2 Loads of Good News ;)

  • October 15, 2016

Hi folks

Lots of good news, where shall we start?

Well, Koos and Dmitry have managed to snatch time in their busy schedules to finish mixing two tracks for the new album: Socket Swing, and Swagger.  We’ve just got the masters back from Chris Longwood of SugarHill Recording Studios – he’s worked his magic – great results!

So that means we’re one step nearer to our NEW ALBUM – WITCHCRAFT JAZZ. It’s going to be another great album, and we’re especially pleased that Victor Mikheyev is joining us again on bass, for three tracks.

Victor and Dmitry working on tracks in Bulgaria, Byala, 2013.

And last but not least, to give you a taster of the album, new single CHICKEN & EGG will be released on October 27.

This video footage is from the first Low Bishopley Sessions, February 2015, when Dmitry and Koos were selecting tracks for recording and production. Here, Dmitry improvises around the main theme from Chicken & Egg and discusses how it could be developed. Actually, it took quite a different turn in the end…

Above is some early archive VIDEO material for CHICKEN & EGG, new single from MetaQuorum’s forthcoming album WITCHCRAFT JAZZ.

Cover art by Dmitry’s old and dear friend Petrovich, known in the West as Alexander Voitsekhovsky.

You can join us for an on-line event @ https://www.facebook.com/events/336231016728740/

1 MIDNIGHT SUN (Remastered) is Live

  • June 21, 2016
  • by MetaQuorum
  • · Posts

Midnight Sun (Remastered) was released on 18 June through all our usual digital distribution channels. And we are waiting for a bunch of limited edition CDs to arrive later next week. Why the need for Remaster? , you may ask. Well, the original master wasn’t really loud enough and it didn’t have this ‘big sound’ we developed for the 2016 releases. So Dmitry decided to remaster the album so that it comes closer to this new sound. We think it was a success. The tracks sound bigger and more 3D with many nuances coming to the fore. Give it a listen and see for yourself 🙂

Cheers,

0 JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SINGLE IS OUT!

  • May 18, 2016
  • by MetaQuorum
  • · Posts

Hello everyone!

The first in our series of new singles was released a couple of days ago! Jonathan Livingston is already enjoying airplay and reviews, and we have 3 interviews lined up for next week.

As you might guess from the name, this track was inspired by Richard Bach’s book Jonathan Livingston Seagull which influenced so many during 70-80s and beyond.

“You have the freedom to be yourself, your true self, here and now, and nothing can stand in your way.”
― Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull

The release is live on scores of download and streaming services so you’ll be able to tune-in wherever you are.

For STREAMING please follow us on Spotify @ https://goo.gl/i5n4rW, if you can – it costs you nothing and we get some pennies dropping each time it’s played.

For DOWNLOAD please go to our own shop @https://metaquorum.greedbag.com/

Or for the full list of services see bottom of the post 😉

“MetaQuorum are being very bold in May, with two singles released; fans of their funk laden electronica are in for a real treat as new track Jonathan Livingston is released on Sunday 15th May with Migration following on Saturday 28th May.

Jonathan Livingston is filled with punchy grooves, and is powerfully atmospheric. Mellow yet melodic, it makes full use of funk-filled slap bass lines and smooth electronic effects. All set against a soundscape of seagulls, it’s a dense, moody instrumental that harbours an emotive expressive representation of our longing for freedom. Migration is a similarly progressive track, an epic sound echoing the expanse of the solar system, it’s all filled with dance-trance rhythms.”

By Simon Beckwith on Thursday, May 5th, 2016.

NEXT RELEASE

We’ll be bringing out our first song – Migration – in just 10 days. We’re all very excited about it, looking forward to sharing it with you all!

Cheers,

Dmitry, Koos and Carol
