Follow the stories of vagabond queens, pauper poets and lovers lost to the sea, all set to spellbinding arrangements of old Sephardi songs worthy of symphonic film scores. Wrap these tales up with lush soulful harmonies evoking Flamenco’s gutsiness and the longings of Fado, all combined with heart-pounding percussion, masterful narration and intricate soundscapes. Journey through the Balkans to the Mid-East beginning in Sarajevo and winding through Salónica and Jerusalem. Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom is a sonic adventure brought to life by the Guy Mendilow Ensemble, an award-winning quintet of world-class musicians from Israel, Palestine, Argentina, Japan and the USA. The intertwining music and storytelling whisks audiences into multicultural metropolises like Sarajevo and picturesque island towns like Rhodes, conjuring an imagi-nation lost to war and upheaval, recorded in a language that blends archaic Spanish with Arabic, Hebrew and Greek. This ensemble of internationally savvy world musicians delivers a richly textured global experience of haunting beauty. “… An international tour de force.” — Bethlehem Morning Call “...culturally significant" — Bruce Halliday, Port Theatre Society, Nanaimo, BC, Canada “a resurgent force … explodes with artistry, refinement, and excitement" — Yvon Shore, Hebrew Union College, Cincinnati OH “The Guy Mendilow Ensemble was magical! They performed superbly and let us dream throughout the Mediterranean world." — Peter Steinfeld, ACES Series, Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, IA “...music of hope and affirmation, sophisticated in its delivery but easily accessible to listeners anywhere. ” — Chicago Tribune Booking/Management: Guy Mendilow : Tel. +1.857-222-0235 | Fax 617-524-1463 | [email protected] www.guymendilow.com 1 | Return to Index FROM THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM PERFORMED BY THE GUY MENDILOW ENSEMBLE PRESENTERS’ TESTIMONY: AUDIENCE IMPACT “The Guy Mendilow Ensemble was magical! They performed superbly and let us dream throughout the Mediterranean world.” — Peter Steinfeld, ACES Series, Buena Vista University, Storm Lake, IA “...A contemporary exploration of the rich heritage of Balkan and Mediterranean communities. The audience was obviously engaged and moved by this culturally significant performance as Guy created a very unique vibe with his casual yet sophisticated stage presence. Heart, soul, and history, all in one show! He is an incredible talent and we would love to bring him back to our theatre.” — Bruce Halliday, Port Theatre Society, Nanaimo, BC, Canada “... captivates the audience... The ensemble brings a vitality to the music that I hadn’t experienced with other Sephardic artists.” — Jordan Peimer, Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles, CA “... a great evening of beautiful music and exceptional musicianship!” — John Chicherio, Huntington Summer Arts Festival, Huntington, NY “... transports the listener to a place far removed from the concert hall or outreach service site.” — Steven Schmidt, Riverside Concerts, Rochester, MN “…The ensemble takes you on a tour through an almost lost world that is filled with stories, beautiful melodies, and traditions. Guy and his ensemble have a way of capturing this tradition while making it ac- cessible and engaging for a contemporary audience...the music has a broad appeal that reaches in a way that’s entertaining and enlightening. Simply said, you come to enjoy a concert, but the cultural experience and learning is much deeper. From his showmanship to his skill as a convener, teacher, and cultural explorer, Guy Mendilow is reviving an important culture though his music, one that I believe has much value throughout the world.” — Laura Mandel, New Center NOW, Boston, MA “The group is truly a topflight ‘world music’ group …the Guy Mendilow Ensemble enthralled, educated and engaged the audiences with its artistic excellence.” — Dr. Lynn L. Siebert, Arts Council of the Morris Area “...a truly moving evening of music and story. In addition, we were thrilled to have the group conduct a choral vocal workshop...the students had the opportunity to learn about a unique musical tradition while enjoying the chance to sing with and be coached by experienced professional singers, musicians and educators. I would not hesitate to recommend Guy Mendilow Ensemble for its high level of artistry, tuneful and accessible music, and great work with kids.” — David Mann, Evergreen Cultural Centre, Coquitlam, BC, Canada “Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom tenders an incredible gift; a resurgent force of musical settings that explode with artistry, refinement, and excitement.” — Yvon F.

During the 1960s, Kaleidoscope featuring David Lindley stretched the boundaries of world music within a rock band about as far as they could be stretched, walking away with a reputation as heroes for sonic adventurers. The Guy Mendilow Ensemble may not be quite as rambunctious, but they are no less daring. ” — The Boomer’s Guide to Music & News “One of Boston’s most original world-music acts.” — Boston Herald “This isn’t for quirky ears, it’s for jaded ears that need to be shaken awake with something substantially different that keeps the interest on the beam throughout. Delightfully different, even when it seems like it might be familiar. ” —Midwest Record “This is, to folk, what Bela Fleck is to Foggy Mountain Breakdown. This is unusual and exciting.” — Philadelphia Folk Song Society “The glory of what [Mendilow] does is finding a common ground a ong different cultures. And that’s what makes his music so exciting.” —Jewish Advocate “Auditory magic” — Wildy’s World “A magical, shape-shifting world music quintet hailing from four countries…Often reminiscent of David Lindley’s all encompassing,stripped-gear approach to pan-genre explorations.” — Iowa City Press-Citizen “…Vibrant musical storytelling awash with warm harmonies, captivating rhythms and rollicking, fast-paced vocal improvisations.” — Cambridge Chronicle Booking/Management: Guy Mendilow : Tel. +1.857-222-0235 | Fax 617-524-1463 | [email protected] www.guymendilow.com 3 | Return to Index FROM THE FORGOTTEN KINGDOM PERFORMED BY THE GUY MENDILOW ENSEMBLE AUDIO Esta Montaña D’Enfrente Una Noche O Mis Hermanos (O My Brothers) (The Mountain Ahead Burns) (One Night) (Story & Song ) A fiery show opene A story of loss and betrayed love Homage to the Mediterranean communities destroyed in WWII VIDEO Tales from the Forgotten Kingdom Overview: Mancevo Del Dor (A Modern Man) A Micro-Documentary Upbeat song from Alexandria featuring A brief introduction to the project some unusual instruments Hermanas Reina Y Cautiva Outreach Videos (Sisters, Queen and Captive) (Workshops, string / choral A queen finds sisterhood with a captiv collaborations and more ) slave.

  • Song/Casting: Combining Podcasts and Songs to Create a Hybrid Medium
    Nate Sahr 1 Song/Casting: Combining Podcasts and Songs to Create a Hybrid Medium A Thesis Presented to the Honors Tutorial College, Ohio University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Graduation from the Honors Tutorial College with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Media Arts & Studies By Nate Sahr May 2021 Nate Sahr 2 Table of Contents Abstract 3 Introduction – What is a Songcast? 4 The Hypothetical Songcast: Preliminary Research & Codification 9 Storytelling in Podcasts 10 Storytelling in Songs 12 Parasocial Relationships 14 Music 16 The Actual Songcast: Creative Process 17 Evaluating my Songcast 30 Conclusion 32 Bibliography 34 Nate Sahr 3 Abstract In my creative project and associated paper, I explore a hybrid medium, songcasting, that combines the most compelling elements of podcasts with the most compelling elements of songs. For the creation of this specific songcast, I interviewed 7 talented storytellers to capture audio recordings of them telling stories. From these, I chose a story about a Minnesotan teenager and his sister exploring Australia in 1979, and I built my songcast around it. This story explores coming of age, what it means to live in the modern world, cross-cultural relations, and more. The music and narration are carefully arranged and fused together to provide an immersive listening experience. While this songcast highlights the medium’s strengths, it is only one example of the many possibilities of songcasting. By synthesizing music, an emphasis on parasocial relationships, and the storytelling modes of both songs and podcasts, songcasts stand apart as unique audio format. Nate Sahr 4 Introduction – What is a Songcast? Imagine a spectrum: on one side of the spectrum is the color blue, on the other side is the color yellow.

  • Moock PR General
    NEW MUSIC NEWS – June 9, 2017 ALASTAIR MOOCK ALASTAIR MOOCK First Singer-Songwriter Album in Ten Years from Grammy-Nominated Artist ``` Self-titled Boston-based singer-songwriter Alastair Moock album out releases a new self-titled album, ALASTAIR MOOCK, JUNE 9 on June 9. He’ll be touring behind the album in June with dates in Boston, New York, Washington DC, and a special pre-album release show at historic Club Passim in Cambridge on June 3. Produced by Mark Erelli Moock made a name for himself on the folk and Americana circuit starting in 1995, touring throughout the U.S. and Europe and playing major venues including the Newport Folk Festival and Norway’s Bergen Music Fest. He won songwriter contests at the Falcon Ridge, Sisters, and Great Waters folk festivals and was nominated for a 2007 Boston Music Award for Outstanding Singer-Songwriter of the Year. Still, critical success did not translate into commercial success. When his twin daughters were born in 2006, Moock concluded it was time to move on. As his swan song, he decided to make one more album: a tribute both to his own newborn daughters and to a generation of musical heroes – Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, Mississippi John Hurt – who wrote and played, proudly and undiscriminatingly, for both adults and kids. The album, A Cow Says Moock, became Moock’s most successful project to date. It led to three more family albums which together garnered most of the top awards in American children’s music, including a 2013 GRAMMY Nomination for the album he made with his daughter, Clio, after she was diagnosed with leukemia (she’s now healthy and doing great).
