'Astral Week' by Van Morrison, 'Inner Mounting Flame' by John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, 'What's going on' by Marvin Gaye, the experimental music of Karheinz Stockhausen and Terry Riley, as well as Mozart's 'Symphony No. 40' with the great conductor Carlo Maria Giulini. After high school, he went to technical school in NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Cooperation) to become a sound engineer. Here he was able to use professional recording studios and instruments, and he played guitar with his classmates. With a class mate, he was responsible for the innovative radio program 'Lydbåndmix' ('Music Tapes') where amateur musicians were invited to send in their own musical compositions. Several later to be well known, musicians and singers were among the artists who were discovered through the program. Later, Helge met Arnfinn Christensen, who became a close friend, and who jumped in as program host with Helge in the next series of 'Lydbåndmix'. Arnfinn also played instruments and made his own music. He owned a Tascam Portastudio, and they made several songs and instrumental tunes together. (The cassette 'Spillopper' is still available). Arnfinn has contributed by playing recorder on many of Helge's pieces during the years, and the compositions 'Order and Chaos' (fantasy story for radio) and 'Beatie Bow' (a popular Radio Play) were highlights. When MIDI arrived in the late eighties, Helge Krabye purchased his first Macintosh SE (in 1987) with the MasterTracksPro MIDI sequencer and a Roland S-10 sampling keyboard, as well as the first multitimbral synthesizer: the Roland MT-32. He was working close with radio pioneer Lars Lønne who was program host in the successful youth program 'AB 8-12' in NRK, and he invited him to make jingles for the program. Helge also composed illustrative music for the program, and when he started receiving royalties from airplay, he was able to upgrade his studio and instruments and purchased the very first hard disk recording system for a personal computer, 'SoundTools' from Digidesign (later to be named ProTools). He used his equipment for composing jingles and creating original sound landscapes when he became responsible for the next youth radio program in NRK: 'ABRS'. In this program, that was broadcast every working day in the afternoon, Helge also programmed various interactive games in HyperCard, with sound effects and musical pieces built into the applications and the Macintosh computer connected to the radio mixer in order to create a rich sound design live on air. Helge Krabye first started to work as a technician in the Radio Drama department in NRK in 1986, and director Kyrre Haugen Bakke allowed him to compose music for the fantasy story 'The Magician's Nephew', one of the great books in the 'Narnia Chronicles' by C. S. Lewis. Being in control of both music and sound design, was a nice responsibility! He enjoyed this a lot, and he later wrote his own story with music and sound effects for children, 'Herr C og bestevennen som ble borte'. Arnfinn Christensen also worked in the Children's Department in radio at that time, and Helge composed music to several of his great fantasy stories. In 1997, Helge Krabye realized that the budgets for the radio got lower every year, and it was time for him to move on. He started to work with post production (sound) in NRK Fjernsynet (television). Soon after, he was responsible for doing the sound design for the documentary journalists in 'Brennpunkt', and they invited him to compose music as well. Since then, he has composed original music for more than sixty television documentaries, both within and outside NRK. Helge Krabye also has a great interest in interactive media and computer games, and he programmed a special interactive HyperCard game called 'Nysgjerrigper' for Norges Forskningsråd in 1990. He also programmed the 'Midt i Planeten' ('Worlds apart') with Arnfinn Christensen - a computer game where the alien Gorx is guiding us through our solar system. The game was included with the new Macintosh Centris multimedia computers that Apple started selling in Norway in 1993. 2001 was in a way a highlight in Helge Krabye's career as a composer for television, since the five part documentary series 'Det gåtefulle Kina' (Mysterious China) was a success and was shown in several countries around the world the following years. (A remix of the best music pieces from this series was finally released on CD in August 2007.) In 2004, he composed original music for nature documentarist and fotograhper Arne Nævra and his nine part television series 'Villdyr og Villmark' ('Global Safari'), an adventure and wildlife series shot in Russia (Wrangel island and Kamchatka), Rwanda, India, Borneo and Alaska Helge Krabye has contributed to other artist's projects as well. He contributed on acoustic guitar for Øystein Ramfjord (Amethystium) on his CD project 'Evermind' (2004), an album that climbed high in the ambient and new age charts around the world. He also played electric guitar (with Ebow), Alembic electric bass and some percussion on the track 'Moths Drink the Tears of Sleeping Birds' on Kit Watkins 2006 CD album 'SkyZone'. In 2005, Helge Krabye began working as a video editor in NRK, a profession that made it possible to combine all his experience from drama, storytelling, sound design and graph
