Capelli corti, viso rosso dal sole marino; a 55 anni Mike Oldfield possiede un’immensa fortuna, ma difficilmente lo farebbero entrare in un club per milionari. Il musicista di Reading (Inghilterra) si è sempre sentito uno straniero in un mondo ostile: infanzia difficile, l'alcolismo e il suicidio della madre, i primi successi, la solitudine, la depressione, la droga, l'alcool, le crisi dei 40 anni a Ibiza… essere Oldfield non deve essere stato facile. Questa settimana pubblica “Music of the Spheres”, il primo disco che ha registrato con un orchestra sinfonica, il suo disco numero 24. Nel salotto del suo rifugio a Maiorca, la signora Oldfield cerca di far addormentare Eugene, il suo neonato. Invece di toglierci le scarpe per non fare rumore, abbiamo scoperto che qui è preferibile camminare con i piedi di piombo.

  • Book Proposal 3
    Rock and Roll has Tender Moments too... ! Photographs by Chalkie Davies 1973-1988 ! For as long as I can remember people have suggested that I write a book, citing both my exploits in Rock and Roll from 1973-1988 and my story telling abilities. After all, with my position as staff photographer on the NME and later The Face and Arena, I collected pop stars like others collected stamps, I was not happy until I had photographed everyone who interested me. However, given that the access I had to my friends and clients was often unlimited and 24/7 I did not feel it was fair to them that I should write it all down. I refused all offers. Then in 2010 I was approached by the National Museum of Wales, they wanted to put on a retrospective of my work, this gave me a special opportunity. In 1988 I gave up Rock and Roll, I no longer enjoyed the music and, quite simply, too many of my friends had died, I feared I might be next. So I put all of my negatives into storage at a friends Studio and decided that maybe 25 years later the images you see here might be of some cultural significance, that they might be seen as more than just pictures of Rock Stars, Pop Bands and Punks. That they even might be worthy of a Museum. So when the Museum approached me three years ago with the idea of a large six month Retrospective in 2015 I agreed, and thought of doing the usual thing and making a Catalogue.

Von den durch Soul und Funk beeinflussten Anfängen der Siebziger Jahre mit ihrer Gruppe Cado Belle, über die Weltkarriere als Sängerin und Bühnenattraktion der Mike Oldfield Group bis hin zu einer vielbeachteten Institution als Solokünstlerin ist Maggie Reilly seit fast 40 Jahren ein fester Bestandteil im Showgeschäft. Nachdem Maggie Reilly 1976 ihr erstes Album mit der Formation Cado Belle aufnahm, ein Album, das deutlich von den Soul Einflüssen und des Westcoast beeinflusst war, und gemeinsam mit Größen wie Poco durch die Welt tourte, gelang ihr 1981 als Sängerin der Mike Oldfield Group der weltweite Durchbruch. Ihre Stimme ist es, die Hits wie „Moonlight Shadow“, „FamilyMan“, „To France“ oder „Foreign Affair“ zum persönlichen Soundtrack von Millionen machten. Noch heute zählen diese Lieder zum festen Repertoire der Radiostationen und haben sich ihren festen Platz in der Geschichte der Musik und im Leben der Musikliebhaber erobert. Ende der Achtziger Jahre nahm sich Maggie Reilly Zeit für den Aufbau ihrer Familie. 1992 gelang ihr mit dem ersten Soloalbum „Echoes“ ein beachtliches Comeback. Gleich ihre erste Single „Everytime We Touch“ stürmte an die Spitze der internationalen Charts und bewies, dass die schottische Sängerin auch als Solokünstlerin und eigene Songschreiberin an die Erfolge ihrer Zeit mit Mike Oldfield anknüpfen konnte. www. wild-heart-management.de | [email protected] Seite 2 Biographie Maggie Reilly Es folgten weitere Erfolge mit den Hits „Wait“, „Follow The Midnight Sun“, „Listen ToYour Heart“, „Every Single Heartbeat“ , und „Always You“.

  • Hergest Ridge
    Hergest Ridge 1974 (Early 1974) Mike Oldfield writes and records demos for his second album at his home, The Beacon, Herefordshire, England. “Hergest Ridge (Part One) (1974 Demo)” “Hergest Ridge (Part Two) (1974 Demo)” “Chinese Tune” – Not much is known of this piece apart from its description in the March 16, 1974, issue of Melody Maker. It may have been rewritten into a part of what became Hergest Ridge or was an unused idea. “Hergest Ridge (Part One) (1974 Demo)” 20:19 Written by Mike Oldfield Appears on: Hergest Ridge (2010 Deluxe Edition) It’s pretty much all here, the various movements and structure of what would appear on the album. Of course, being a demo, it’s a bit rough, but it shows Oldfield organizing his new ideas. Some of the parts are played by different instruments than would be on the album. “Hergest Ridge (Part Two) (1974 Demo)” 18:10 Written by Mike Oldfield Appears on: Hergest Ridge (2010 Deluxe Edition) Like the Part One demo, this also shows Mike having assembled the parts of the piece into a cohesive whole, thus giving him a detailed map for the actual album sessions.

  • Chimes and Tubular Bells
    Tubular bell 1 Tubular bell Tubular bells Other names Chimes Classification Percussion instrument Playing range C4-F5 Tubular bells (also known as chimes) are musical instruments in the percussion family. Each bell is a metal tube, 30–38 mm (1¼–1½ inches) in diameter, tuned by altering its length. Its standard range is from C4-F5, though many professional instruments reach G5 (see photo). Tubular bells are often replaced by studio chimes, which are a smaller and usually less expensive instrument. Studio chimes are similar in appearance to tubular bells, but each bell has a smaller diameter than the corresponding bell on tubular bells. Tubular bells are sometimes struck on the top edge of the tube with a rawhide- or plastic-headed hammer. Often, a sustain pedal will be attached to allow extended ringing of the bells. They can also be bowed at the bottom of the tube to produce a very loud, very high-pitched overtone. Tubular bells have been popularized in western culture by the song "Carol of the Bells", and the Mike Oldfield album Tubular Bells and its sequels, the latter best known as the opening theme from The Exorcist. The tubes used provide a purer tone than solid cylindrical chimes, such as those on a mark tree. The animated television series Futurama's theme is played on tubular bells. The "funding for this program provided by ..." rider that followed the end credits of the children's television show Sesame Street also prominently featured tubular bells in the 1980s. Chimes are often used in concert band pieces (e.g.

  • Hergest Ridge, Herefordshire – a Lenten Journey
    Hergest Ridge, Herefordshire – a Lenten journey Mike Oldfield's second album 'Hergest Ridge', released in 1974, features a bird's eye view of the Ridge on the cover; his 1975 album 'Ommadawn' was recorded at his house, The Beacon, which overlooks Hergest Ridge. Hergest Ridge is a place I’ve been aware of most of my life through its musical associations with Mike Oldfield, the composer of Tubular Bells - but until this year (2011) I had never visited it. Oldfield, who shot to fame in 1973 with his album 'Tubular Bells', named his follow-up album after the Ridge; and while living at The Beacon he recorded his third album, Ommadawn. A track on that album ‘On Horseback’ recalls the times when he and his friends rode over the Hergest Hills. Martin on Hergest Ridge, Ash Wednesday, 2011. Hergest Ridge is in Herefordshire, on the border with Radnorshire in Wales. Apart from the nearby town of Kington (where Revd Stephen Buckley of All Saints’ used to have a holiday cottage), the area around is mainly agricultural and the ridge was indeed cultivated during the Second World War to assist in food production. Later returned to its former status as common land, it is treeless, covered with heather and bracken. Around two miles wide and traversed by the Offa’s Dyke footpath that runs 174 miles from North to South Wales along the English- Welsh border, it has always been popular with walkers. The day of my visit was 9th March 2011, Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, and I attended the Morning Holy Communion service with imposition of ashes at All Saints’ Church in Sedgley.

  • The Final Hour Article by the Composer July 2019
    The Final Hour Article by the composer July 2019 The composer Having studied composition with Broadstock and Conyngham at the University of Melbourne, Stuart Greenbaum holds a position at the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music as Professor and Head of Composition. He is the author of over 200 works including 15 sonatas, 7 string quartets, 5 piano trios, 5 concertos, 4 symphonies and 2 operas. Words and music Stuart Greenbaum and Ross Baglin have been working together since 1985 when they met in Doncaster, Melbourne. It was night and raining heavily. Stuart auditioned to join Ross’s band, The Front. They never performed live, but wrote a lot of pop songs. And two operas (Nelson and The Parrot Factory), a dozen choral works and numerous art songs. Their major choral works include The Foundling, commissioned by Cantori New York in 1997 and From the Beginning commissioned for the sesquicentenary of the Royal Melbourne Philharmonic in 2003. Concept Albums I have always been drawn to the idea of concept albums. Four that have been notably influential for me are Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon (1973), Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells (1973), Jean-Michel Jarre’s Oxygene (1976) and Pat Metheny Group’s The Way Up (2005). The overlapping tracks and unifying themes intensify the cumulative experience. For many years I had this idea of making a ‘concept album’. It’s hard to use the term ‘album’ without also thinking ‘vinyl’. But it wasn’t 33 revolutions per–minute that that was playing on my mind. And neither necessarily was the term ‘concept’ – shouldn’t that be a given for any work of art? Rightly or not, the concept album is a relatively specific genre.
