Um dos grandes compositores do Brasil, com mais de 500 obras gravadas e também conhecido por ser um dos vocalistas do Sampa Crew, Valtinho Jota lança “Ancestralidade”. Como o próprio título sugere, o álbum traz a força da ancestralidade reverenciada em histórias de amor, como já é uma marca latente na carreira do autor.
Ele recebe como convidados ícones da MPB celebrando os 30 anos de carreira do cantor em grande estilo. Leci Brandão, Jair Oliveira, Mika Da Silva, Viva o Samba Lisboa e Beatriz Carvellini formam a constelação perfeita neste novo trabalho, que transborda serenidade e maturidade em seu repertório.
A capa foi projetada utilizando IA. O designer Willian Aires “treinou” uma das plataformas para recriar uma cena onde o artista, ainda criança, aparece ao lado de sua já falecida avó, também recriada por inteligência artificial, a partir de inúmeras fotos do arquivo pessoal da família.

In spring 1994 Mouse on Mars contributed an exclusive piece to Sähkö Recordings’ ambient radio project, a one-week public radio program that was aired citywide in Helsinki, Finland. Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner recorded sounds in and around their studio in Düsseldorf Bilk to construct one continuous composition that spanned the course of one neighborhood walk. Midi-controlled synths, samplers, analogue effects, tape delays, effect pedals, guitars and a jew’s harp were juxtaposed with recordings captured during the walk. An additional microphone that pointed out of the studio window was occasionally dubbed into the mix. The resulting collage was broadcast just a few months before the group’s debut album Vulvaland came out and never aired again. 30 years into the band’s existence Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner revise the duo’s history by producing three LPs that would place the band’s discography under a slightly different light. Bilk marks the beginning of that investigation: a free-flowing assemblage of everything that vibrates and can be caught on tape. A 30 year old recording with subtle new edits and additions.

Knudsen & Syrjälä – Talende Strenger / Kertovat Kielet (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 38:01 minutes | 437 MB | Genre: Folk
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Taragot
After meeting and jamming at the Nordtrad conference, Ragnhild Knudsen (Norway) and Pauliina Syrjälä (Finland) formed their duo in 2015. The musicians were immediately inspired by the unique soundscape of the Norwegian hardingfele (Hardanger fiddle) and the Finnish kantele together, with the rich and shimmering layer of overtones.
Through musical encounters and hours of exploration, Ragnhild and Pauliina have created their own musical duo world based on friendship, interaction and improvisation, but also an interesting combination of elements emerging from Finnish and Norwegian folk music traditions.
We have been talking with each other, for hours and hours. In between, we have played and made music, with many strings. The strings of our instruments have been talking to each other and to us. Through this ongoing dialogue we have created our musical landscape. As folk musicians, our music has its roots in traditions. In this case, the traditions are geographically quite widespread, between Norwegian mountains in the west, to the Karelian woods and lakes in the east.
You are most welcome to enter our musical world!

Schubert had been dead for seven years when, in 1838, the 27-year-old Liszt returned to Vienna for the first time since his childhood, when he had been taken to see Beethoven by his teacher Czerny an, perhaps apocryphally, been blessed by a kiss from the old man. Now apparently discovering the songs of Schubert for the first time, he began to produce transcriptions of Lieder almost as rapidly as they had been written in the first place.

Tyler Hay – Field: 18 Nocturnes (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:25:44 minutes | 1,31 GB | Genre: Classical

The 18 Nocturnes by John Field (1782-1837) are timeless jewels of the piano repertoire. With his works, the Irish composer and pianist built a bridge between the Classical and Romantic periods and is often regarded as a pioneer of the nocturne, a genre that was later made famous by Chopin. Fields’ nocturnes are characterized by their dreamy, introspective and lyrical character lyrical character. They are “tone paintings of the night”, each piece a tender, emotional journey through the moonlit landscapes of the soul. The innovative use of the sustaining pedal and the gentle, singing melodies create a unique atmosphere. The nocturnes are not virtuoso showpieces, but intimate expressions of feeling. They offer pianists the opportunity to explore fine phrasing and nuanced dynamics, which requires both technical precision and deep emotional connection. Notable examples include the Nocturne No. 2 in C minor, a haunting piece that inspired later composers such as Chopin, and the Nocturne No. 5 in B flat major with its delicate, cascading arpeggios. The young English pianist Tyler Hay has made a name for himself as one of the most remarkable pianists of his generation with his recordings for Piano Classics of works by Liszt (PCL 10138), John Ogdon (PCL 10132) and Kalkbrenner (PCL 10190). “Tyler Hay impresses me deeply. He is an award-winning product of the Purcell School, the Royal Northern College of Music and the Royal College of Music. His technique is more than equal to anything on offer here and he combines this with a subtle sense of rubato, a keen sense of style and a real commitment to the music. I hope to hear more from him.”
