Dear friends:
It’s been a long time since the last update, and it seems that, unfortunately, the world is not getting any more empathetic. If music is indeed the ‘healing force of the universe’ we have a lot of work to do. I believe that music is a safe space, that engagement will do no harm, and that it may actually help!
We are about to release two new Ramboy audio recordings:
The first is a 2-CD set of Michael Moore’s ‘Universe Quartet’ with Guillermo Celano on electric guitar, Omer Govreen on bass and Onno Govaert on drums. This band has been a point of concentration for the last couple of years.
Here’s a Bimhuis concert from two years ago.
We are playing a repertoire of pieces written during the last 40 years which have seldom, if at all, been performed. The tunes are, for a Ramboy release, suitably eclectic - quite a lot of different textures, but also quite a few ‘traditional’ circular harmonic forms. We certainly had fun making these, 26 in total pieces - 2 hours of fun and games!
The second is a set of intimate duo conversations with Nico Chientaroli on piano and myself on alto sax and clarinet. Our colleague Hristo Goleminov did an excellent job recording this spontaneous music in the splendid acoustic and with Nico on the lush Steinway grand of Splendor.
Meanwhile the songbook has arrived — whittled down to 149 pieces.
