Hi to all on the list
here Vel Net, label specialized in HQ new music.
We though very much about the opportuneness of informing you
about our recent release of Laraaji's cd "My orangeness"
and we concluded...many of you will want
to know what this musician from New York=20
is doing with this new Italian label!
=20
To those that don't know Laraaji we say
the third chapter of the Brian Eno's Ambient tetralogy,
e.i. "Ambient3: Day of radiance", it's his. It was 1980.
This record is very popular among the keens on this genre.
But his music isn't dilated and rarefied as you can expect:
it contains and evokes inner spaces and visions
and plays relaxing or forceful depending on the moments you listen to =
it.
Laraaji's main instrument is the zyther,
a string instrument with a big wooden sound box =20
similar to the ancient cithara and to Indian santoor.
Although Laraaji conceived an electroacoustic treatment for the zyther,
his real speciality is the variety of techniques he applies skimming, =
plucking,=20
caressing and striking the free strings of his instrument.
His music is always spontaneous, alive, sensual and it can't be =
contained
in rigid schemes.
After "Day of radiance" other successful cds of Laraaji solo were =
published,
among them "Flow Goes the Universe" and "Cascade".
We also have to single out his collaborations with Channel Light Vessel, =
Audioactive,
Bill Nelson, Bill Laswell (Divination) and many others.=20
=20
"My orangeness" has something of the previous Laraaji's works but also a =
completely new quality.
It's a visionary journey, deep but also rich of humour, trough =
landscapes of this and other worlds,
which coexist separately, but sometime skim one another and blend.
A spherical work, which actively interacts with our imagery and offers =
changing visions.
Laraaji plays with some interesting musicians of the Vel Net's artistic =
community,
who enhance with other shades his palette of sounds.=20
Listenings and other information about Laraaji's "My Orangeness"=20
are on our web site (take the red ticket), on www.cdbaby.com/laraaji
and other on line stores where you can also order it.
Health and joy to all
Sara
