  2. Announcing “Flight of Ecstasy”!

    Over the course of two weekends in June 2025, I had the immense privilege of participating in a three-concert series around Los Angeles County featuring SOCAL-CELLO-CENTRIC: a group of local composers and musicians. Twelve of us were invited to compose brand new original works featuring the cello in various ways, and we all pitched in together to perform each others’ works for local audiences.

    For my part of this project, I embraced my long-time love of Nordic symphonic-metal — think bands like Within Temptation and Nightwish — to create a driving and fierce string trio called “Flight of Ecstasy”! Here, this video below takes the best moments from all three concerts during its premiere run to create a taste of what a joy it was to perform this work, joined with Julissa Bozman on viola and Kathryn Carson on cello.

  3. As randomly chosen by survey* on Mastodon, our next spotlight is on number 866 on The List, submitted by leonardo.

    I assumed I knew nothing of this musician and composer, as the name, face, and sound didn’t ring any bells whatsoever. But then Wikipedia told me that Tiersen did the score/soundtrack for the French film Amélie! Mon dieu, I love Amélie!

    While only one or maybe two tracks on this album remind me of Amélie, it does makes me think it could be a soundtrack to an as-yet unseen film. It’s positively full of absolute gems and a whole swirl of moods, and it also features a nice handful of collaborators including Elizabeth Fraser of Cocteau Twins, Stuart A. Staples of the Tindersticks, and the legendary Jane Birkin.

    Given that Tiersen’s work apparently is often compared with that of Philip Glass and Michael Nyman, it’s safe to say that his work is right up my alley. I plan on checking it all out, tout de suite, starting with his most recent work up on Bandcamp. In fact, as I am writing, I randomly clicked on the cover I liked best in his BandcampPortrait (2019) – and the very first song features not only Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))), but also harpischord. I’m in love.

    *The survey choices that led to this spotlight were “D”, “A”, and “Y”, following the earlier surveys with “B”, “L”, “U”, “E” and “M”, “O”, “N”. The third letter was the winning selection, so the survey result was translated as picking the third album in The List by an artist whose name starts with the letter “Y”.
