David Bagno - Movement for Violin and Piano Classical, New Age Classical, Romantic Piano Florida, United States Overall Impression: Composer David Bagno has released a gorgeous and emotional new piece entitled Movement for Violin and Piano. Throughout the work, the piano seems to be having a conversation with itself. Both hands rise and fall melodically, gesturing toward one another like a pair of dancers. The primary melodic motif is kept simple, using only one rhythmic shift to stay in the listener's memory effectively and effortlessly. While there are changes in texture, and clear sections to the piece, the character never shifts. This is a warm and emotionally-driven work that uses its short running time well. The violinist captures its heart-wrenching essence, and gently hovers above the piano. There are moments where rawness replaces overt beauty, allowing for a more realistic and relatable listening experience well suited for the chamber ensemble. ...

Like snow falling under moonlight, this piece seems to twinkle delicately with magic. The woodwinds carry the opening melody effortlessly, providing an innocence that is simply divine. As the piano makes its entrance, the listener is lifted off of the ground before the strings instill a strong sense of hope. These sensations are remolded by Grenier's masterful exploration through varying moods and textures in the piece. He avoids sitting on one idea for too long in this work, and focuses on the transformative aspect of music. This is a feature of his compositional style that fans are sure to recognize.

Broken diminished chords are laid out on the piano via repetitive figures, while haunting woodwinds hint at eerie melodies on this contemporary classical number that is sure to leave listeners feeling astounded and bewildered.

Lisa Swerdlow - A Rhapsody Lives in You Classical, New Age, Classical Crossover California, United States Overall Impression: I've had the great pleasure of experiencing Lisa Swerdlow's work before and if there was one thing I was certain of when heading into Lisa's new offering "A Rhapsody Lives In You", it was that I was undoubtedly in for another emotionally moving listening experience positively filled to the brim with Lisa's graceful musical nature and accomplished sense of melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic elegance, and I'm glad to say that I was right. "A Rhapsody Lives In You" is another exquisitely performed and lovingly written Neo-Classical composition that is both wonderfully balletic and delicately crafted, and whether it'd be the tenderly conveyed piano, the wonderfully implemented string and woodwind embellishments, or powerful emotion evoking themes, this is another fantastic piece of writing that is an ab...

Project Isolar - Embrace me Alternative/Alt. Rock, Electronica, Classical Hoganas, Sweden Overall Impression: Project Isolar bares their soul with the release of the new tune Embrace Me. Opening with solemn, heartfelt piano, Embrace Me instantly casts an intimate and raw atmosphere. This new Alternative Rock tune is not scared of being vulnerable, and uses elements of Euro Pop and Rock to make its statement known. After the piano runs its course, an electrified drum groove kicks in to bring in the next verse. By this point, the vocals have already made a strong impression on the listener. Powerfully bright and nasal, they soar high above the groove and give the song a unique sound that sticks in the listener's mind. They loudly open their arms and create a warm, welcoming environment. This builds very nicely from the initial piano opening, and gives a strong sense of growth to the tune. Overall, Embrace Me by Project Insolar is the musical hug needed by all ...

Sounds M - Vanished Classical, Neo Classical, New Age Music Osaka, Japan Overall Impression: Mayumi Masuya's brilliant neoclassical-inspired "Vanished" is a beautifully haunting and truly mesmerizing composition that confidently basks in its absorbing atmospheric textures and ambiance-inducing melodic explorations, treating listeners to a particularly foreboding listening experience that revels in its deeply eerie nature with the utmost conviction. Mayumi not only demonstrates great poise in her writing but a well-defined sense of creative vision that allows her to effectively target a very specific emotional response from her audience, helping to heighten the effect "Vanished" has on listeners profoundly. Strongest Point(s): With a title such as "Vanished", I think it's safe to say that Mayumi is aiming to establish a particularly ominous feeling in her music that aims to keep listeners both in a state of unease and heig...

Michael Hugh Dixon - Seven and Nine Classical, Easy Listening, New Age Music Sydney, Australia Overall Impression: Australian composer Michael Hugh Dixon has released his new chamber work for wind ensemble Seven and Nine. Over a rippling bed of brass, a bassoon soloist meanders with a delicate, almost whispering approach that draws focus and pulls the listener in. Their vibrato becomes a color, and the occasional dynamic outbursts shade the lines. This first section of this new Classical piece serves as a fine appetizer for the militaristic and spinning episodes that soon follow. With mechanistic precision, the soloist and ensemble trade spirited, rhythmic motifs that come to define the most memorable sounds of Seven and Nine. This is quickly washed away with swirling effects and incredibly intriguing tone colors from the ensemble. As the militaristic atmosphere returns, Seven and Nine is given a strong sense of completeness that puts the listener at ease. Overal...

Raging Embers - Basket Case Classical, Rock, Contemporary Classical, New York, United States Overall Impression: Having previously reviewed and very much enjoyed Raging Ember's fantastic cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Big Love", I excitedly dived into this cover of the classic Green Day tune "Basket Case" with both high expectations and gleeful intrigue to what magic Raging Embers might have managed to conjure up this time, and I can safely say that those expectations have been resoundingly met! Raging Embers whisks up yet another wonderfully arranged and performed orchestral piece that successfully shines a new creative perspective on the original source material whilst still managing to retain its essential characteristics, resulting in a beautifully composed masterclass in orchestral writing that is breathtakingly refined, wholly inspired, and exquisitely recorded and mixed. Strongest Point(s): As to be expected from a Raging Embers ...

The way the vocals interact with the rest of the orchestra creates this great sense...

Raging Embers - Big Love Classical, Rock, Contemporary Classical New York, United States Overall Impression: "Big Love" has always been one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac tunes, and to hear it re-imagined as an epic-sounding orchestral piece is quite something! Raging Embers has cooked up a fantastic cover that manages to balance its moments of majestic grandeur and delicate introspection marvelously. With its sweeping strings, jazz-induced brass elements, and striking percussive bravado, this is one of those covers that respectfully honors the original whilst using its creative foundation as a springboard to reach exciting new musical ground. Strongest Point(s): I've said this many times before in the past, but I believe it stands to reason, any great cover needs to find that very specific middle-ground that allows it to honor the original whilst also allowing it to explore fresh new creative areas, areas that shine a new perspective on the orig...
