APRIL 2016 Martin Romberg Witch Mass Composer Martin Romberg’s Witch Mass, his second CD on the LAWO label, features choral compositions based on ancient magic spells and hymns to nature spirits — rituals, it is said, still secretly practiced in rural Italy. Moon goddess Diana’s daughter Aradia, Pan, blood sacrifice, and boiling witches’ cauldrons are some of the elements. Yet it is white magic, not black, that is always central.

APRIL 2016 Transylvania-based Csillagköd, Oliver Dombi’s cyber-space ambient project, delves deeply into a sonic investigation of the paradoxes of existence with his new album All the Time on Spotted Peccary Music. This new release is a vast projection of cavernous spaces from beyond this planet to subatomic structure, all without the confines of the human construct of linear time. In true ambient form, it flows and spirals deep into minimal melodic textures and electronic ambiences which provide the listener with a guided tour of these macro and microcosms, while suggesting that future, past, and present are all one.

Selling Points • Ideal for contemplative, meditative, or active focused listening.

• Airplay on Echoes & Hearts of Space nationally syndicated radio.

• Service to college, community, internet, and public radio specialty programs and reviewers.

Oliver Dombi: synthesizers, programming Track Listing: All Directions (Brainshaped Universe) • Spheres (Part 2) • Everything is Happening • Only Matter • VY Canis Majoris • Long Far Distant • Cosmic Ocean • Merging of Substances • Outside this World • Transexistential Perspectives

Buda Musique Bella Ciao In 1964, Bella Ciao was the first of the great historical shows to make accessible the heritage of traditional songs gathered over the preceding decade: songs of labor, struggle, and protest as well as simple serenades, appearing in a program that was not confined to specialists or political gatherings. The show continued its triumphant run for several months, giving new blood to the Italian folk revival movement; here, it is revisited by some great names of contemporary Italian music.

“It’s hard to find a more fruitful meditation on American music than in the compositions of guitarist Bill Frisell.

Mixing rock and country with jazz and blues, he’s found what connects them: improvisation and a sense of play.

Unlike other pastichists, who tend to duck passion, Mr. Frisell plays up the pleasure in the music and also takes on another often-avoided subject, tenderness.”
