A-Kube: Un-Kid-i-Fide Music For Grown Folks
All About Jazz PA -
I was one scared ass that night. To this very day I don’t do trains. AAJ: How did an interest in woodworking and furniture building lead to your first discovery of electronic music? Woodworking and furniture building was something you did in the evenings while you worked on the railroad during the day. AK: ne day in Dallas Texas around about the year 1992 while looking for a place of business that sold woodworking equipment I stumbled across another place of business in the location of the shop I was looking for. The place of business turned out to be a company that sold pianos that were hooked up to the computer. Being fascinated by the personal computer since its introduction to the public in the early 80s and already being recognized for years among family and friends as being a pretty good singer I was immediately drawn in to this new way to me of making music. And ever since that day I have been creating my music.

Music Review: Lily Allen “It’s Not Me It’s You”
Advance Titan WI -
Yes these events are at least based partly upon the truth and if this were a year ago and her only accomplishment thus far was her critically acclaimed debut ?Alright Still? I?d still label her as a Winehouse-in-training. But while she isn?t the quintessential English madam by any means she has grown up somewhat. Contrary to the past couple years in 2009 Allen?s music is doing more of the talking than her sometimes questionable behavior. Upon the release of her latest effort ?It?s Not Me It?s You? Allen gains perspective through reflection. It is apparent that while the free spirit no rules piss-standing-up attitude is still heavily ingrained in the psyche of this high school dropout it isn?t all she brings to the table. n ?It?s Not Me It?s You? Allen divulges her life that has been visited by drugs lies sorrow resentment and alas sheer and utter happiness.

We would hang out in the evenings at the club at the Eighteenth Street Lounge and have drinks and start making tracks. ” In Garza’s case however it seems as though Thievery’s success may have been written a long time ago when he got a leg up on a generation of electro music makers because of a unique opportunity. “When I was 15 years old my family moved to Connecticut and this one school they had this electronic music class.

Music review: Glass’ ‘Music in Twelve Parts’
San Francisco Chronicle USA -
Space out for a minute or two – and I confess to having done so not infrequently during the performance – and you come back to find that the musical topic has changed subtly but noticeably. Some musical parameters are simply left out of the equation. Instrumental color is one – the ensemble of electronic keyboards and amplified woodwinds and voice presents a nearly monochromatic surface throughout – and dynamic level is another. But the topics that Glass does address here are endlessly productive and nuanced. And to hear a composer lay out his palette in such richly evocative detail is a rare and rewarding delight.
