#musicmonday No. 8 – Piano music by Fabrizio...
If you like piano music, somewhere between Post-Minimal Music of french composer Yann Tiersen (who became famous with the soundtrack of “Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain”), the neo-romanticism of Italian composer and pianist Ludovico Einaudi and the piano improvisations of Keith Jarrett of the 1970s, I’m pretty sure that you will enjoy the music of Italian pianist and...

#musicmonday No. 7 – The Avantgarde of Marco...
As you may have noticed, I dropped last week’s #musicmonday. I was off for a quick holiday in my home country Sardinia/Italy. Now I’m back in Germany and even if I still got a lot of things to catch up, I’ll take some time to dedicate a few words to one of the most creative, most versatile and most interesting artists (that’s a lot of “most”) in the free music...

Remarkable releases - July 2011
Was there a little slowdown in the July releases due to the summer holidays? Or is it just me, being busy with my dayjob, that kept me from discovering/listening to more new music? Anyway, here are the new releases I stumbled upon last month, that I found too good to be overlooked (I may have to update this July-list a couple of times):

#musicmonday No. 5 – Electroacoustic art pop by...
I really love classical music, but as you might know I like good pop music too, as well as ambient music (I like progressive rock and singer/songwriter too, but that’s another story). What I usually don’t like is what clever label manager call “crossover”, because all too often it means that some cute opera starlet is lilting some stupid sob stuff (preferably a couple of...
