Guitar Suite I - Elegy by kirstydevaney
Guitar Suite II - Trance by kirstydevaney
Guitar Suite - III Phenomena by kirstydevaney
Гитарная сюита Кирсти Девани, композитора из Бирмингема (Англия), отличается от того, что я обычно выкладываю, большей традиционностью и мелодичностью. В современной классической музыке достаточно редко можно встретить хорошо написанную и записанную медленную гитарную музыку, которой иногда очень не хватает. Неожиданно авангардная третья часть выходит за пределы этой традиционности, что тоже очень хорошо.
"This Suite aims to experiment with different techniques of the guitar, but they are still very much pieces of music on their own.
Each movement focuses on different techniques;
I – Moving positions from sul pont to sul tasto and tremolo
II – Changing time signatures and tone
III – Prepared guitar and freedom of rhythm/pulse
First performed by Ben Mitchell"
"Kirsty Devaney b.1990, is studying composition at Birmingham Conservatoire under Ed Bennett and Howard Skempton and has had masterclasses with Louis andriessen and Jo Kondo. She has been arranging and composing for a number of years and has had commissions for both; including a composition which was performed at the Royal Holloway by Voices Anon in May 2010. Compositions have been performed by renowned performers such as the Chroma Ensemble, Rowland Sutherland, CoMA London and the Thallein Ensemble. She has won a number of competitions including the Conservatoire Orchestral Competition, Erica Becket Recorder Composition and came second place in the Philip Bates Award. Her arrangements have been sold via Sibeliusmusic.com and have been performed across the world.
Her interest in promoting new music and musical education has resulted in her setting up many concerts and events. She has conducted concerts and her own works for both orchestra and windband, and aims to continue developing as a composer-conductor."

controllar - trailer park
Немного неформат, разбавляющий суровых академистов, но как же хороши!
It's not our format, not a classical music, but so cool.
trailer park by controllar
"Controllar is an electronic duo gone Pop- gone experimental, then gone pop again. And it is oh so sexy. Years of walking on the tightrope spanning between Billie Holiday and David Bowie caused Controllar to put the puzzle together: from the combination of dramatic song and intricately woven electronic peel, all the way to the raw core of tube distortion and 50 hz saw-tooth synths. And it is OH so sexy."

Marc Yeats - siren song (2006)
siren song (2006) by Marc Yeats
Marc Yeats is a composer and visual artist. His uncompromising music has been performed, commissioned and broadcast around the world. He has worked with many distinguished performers, ensembles and musicians including Psappha, the London Sinfonietta, the Endymion Ensemble, Paragon Ensemble, the Scottish Chamber Orchestra, the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra, Hallé Orchestra, Tokyo City Philharmonic and Gewandhaus Radio Orchestra, among others.
Siren Song
Natalie Raybould, voices: Carla Rees, alto flutes
Dedicated to Natalie Raybould and Carla Rees
For three sopranos, three alto flutes, guitar, percussion and digital sound environment.
'Siren Song' enabled me to indulge my fascination for the siren, the mystical sea spirit, half human female, half sea creature that lures unsuspecting fisherman to their deaths by her seductive song. In this piece, I concentrate on the gentle, mystical aspect of the siren to paint a picture of her watery, ethereal nature, employing sounds that suggested seal cries and whale song as well as other nautical sounds all being part of her alluring aquatic nature. The music is evocative, gentle and hypnotic to the point where the three female voices and three alto flutes act as the one being, calling, enchanting and seducing. 'Siren Song' is assimilated from 'ASCII Dialogues', a piece for soprano and alto flute originally premiered by the artists on this recording.

Philemon Mukarno - Artrax
Artrax by Philemon Mukarno Composer
"Philemon Mukarno, composer, was born in Jakarta, Indonesia. He studied Audio Engineering, Composition and Composition Electronic Music in Royal Conservatory of The Hague and Codarts - University for the arts in the Netherlands. He finished Cum Laude and received the Prize for Composition.
Mukarno is a unique figure in Contemporary Music. The use of electronics is one of his trademarks. The compositions demonstrate in their own way his original ideas and his strife for intense expressiveness, in a musical language that does not refer to tradition. Each piece has a strong economy of Means and a strict control of Form. Means and Form are use by Mukarno in an elementary and powerful way.
His works are performed on International Music Festivals as: Gamelan Festival in Yogjakarta, Indonesia, El Segundo Festival International de Música Clásica Contemporánea in Lima, Peru, Rotterdam Music Biennial, the Netherlands, Internationale Studienwoche für Zeitgenössische Musik 2000 in Lunenburg, Germany and Internationaal Gamelan Festival Amsterdam (IGFA).
