Orchestra of the 17th Century: Dido and Aeneas - Sailor's Dance

Orchestra of the 17th Century: Dido and Aeneas - Sailor's Dance Video Clips. Duration : 0.85 Mins.


Orchestra of the 17th Century, Washington DC Michael Holmes, Music Director Live performance of Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas: Sailor's Dance The Orchestra of the 17th Century ("O17"), directed by its founder Michael Holmes, is dedicated to the exploration and promotion of music from the century that saw the birth of the modern notion of the "orchestra." Since there was no standardized orchestra for most of the 17th century, each performance by O17 is a unique experience in instrumental color. Its audiences hear groups that feature a variety of wind instruments such as cornetts, sackbuts, curtals, shawms, and recorders, as well as performances that feature the more familiar large string group with continuo. O17 is now in its eighth season of its existence and still striving to produce more unique and fascinating programs otherwise difficult to produce due to the specialized use of period instruments. One of the subsets of O17 is the Washington Cornett and Sackbutt Ensemble, North America's premiere ensemble of its kind. Another subset is the Ensemble Stylus Luxurians. O17 released its first CD recording of Roman and Venetian music in the Fall of 2004, in collaboration with the Choir of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington DC Contact: musicdirector@uucss.org

Mp3 Stereocrash - Crypto City Orchestra

Mp3 Stereocrash - Crypto City Orchestra Tube. Duration : 0.22 Mins.


xxsurl.com Mp3 Stereocrash - Crypto City Orchestra Lose yourself in an endless sea of analog guitar scapes. They will leave your mind light years from where it gets on. 7 MP3 Songs ELECTRONIC: Ambient, ROCK: Noise Details: Despite what your ears may tell you this record contains no keyboards, computer synths or loops of any kind. Guitars from the 1950's, tape delays from the 1970's and aging analog recorders are the tool chest for the creation of Crypto City Orchestra. As Stereocrash frontman and guitarist Charles Perkins explains: "I have long been a fan of ambient electronica and wanted to try my hand at some instrumental works. Some film producer friends of mine really enjoyed 'Open' and 'Seascraper' from my first record and encouraged me to develop a work based on those themes. I don't own any sequencing gear or synths so I started experimenting with ways to extend and layer guitar and noise tracks together. For low end sounds beyond the range of the signals a slowing of the tape was used instead of digital pitch shift. After a year or two of experimenting I was left with a huge pile of music and noise. Some months of carefully combing through it all yielded what I think is a pretty unique work. Crypto City Orchestra represents what I love in ambient music yet discarding some of the glassy sheen that I feel can distance such music from the listener." Crypto City Orchestra is a soothing yet emotional journey for the mind. Powerful and graceful if you enjoy ambient ...
