Since 1998, Trey Anastasio has toured and recorded with several backup musicians, including several side-projects organized and led by the guitarist and composer. While active, his bands did not have a name. Fans commonly referred to them as Trey Anastasio Band, or TAB for short. Through its brief history, Trey Anastasio’s band continued to add members, starting as a trio and ending as a dectet.
In the fall of 2012 Trey’s touring band, Trey Anastasio Band, returned to the road in support of Traveler, which also features many members of the band. From it’s beginnings in 1998 the band has included original members Russ Lawton (drums), and Tony Markellis (bass), and over the years has added Cyro Baptista (percussion), Ray Paczkowski (keys), Jennifer Hartswick (trumpet, vocals), Natalie Cressman (trombone, vocals). The latest tour featured new-comer James Casey (saxophones, vocals).
Marie Nishiyama – L’ESSENZA dell’arpa barocca a Napoli (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Time – 01:07:17 minutes | 2,45 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © OMF
A baroque harp called arpa doppia (meaning double harp). It was an instrument that strongly fascinated people, coloring all kinds of music, including vocal, instrumental, religious, and secular music. Although much of its history is ambiguous, it was written by V. Galilei (father of astronomer Galilei and a music theorist). Shortly before 1580, his double-stringed harp (corresponding to the white and black keys on a keyboard) containing semitones arrived in Italy. It seems that it was conveyed. In the early 17th century, he devised an instrument with three strings (corresponding to white keys, black keys, and white keys). All six of his composers included here are from or have ties to Naples. Although they are rarely mentioned in the “Harp”, they ushered in a new style of keyboard music and greatly expanded the possibilities of the harp. It is notable for its openness. But why “keyboard” and “harp”? The strong relationship between the two is. It might be better to say that they are like “earth” and “sky.” Clouds absorb moisture and heat from the earth. As if painting a sky pattern, the harp underwent a major transformation into his three-string structure in search of perfection as a keyboard instrument.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © OMF
“Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach” is a valuable document packed with the teachings of Johann Sebastian, which gives a glimpse of the high expectations of Friedemann, the 10-year-old eldest son of the Bach family. For us today as well, when studying Bach’s works, this music book can be said to be a treasure trove of techniques for learning about the performance styles and composition methods of the time. It’s not just for practice, it’s beautifully lined with highly artistic works, and Marie Nishiyama plays them brilliantly.

Ténéré – Be My Guest (Extended) (2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 37:59 minutes | 776 MB | Genre: Electronic, Dance
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Nowadays Records
In Be My Guest, Ténéré allows other artists such as Moka Boka, Sabrina Bellaouel, Penelope Antena, Clara Sergent to shine.
Be My Guest is an EP that gathers a constellation of emotions born from meetings and confrontations between personalities.
His influences are broad, from electronic (Just Fine, And On) to Hip Hop (A Qui l’Honneur, How I Feel, Be My Guest), or classical through jazz or gospel (Gone Away, Living Waters).
His switch from organic to analogical sounds defines him as a master in harmonies.
February 2018, hospitalized urgently after his health suddenly let go, Ténéré passes a ten days in a hospital bed. Forced to rest and in a form of confinement, the themes of the fragility of the body and the grace of life shake the cerebral life of the producer who, weaned from his machines, is surprised to write some lyrics and melodies associated.
Once restored, he gives body to the piece and makes contact with Sabrina Bellaouel to send to her a beat. The two artists do not know each other, but their worlds come together undeniably in this composition. And since everything is better, the artistic and human connection is in evidence and they decide to finish the title with 4 hands.
Done within a few weeks, Gone Away is an iconoclastic ballad that combines Gospel with Electro, it tells the fragility of life, the ephemerality of our condition, and the beauty that emerges, like this hyacinth taken from his hospital bed, which can be seen on the cover.
This collaboration armed him with a strong identity, marrying RnB and electronic music through baroque accents.

“A quartet for string orchestra! That sounds strange to you. I already know all the objections that will be raised: ruination of intimacy, of individuality. But that is an error. What I intend is only an ideal representation of the quartet. Chamber music is primarily written for the living room. It is really enjoyed only by the performers. The four ladies and gentlemen who sit at their music stands are also the audience towards which this music turns. If chamber music is transferred to the concert hall, this intimacy is already lost. But even more is lost. In a large space the four voices are lost and do not speak to the listener with the power that the composer wanted to give them. I give them this power by strengthening the voices. I unravel the expansion that is dormant in the voices and give the sounds wings.”
Thus Mahler in an open letter in the Viennese newspaper Die Wage in January 1899. On 14 January, during his first season as chief conductor of the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra, he was to conduct the premiere of his arrangement for string orchestra of Beethoven’s String Quartet opus 95 ‘Quartetto serioso’. And what Mahler had anticipated did indeed occur during this concert: after the first movement loud cries of boo erupted, countered by fervent applause from Mahler’s supporters. Despite his deep conviction, Mahler never performed his arrangement again. His score and the orchestral parts were found in the late 1980s in the Viennese Philharmonic Orchestra archive. The arrangement was first published in 1990, and since then Mahler’s version of the ’Quartetto serioso’ has had a permanent place on concert stages around the world.

Waiting For The Sun, The Doors’ third album and its first chart-topper, delivered the No. 1 signature smash “Hello, I Love You” and the Top 40 hit “The Unknown Soldier.”
Slant Magazine proclaims that Waiting For The Sun contains some of The Doors’ prettiest, most genial lilts: “Love Street,” a fictionalized sketch of the Bohemian street where Morrison lived with his wife, Pamela Courson; the wistful “Summer’s Almost Gone,” which includes the lovely refrain, “Morning found us calmly unaware/Noon burned gold into our hair”; and the placid piano ballad “Yes, The River Knows.” More and more, says Slant, Morrison was starting to emulate one of his idols, Frank Sinatra — “after all, they had an insatiable taste for women and alcohol in common.”
Waiting For The Sun was also some of The Doors’ most combative, political work. “The Unknown Soldier” was a barefaced antiwar attack, a reaction to the Vietnam-era hostilities brewing on the home front.
Analogue Productions and Quality Record Pressings are proud to announce that six studio LP titles — The Doors, Strange Days,Waiting For The Sun, Soft Parade, Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman — are featured on 200-gram vinyl, pressed at 45 rpm. All six titles are also available on Hybrid Multichannel SACD! All were cut from the original analog masters by Doug Sax, with the exception of The Doors, which was made from the best analog tape copy.
A truly authentic reissue project, the masters were recorded on tube equipment, and the tape machine used for the transfer of these releases is a tube machine, as is the cutting system. Tubes baby!
