Zachary Bruno – Margin (improv) (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Neoclassical, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“What makes a feather light and why not be a fairy-tale hero? Just listen to Zachary Bruno and its new composition Margin (improv). And you go up into the air and fly high above the forest like a super hero feather. Fabulous adventure!”

“Что бы стать легким перышком не обязательно быть сказочным героем. Достаточно послушать Zachary Bruno и его композицию Margin (improv). И вы поднимитесь в воздух и полетите высоко над лесом. Сказочных приключений!”

-Nagamag.com

Margin is an improv inspired by the cultural and societal "new normals" everyone has undergone in the past few months. It describes distancing, quarantine, prayer, and alone-ness through the use of musical space and minimalism.

In August 2013, Zachary released his debut album, Before the Rain, which reached #37 on the New Age charts. Kathy Parsons, of MainlyPiano.com called the collection of original solo piano pieces “amazing music and an extraordinary beginning to a very promising career in music.” After being introduced to piano lessons at age 6, music composition almost instantly caught Zachary’s interest. And it wasn’t long before he was attempting to scribble down melodies and riffs onto homemade staff-paper. While composition came naturally to Zach, it took the constant encouragement of family and friends to finally persuade him to record his first album of his original compositions. Finally, after over 4 years of practicing, composing, and putting the final touches on the pieces, Zachary released his debut album of 12 original piano solos out into the world. The album would be titled, Before the Rain (2013). It did not take long before he saw an interest for his music, and a year later, he released his second album, Dawn Light (2014), which was promptly nominated and awarded 2015 Album of the Year by Whisperings Solo Piano Radio (2016). Zachary is currently working on his third solo piano album scheduled for release in late fall of 2018.

Tonal languages and sounds that goes straight to your heart. While writing The Mess i tried to capture the music my mother used to listen to. Prokofjevs Peter And The Wolf and the Flamenco she listened to when she felt homesick”

The Mess was recorded in Tambourine Studios in Malmö. It is produced, and arranged by Tomas Borgström. ”The biggest difference from our previous releases is the acoustic sound.

Many years later, after graduating from the university of Lund with a masters degree in improvisational music, He realized that he needed to create something different. He had to reinvent himself. That ́s when he met AstroMike Gordon for the first time. They met in the darkest ally of his mind and put all of their knowledge and ideas together. But above all they added their voice, which is one of the most powerful voices on the pop scene today. AstroMike Gordon ́s voyage started in March 2012 but reached a new level in 2014 when the debut album was released. The Second album "On Cloudy Days" was released in 2018.

e.no – Why Should I Run – Radio Edit (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Blogwave, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“e.no pinch us to think -why should i run- ?, with his new single under the imprint - A Grand Strategy. Teasing us with the right synthpop craft of synth arp layers and groove, with an abundant wide vocal performance and an upbeat chorus. Stop to run, and enjoy good music.”

-Nagamag.com

Ever having those nights when your mind moves back & forth like a grinder, through things to do & come & already gone? Why should I Run is a little song to soothe your restless head, a charming plea for a moment of halt in uncertain and relentless times. The track’s sweet 80s-infused synth melodies and its pop attitude might fool you into believing this is just another superficial radio pop song. But the lyrics and e.no’s very immediate vocals give proof that this is not just another background-playing elevator tune.

Why Should I Run? is the first single off e.no’s debut album, due to release in February 2021. Together with a long list of guests and featured artists, he explores an astonishing variety of styles and genres, including Folk, Soul, Acoustic pop, Techno, Disco, Breakbeat and Hip Hop, always with a strong focus on lyrics. The album revolves around the topic of the clear ambiguity, shimmering variety and pale randomness of modern urban life.

https://www.enoversum.de/

e.no is an independent solo artist, producer and DJ from Berlin.

Finding inspiration in Nordic Singer/Songwriters, Indie Pop, trashy 90s Radio Dance and Electronic Funk, he oscillates between honest, hand-crafted songwriting and the glittering, noise-heavy sphere of electronic music. From sparsely arranged, almost inaudible acoustic songs to massive, itchy dance tracks, you can easily spot e.no’s urge to always explore new ideas and expressions.

On stage he thrives with an astonishing range of styles and an eclectic electro-acoustic performance with vocals, piano, Glockenspiel, synthesizers, effects and his trumpet.

Besides continuous performances on festivals and stages in Germany, Prague, New York, Bucharest and Copenhagen, e.no writes music for theatre plays, animation films, web TV series and a smartphone game, but also produces and remixes other artists and projects.
