About Fantasias for Theremin and String Quartet

World-renowned theremin virtuosa Carolina Eyck andAmerican Contemporary Music Ensemble (ACME) will release Fantasias for Theremin and String Quartet on October 14, 2016 via Butterscotch Records. Eyck composed these six Fantasias specifically for the 12” vinyl LP format, a practice reminiscent of early-60s Nonesuch releases. All performances were recorded in full takes with no editing. ACME tracked Eyck’s quartet scores first, and then Eyck overdubbed her deft, fluid, single-take improvisations—thus the fitting title Fantasias. The result is an organic virtuosity that leads the listener through a wide range of sonic environments across the six pieces. Eyck’s striking theremin performances on Fantasiasshowcase her dead-aim intonation, her command of microtonality, her fluid melodicism, and—perhaps most importantly—her utter lack of self-consciousness as an improvisor. This latter quality is no accident, as Eyck has practiced improvisation for years, and has even studied techniques typically aimed at athletes for entering flow-states and shutting down critical inner dialogue.

Notable is that Fantasias was conceived as a 12” vinyl LP from the beginning, this largely due to the insistence of producer and label head Allen Farmelo who co-conceivedFantasias with Eyck. Farmelo maintains that, “The LP is a musical form unto itself, not unlike a symphony or a sonata, complete with explicit structures and implicit expectations. The LP format outlived its physical constraints through the digital era, a testament to its tenacity as an abstracted art form.” Structurally, there are three pieces per side, each of carefully plotted run-length, which form intentional musical arcs—both per side and across the entire LP—not unlike movements in a larger work. Farmelo’s essay that accompanies the LP explores these concepts and others in greater detail.

Carolina Eyck and ACME will give the world premiere live performance of Fantasias at the Baryshnikov Arts Center in NYC on November 4, 2016. The ACME players on Fantasias are Ben Russell, violin; Caroline Shaw, violin (album); Yuki Numata Resnick, violin (live concert); Caleb Burhans, viola; and Clarice Jensen, cello and ACME artistic director.

About Restless

Composer and Bang on a Can All-Stars member Ken Thomson releases his next album Restless distributed byCantaloupe Music/Naxos on October 28, 2016. Restless includes Thomson’sRestless (2013-2014) and Me Vs. (2012) performed by Bang on a Can All-Stars cellist Ashley Bathgate and Brooklyn-based dynamic virtuoso pianist Karl Larson. This album marks Bathgate and Larson’s recording debut as a duo. The composer and performers decided to release Restless primarily on vinyl, with each piece neatly taking one side, in a nod to the vinyl albums of Thomson’s childhood, as well as a way of suggesting to listeners that they digest each piece individually, in its entirety. The album will also be available digitally.

Restless follows Ken Thomson’s 2013 album Thaw (Cantaloupe Music) performed by the JACK Quartet, which was named the No. 1 Classical CD of 2013 by Rhapsody and was featured on NPR's list of “10 Songs Public Radio Can't Stop Playing.” iTunes wrote, “While Thomson can be a prankster, these suites show a serious side worth hearing,” while Time Out New York described the album as, “Brainy, gritty and visceral, the music leaps off the disc.”

Thomson, Bathgate, and Larson have worked together on many Bang on a Can projects throughout the years, collaborating on new music through the All-Stars (of which Bathgate and Thomson are members), the Summer Music Festival at Mass MoCA, worldwide tours, and more. Thomson says, “Working with Ashley and Karl over the process of putting together Restless was really phenomenal. The two of them, who had played together but never this deeply, began to develop this intense and empathetic rapport. It's especially notable because Restless is not really a cello solo with piano but a real duo. During the recording session, the perfectionism of both of them really became clear, but each honored the other generously. Since doing this piece, they have started to play Brahms together and other repertoire to pair with this piece in concert – some might say it’s totally ‘backwards’ to start from the new piece and then go into standard repertoire together, but that is what is happening naturally for them. It's a great ongoing relationship to watch develop.”

Restless (2013-4) for cello and piano and Me Vs. (2012) for solo piano are two of Thomson’s most substantial chamber works. Both pieces consist of multiple movements, last approximately 20 minutes, and are major additions to the solo piano and cello/piano duo traditions. While their forms and instrumentation are a clear nod to traditional idioms, Thomson’s signature blend of jazz, punk, and modern art music is still boiling at the surface. These works highlight the composer’s masterful manipulation of tension and energy. The music churns, building in a wave of dissonance and density while never leaving traditional harmony behind.

Carl Sagan was a Punk...

 "Science and religion are not mutually exclusive
In fact for better understanding we take the facts of science and apply them"

-Screeching Weasel "Science of Myth"

#hailsagan means more to me than some dumb hashtag, I have embraced it as a way of life. Along with NULLIUS IN VERBA (roughly translated to "on the word of no one" or "take nobody's word for it") these have become the ethos or mantra by which I live. It means never taking anyone's word for it unless they can back it up, don't give in, don't give up.

As a punk and a human being I am constantly met with contention and confrontation, of the mind or the person. The world we live in today is a weird and messy place and one will go completely insane if you dont find a way to survive and live in it. One person that I have looked to for encouragement and advice ever since I saw him on the Charles Kuralt show when I was a small child, is Carl Sagan.

If you're not familiar, Carl Sagan was an astronomer, cosmologist, astrophysicist, astrobiologist and communicator in astronomy and other natural sciences. Sagan assembled the first physical messages that were sent into space: the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record, universal messages that could potentially be understood by any extraterrestrial intelligence that might find them.(wikipedia)

To me, he is the closest thing to a spiritual being that ever existed on our planet, a person who truly wanted to understand life and make it better and surprisingly a fucking PUNK. Sagan butted heads with everyone from politicians, religious leaders, communists, democrats, republicans, Christians, Jews, his wives, his children, his family, other scientists, NASA, believers, non-believers and more.  His "punk" ways can be summed up in this quote  from his interview with Charlie Rose.

“Science is more than a body of knowledge. It is a way of thinking; a way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility.

If we are not able to ask skeptical questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority, then, we are up for grabs for the next charlatan (political or religious) who comes rambling along.”

Here is a video excerpt:

If you dont think those are the words of a true punk, maybe you need to reanalyze what kind of punk you really are. Well..being a punk can have a ton of meanings, so I don't wanna get ahead of myself but you get the idea. He stood up for what he believed no matter who he had to fight, he had original ideas and made sure as many people heard about them as possible, he wasn't afraid to take a stand no matter how unpopular it might have been.

In my opinion, being a punk means finding absolute meaning in everything around you and leaving out or kicking out everything else that is against what you believe or that has no place in your life. Its very zen if you feel like thinking about it(most people don't). We as punks have a duty to QUESTION EVERYTHING, we must use our voices and our passions to show the world how truly fucked up it is and hold a mirror to everyone that doesn't have their head on straight. Yes, we are also inclusive and provide a shelter for those that have no place or haven't found their place yet but we also have a civic duty to help our fellow man. Carl Sagan had the same beliefs.

"Widespread intellectual and moral docility may be convenient for leaders in the short term, but it is suicidal for nations in the long term. One of the criteria for national leadership should therefore be a talent for understanding, encouraging, and making constructive use of vigorous criticism."

 - Carl Sagan

Sagan was always thought of as a free thinker or a skeptic; one of his most famous quotes, in Cosmos, was, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence^" (called the "Sagan Standard").  This is something that I have always lived by in my own life and encouraged those around me to live by, as well. Show me respect and you will get respect (something I learned a lot from my Bosnian friends too), show me proof and I will believe in what it is you are trying to tell me, "knuck up or buck up" Crime Mob(not the punkest, I know, but WHAT IS PUNK, really?:) )

The punk subculture, which centres on punk rock music, includes a diverse array of ideologies, fashions and forms of expression, including visual art, dance, literature and film. The subculture is largely characterized by anti-establishment views and the promotion of individual freedom.(wikipedia)

Putting definitions on things is lame and never encapsulates the whole of a situation. Punk doesn't have to revolve around music. I wish it would... but it can't. You don't have to be a spiky jacket to be a punk, you don't have to love Rancid to be a punk, some of the punkest people I know get up every morning and work hard and go to their shitty job to make money to put out records, or drive a shitty van to play their songs, or build bicycles or pour beer. It doesn't matter what you look like, listen to, smell like, as long as you FEEL the same, have the same ideas, convictions, concern and awareness for change. You need an attitude, you need morals, you need thoughts, you need anger, you need suspicion, you need all of these things to FEEL like a human being AND a punk.

I don't intend to lecture here, but rather show what a great man and a great punk Carl Sagan was on this, the 17th anniversary of his death. He had thoughts that at the time were mostly ignored or cast aside as kookoo. His beliefs and thinking on animal rights, marijuana rights, race relations, climate change, religion, extraterrestrials, time travel, and more are things that we are still fighting for and dont entirely understand as a society today. If Sagan were still around he would no doubt be on the front lines fighting for all of this. It is my belief that he would have hopefully found his way into the government side of things in order to make REAL change and not give in to the almighty dollar and not give up on his fight for what is REAL and right. He had scientific proof in the 1970's that is still applied to arguments today, he had more information than a lot of congress has now forty years later. Sagan truly fought for what was right and didn't give a fuck who his opposition was because he knew in his back pocket he had the truth, he had facts, he had honesty, he had fire, he had never ending spirit, he would get kicked down and get right back up. Carl Sagan was a punk.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." 
- Carl Sagan

MeTV: 11 SPOOKY, OBSCURE HALLOWEEN SONGS FOR YOUR RETRO COSTUME PARTY

11 SPOOKY, OBSCURE HALLOWEEN SONGS FOR YOUR RETRO COSTUME PARTY

DIG DEEP IN POP'S GRAVEYARD FOR TUNES CREEPIER THAN "MONSTER MASH."

BY: METV STAFF   POSTED: OCT 11, 2016, 10:52AM

Image: Power Records / Discogs.com

Halloween novelty songs were once so ubiquitous that they weren't really novelty — they were simply pop music. The high point was arguably 1958, a year steeped in horror. Movie marquees were lit with titles like The Fly, The Blob and It! The Terror Beyond Space. Four years earlier, the Comics Code Authority had been created to curb the bloody violence in comic books, though titles like House of Mystery and House of Secrets were still perhaps more popular than superheros. Alfred Hitchcock was spinning dark tales on black & white television.

Naturally, the world of music would follow suit. This love of B-movie monsters and graveyard rock carried through into the early '60s, as Americans tuned in to The Munsters and The Addams Family in their living rooms. In short, there was no better time to be a trick-or-treater. 

Everyone knows "Monster Mash," the smash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kickers that continues to soundtrack costume parties to this day. We wanted to dig a little deeper into pop's grave for lesser-played Halloween jams. The following tunes range from lounge music and doo-wop to rockabilly and garage. Do you remember these playfully eerie singles?

1

THE FIVE BLOBS - "THE BLOB"

1958

Believe it or not, the great Burt Bacharach co-wrote this theme from the hit horror flick, alongside Mack David, the brother of Hal. The Five Blobs were merely a studio creation, as Bernie Knee provided the singing.

Image: Columbia / Discogs

2

ALFRED HITCHCOCK WITH JEFF ALEXANDER - "MUSIC TO BE MURDERED BY"

1958

"The record is long playing, even though you may not be," Hitch intones in his memorable deadpan. What better way to kick off your retro party?

Image: Imperial / Discogs

3

KIP TYLER - "SHE'S MY WITCH"

1958

With its slinking surf riff, "She's My Witch" is a haunting rockabilly number that is perfect for any dive bar jukebox.

Image: Ebb / Discogs

4

BOB MCFADDEN AND DOR - "I DIG YOU BABY"

1959

Cartoon voice actor McFadden is the man behind animated characters Milton the Monster, Cool McCool and Snarf from ThunderCats. Here, he slips into his best vampire impression for a jazzy lounge cut off his album Songs Our Mummy Taught Us.

5

BILL BUCHANAN - "BEWARE"

1962

More silly Dracula voices! "Have you ever thought your boyfriend might be a teenage ghoul?" Buchanan asks. He later warns, "You better check your neck," which sounds like something the Wu-Tang Clan might say.

Image: United Artists / 45cat

6

THE KAC-TIES - "MR. WERE-WOLF"

1963

Werewolves were all the rage, teenage or not. This Brooklyn doo-wop act recorded just a handful of songs, including this amusing plea to not be eaten.

Image: Shelley / Discogs

7

FRANKIE STEIN AND HIS GHOULS - "KNIVES AND LOVERS"

1964

Technically, it's an instrumental, unless you count all the screaming. The song comes off a party album that served up different Halloween numbers for all the dance crazes of the day. The rather sinisterly titled "Knives and Lover" was built for doing "The Swim," according to the sleeve.

Image: Power Records / Discogs

8

SCREAMING LORD SUTCH - "DRACULA'S DAUGHTER"

1964

David Sutch was a true English eccentric, having run for parliament under his Official Monster Raving Loony Party banner. He also recorded cool music with British rock legends, including pioneering producer Joe Meek and guitarist Jeff Beck, who played on the B-side of this tune.

Image: Oriole / Discogs

9

ROUND ROBIN - "I'M THE WOLF MAN"

1965

Baker Knight, who wrote "Lonesome Town," is the musician behind the moniker Round Robin. He rumbles through this scuzzy rocker with true Stonesian swagger.

Image: Domain Records / Discogs

10

F. XAVIER ATENCIO AND BUDDY BAKER - "GRIM GRINNING GHOSTS"

1969

This tune should be quite familiar to regulars at Disneyland. It is the song played on the Haunted Mansion ride. 

Image: Walt Disney / Discogs

11

JAMES DUHON - "GRAVE YARD CREEP"

1974

This funky obscurity came a couple decades later, but has a vintage sound right out of the crypt. Who knew that bongos and dusty soul could make for such a perfect Halloween song?
