"Lucy Kalantari really does explore a world of sounds across All the Sounds – sounds of seasons, sounds of your family and neighborhood, sounds of another language, dancing sounds, musical sounds, and the sounds inside ourselves, not to mention all the brassy, booming, tinkling, plucking sounds of classic jazz. The focus may be mainly on only one of our five senses, but it’s quite the big, brave, and joyful world that emerges by exploring all the sounds."
The Grammy Awards took place a few weeks ago. Now, I’m sure Kasey Musgrove and Childish Gambino are fine (kidding, I know they’re great), but here in Artsplorers world, there’s clearly only one category we really had our eyes on...
Great review, Kristen!!
If the title Shamania puts you in mind of a quirky musical revue—sort of a tribal music twist on Beatlemania—then you and Danish percussionist Marilyn Mazur are pretty much on the same wavelength here. The music this 10-piece Scandinavian ensemble makes is built around the concept of urkraft, a ...

Dubstep Big Band Tetris Theme!
🚨FULL VID NOW ON YOUTUBE! 🚨
Link in Bio!
Hit the link in our bio to check out this Dub Step + Tchaikovsky + Folk Song + Chopin + Klezmer infused big band arrangement of the Tetris “Theme A”!! (Also known traditionally as "Korobeiniki"). This is one of my favorite arrangements to date. Not only did I include both Tuba and Accordion in this arrangement, I also inserted all sorts of arranging and composing easter eggs for the really attentive listeners out there including:
• Tchaikovsky’s 5th Symphony
• The Chopin Revolutionary Etude
• Russian Folk songs “Song of the Volga Boatmen” and “Kalinka”
• A Jewish Hora “Mayim Mayim”
and more!! See if you can hear them all! Thanks for listening and subscribing!!

Nice! WTG, Greg and Pat!
The combination of flute and marimba makes for magical, winning results on this duo outing by New York-based Patricia and Greg Zuber. Of course one reason for the recording's appeal is that the instruments are fundamentally different in pitch and timbre, and consequently there's maximum separation b...

Alan Silverman of Aerial Sound, New York City, shares his thoughts on the Sonoma Headphone System;
"...I started out with the M1’s at home. The sound was intriguing, compelling, and a departure from anything I’d ever heard, reinforcing my first impressions at your demo suite (at AES NY 2018). At the studio, the effect on the other farm animals was immediate. After the first week, a trusted pair of high-end phones were pulled from service..."

Just found out we won Bluegrass/Country song of the Year with The Oak Ridge Boys at the DOVE AWARDS!
With pleasure and pride, I'm sharing the first video from the new album by Arc Iris, doing their part to send positive energy in their uniquely musical and creative way. We've had a long association. I feel privileged to have had a part in their work
Today, we premiere Arc Iris' video for "If You Can See" from the forthcoming album. Lovingly made while walking around downtown Providence, R.I., the song is ebullient and optimistic, an "up with people" anthem we all could use in these divisive times, regardless of the side you're on.
Excited about the release of this ground breaker from MMW & AWS - mixed and mastered at Aerial Sound (formerly Arf! Mastering)
“Anonymous Skulls”, from our new album with Medeski Martin & Wood. “Omnisphere” (coming Sept 14) is out now on Spotify and other streaming services. We recorded it live in Denver, and in this clip you get a peek at the live concert!

Out now: new track "Yves Klein Blue" by Stevie Wolf
It got a stellar review from Billboard, who called it "the perfect entry into Wolf's deeply insightful music that, despite the raw emotion running through it, somehow leaves you feeling more charged up than before you started listening." (link in comments)

"The sheer amount of virtuosity on display on Familia: Tribute to Bebo & Chico might well be overwhelming if the music itself weren't so warmly and beautifully rendered." Matt Collar, Allmusic.com
What a thrill to see this sweeping double-CD set released, paying homage to the brilliance of two past giants of Afro-Cuban jazz, as well as showcasing the brilliance of a new generation of musicians taking this tradition to new heights. I hope this project will be recognized a milestone. Congrats to Arturo O'Farrill, Chucho Valdes, The Afro Latin Jazz Alliance, Motema Music and mixer Rafa Sardina. We at Arf Mastering are honored to have played a small part on this team.
Download/Listen: https://arturoofarrill.lnk.to/familiaFA
It is such an exciting day - 'Familia', the recording I made with my brother Chucho Valdés Oficial is now out on Motema Music! It's a beautiful tribute not just to Bebo and Chico, but to the generations of music that will come after us to participate in this great music.
It’s important to me that Familia is not just a nostalgia project. It cannot be. Bebo and Chico were both forward-looking creators so, for us, it was important not just to recreate the music they left us, but to capture the zeal and vision they had for progress. They were innovators. They wrote music that was radical for their times.
Please pick up this recording, so that Chucho and I can retire to our villas in Tuscany! - Arturo
