Free for a limited time: Lyre Lyre Pants on... virtual instrument:



Lyre Lyre Pants On... - The Crow Hill Company

Quote

[Lyre ...] with a touch of Japanese Koto bendyness.

[...] A good quality instrument will always reward you when playing, performing and recording music. However, this doesn't always apply when sampling. The magic zone for life-like beguiling sounds is often to be found in the quieter dynamics. Which, in the case of an instrument like this, it not having very good resonating qualities and a brittle-nature to it's reaction to being plucked into a vibrating state from an inert one had the label "this will sound great sampled". Recorded at Castesound studios, Edinburgh the Vaults Lyre features round robins, dynamic layers going from super brushed fingertips to aggressively plucked Koto-like tones.

[...] Legend has it that the Greek god Hermes created the lyre from a tortoise shell, gut, and reeds to help him steal 50 prize cattle from Apollo's sacred herd. The earliest found examples date from c. 2700 BC.

[...] In many ways the instrument provided the earliest form of underscore.


And Rocketverb reverb free through tomorrow (combining these two would be fun):

The album title refers to an Obon tradition in which families welcome back the spirits of the dead before guiding them back to the afterlife, either by lighting a lantern or, in some cases, a white birch. 'White birch burns' is Oyubi's way of imagining a day with his late father. Instead of his usual bank of samples, Oyubi drew from his dad's old collection of jazz and Japanese fusion CDs and blended them with his amorphous technoid soundscapes.

Though rooted in loss, 'White birch burns' doesn't dwell in grief. [...] "The record's not only sad," Oyubi explains [...] "I believe I can meet my dad every summer, so there's excitement [in the album] to meet him again." In this way 'White birch burns' [...] sees [... him] reach across the veil between the living and the dead and reconnect with family through his boundless approach to genre.

The Guardian article on Geese today had me give Getting Killed another listen... I still think the studio album sounds bad and boring, his voice sounds terrible on it, and the lyrics aren't all that great (even as satire). But the live performance the article links to is actually pretty good. Much better vocal sound (less burning goose, more Jim Morrison crossed with Bob Dylan---though it gets a bit irritating on Husbands when he switches from the Electro-Voice RE20 microphone (also used by Thom Yorke and Kurt Cobain among others) to the (bog) standard issue cheapo SM58 which is too bright on his voice), much better (and more lively) instrumental sound, generally better mix (more dynamic range helps---studio album dynamics suffer from being too squashed), and better performance too:



It felt as if the world had tired of rock music, yet Geese are the perfect soundtrack for this age of disquiet | John Harris | The Guardian

Still a bit overhyped (especially in terms of lyrics and originality), but that recording at least doesn't suck (for the most part).

From the album Гільдеґарда (Ukrainian for the acclaimed medieval composer (and author) Hildegard---the Russian version of her name is Хильдегарда), an album by two Ukrainian musicians reimagining her songs:



They translate the opening line, "O ignis Spiritus paracliti", as "O Fire of the Spirit and Defender". Here's the Latin with a matching translation:

"Chamber-head" can refer to the roof of a combustion chamber for an internal combustion engine, though it's usually called a "cylinder head".
