Our next track of the month is GOLDFINCH CHARM, the last track on our Witchcraft Jazz album: https://open.spotify.com/track/3HRlXXoYJ0qIqxoAa65WOU One day a charm of goldfinches landed in Dmitry Ermakov 's backyard. They were fluttering around singing to each other across the flowers and so this inspired Dmitry to switch on his then new model of NI Komplete Kontrol keyboard and record the sketch for this piece in #Cubase. He quickly recorded all the parts except drums and then called in Koos van der Velde. who came for a session in Low Bisholpey Studio to add drums. It all took just a couple of days or so tp record and mix the track and send it off to Christopher Longwood of SugarHill Recording Studios for mastering. Chris did an awesome job. We were blown when we heard the master here at Low Bishopley. The track now possessed a kind of a calm but energetic joy and wholesome finality - clearly, the Witchcraft Jazz album was now complete. Here it is, #checkitout . Dmitry Ermakov – composition, arrangement, keyboards, key-bass, synth & percussion programming, recording, producing, mixing. Koos van der Velde – drums, recording, mixing. Christopher Longwood – mastering. http://metaquorum.bandcamp.com/track/goldfinch-charm #jazzfusion #jazzrock #prog #artrock #muiscalimprovisation #electronic #ambient #instrumental #experimentalmusic #newmusicalert #построк #postrock #fusion #rock #meld

http://metaquorum.bandcamp.com/track/limping-mathematician Our next #trackofthemonth is Limping Mathematician. Dmitry Ermakov wrote this tune in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, in 1988 for "Pereplanirovka", first album of the band ПАNIKA where he played together with Victor Mikheyev and R.I.P. Alexei Dovshan. That version was recorded in Victor flats on reel-to-reel double deca constructed by Victor from two Soviet recorders. We had no drums so used actual tape loops. Instruments we had in our disposal were also... hm... Soviet or home-made so the sound was quite heavy, the steel saxophone I played on the recording was certainly meant for #heavymetal ))) Anyhow, we did what we did our best according to the circumstances. Victor even played #sitar in the middle section of that version of the track. Then many years later I dug up the original score (well... it isn't a score as you can see on the pic below - just a line with harmonies) and thought we can rearrange and rerecord this tune for our second album, Witchcraft Jazz, cos Carol liked it a lot! So we did. I've just finished the track's cover today. So here it is - #checkitout ;) #jazz #funkjazz #jazzcore #jazzmetal #jazzrock #elctrojazz #prog #artrock #electrionicmusic #avantprog #funk #bossanova #soulmusic #instrumental #soulinstrumental #music #nemusicalert #instamusic #джаз #рок #прог #crazystuff #avantegarde #drumnbass
