Yazz Ahmed - Jamil Jamal
Can - Vitamin C
Mary Jane Leach - Pipe Dreams
Pipe Dreams (1989) was written for the organ in St. Peter's Köln, which has two sets of pipes at opposite ends of the church. Each rank has separate sounds and stops that can combine to create microtonal intervals. Pipe Dreams is a structured improvisation, exploring antiphony and the specific sounds of that organ, extra-musical as well as musical. The tempos and exact notation are left open. Ornamentation occurs when the sound warrants it: i.e., to not only obtain musical results, but to make extra-musical sounds occur. The weather affected the sound and action of this organ, changing every day, so realization changed daily. The melodic material is very simplistic, because that is what created the most interesting resultant sounds.
Khaled Kurbeh & Raman Khalaf Ensemble - Shamal
Byron Westbrook - Prismatic
Enjoy.
