I discovered Elgar lately, and I love cello. DuPré is a great performer. Second album from boyd meet girl. The duo, cello/guitar is really nice.

west-side-trio-alternate-realities-cover-300-high-res West Side Trio Alternate Realities

West Side Trio is a string trio 2.0

On Alternate Realities, West Side Trio defies musical categorization by adding an endless innovative stream of colors and nuances to the idiom.
Exploring all the possibilities of the instruments they signify that a string trio is also; wood, voice, cables, effect pedals, and amplifiers.
In short their own musical world. But what I find the most remarkable is that; while investigating all these different avenues, they create a world where the tune is the most important;
it’s never; “Look what a cool effect I’ve found” but always; “check how this sound enhances the mood of the music.”

Ian Boddy | Chance Delay | bandcamp | FLAC | 24/44.1

This is a solo ambient modular soundscape from Ian Boddy showcasing the features of this module. Clocking in at just over 30 minutes it shows Boddy using the Chance Delay to organically play with time and randomness. Fundamentally this module can govern the chance that an event will occur or not but it can also be used in a myriad of rhythmically interesting ways, as well as to go outside the boundaries of it’s initial design intention by mutating and transforming audio signals

Tabo Tago | Sessions 011 - 20230721 Wall Symposium | bandcamp | 24/48 | FLAC

A studio session recorded on July 21, 2023, Berlin, Germany.
The session was recorded in one go, with no overdubs and no pre-arrangements.

The subject of this current release is an untitled sculpture by the artist RĂŒdiger-Utz Kampmann, located in the Sculpture Park against War and Violence at the Reichstag in Berlin-Tiergarten, photo by Lutz Thuns. This sculpture park is also known as the Mauersymposion (Wall Symposium).

The first sculpture symposium in Germany took place in the summer of 1961 near WĂŒrzburg. There the artists heard about the construction of the Berlin Wall and some of them spontaneously decided to travel to Berlin. From October 1961 to the summer of 1962, they worked on the Reichstag grounds, which were made available to them by the City of Berlin.

TaboTago is all about experimenting, playing and performing electronic music together. After starting out as an Edgar Froese and Tangerine Dream tribute band, the band has now developed its own take on the so-called Berlin School music.

A lot of material has been created during live concerts and recording sessions over the past years. We make this material available to our audience in a series of releases. The music presented here was mostly played under live conditions or similar.

From Qobuz 96 kHz.
I had ordered the vinyl, but given the comments about the quality of the pressing, I thought that I would go down this route.

I went for the high res, just in case there is any discernible benefit and I thought that a record such as this might deserve it.

Ella and Louis Again - 96/24 from Presto.

I already own this album on CD (Verve) and SACD (Analogue Productions). But neither version includes all of the tracks from the original double album release.

Verve hasn’t made this easy, and I didn’t realize that the double album version was the original until I did my research this week. The original had 19 tracks, but 7 of them were actually solo performances. Verve has released several versions omitting these tracks. I actually had the double album version on vinyl (or cassette?) years ago, but I assumed that Verve had added the extra tracks to make me pay for 2 LPs.

Not all of the solo tracks strike my fancy, but most do. And they include my single favo[u]rite pop vocal performance - Louis Armstrong’s version of “Let’s Do It.” I had this on an Armstrong compilation, but I’m hoping for even better sound now.

"Steve’s mastery of analog-based synths textures, sequencer, and hovering atmospherics across the nine tracks where Roach manifests a sonic sanctuary that inspires an unfoldment of one’s own desires, perceptions and intentions. " - some blurb on bandcamp
