Bryce Dessner) Som en del af Copenhagen Phils koncertserie, hvor "rytmisk" og "klassisk" har » The National fundet nye møder, var vi begunstiget af at kunne være i selskab med de to NYHEDER tvillingebrødre Aaron og Bryce Dessner fredag aften i Konservatoriets Koncertsal. Guide: 10 koncerter til din weekend Dessner-brødrene er primært kendt fra deres bedrifter i den driftige alternative The National-tvillinger kommer til Danmark rockgruppe The National, men har altså også flirtet med orkestermusik, hvor de The National lufter nyt med hver deres tilgang har komponeret til vidt forskellige sammenhænge. Bryce materiale Dessner er uddannet i klassisk guitar ved Yale, mens broder Aaron er selvlært guitarist. De er dog begge meget inspireret af moderne komponister som Steve ARTIKLER Reich, Philip Glass og lignende, og derfor var det også i den boldgade, vi befandt Pladeselskabet 4AD fylder 30 os denne aften, hvor Dessner-brødrene selv skulle agere solister under ét NYE ANMELDELSER The National – Tilfredse nummer, mens de havde skrevet og udvalgt det programlagte materiale. Såkaldt melankolikere indie-classical er det blevet brandet som – det vender vi tilbage til. Tulisa ANMELDELSER The Female Boss The National: Bøgescenerne, Dessner-lækkerier [ 1 ] Danmarks Smukkeste Som en slags opvarmning blev Bryce Dessner-kompositionen "Lachrimae" opført Festival med et meget velspillende udpluk af Sjællands Symfoniorkester. Opførslen led en The National og Sharon Van Etten: Scandinavian smule under, at folk endnu ikke havde indfundet sig på deres pladser endnu, men http://gaffa.dk/anmeldelse/67507 Side 1 af 3 The Dessners : Konservatoriets Koncertsal, København - Anmeldelse - GAFFA.dk 17/12/12 20.12 Congress Center, Århus ikke desto mindre var stykket utrolig sitrende opbygget omkring cello-gruppen, der Simon Krebs The National: KB Hallen, med flotte overtoner fik assistance af forsigtige pizzicato-anslag. Som nummeret Please Don't Feed The Fears København forsigtigt blev slået an, bredte varmen sig i tonerne, der hos kontrabassen Se alt vores indhold om vekslede mellem et decideret orgelpunkt og dissonerende spændinger. The National "Lachrimae" udviklede sig yderligere med en bølgende dramatik, hvor ansatserne blev fordelt over hver enkelt enhed i det store orkester, der byggede mere og mere Tim Christensen op til et stort dramatisk klimaks, hvorefter et kort afdæmpet coda afrundede det Volume 1: Acoustic Covers hele tilbage som én enhed. En utrolig dragende og smuk komposition. [ 22 ] Forbilleder Efter en kort pause og en introduktion ved musikchef Uffe Savery fik dirigent Søren Møller André de Ridder og Bryce Dessner en kort snak om deres valg af musik for resten Resume af aftenen. Den handlede især om Dessners store forkærlighed for den store amerikanske komponist Steve Reich, hvor han selv og Radioheads Jonny Greenwood deler den store begejstring for amerikaneren. Derfor først et stykke af Reich, og derefter Jonny Greenwoods "Popcorn Superhet Reciever", før Dessner selv atter kom på banen. Leona Lewis Glassheart Reich-stykket "Variations for Winds, Strings and Keyboards" levede i den grad op til sin titel. El-klaveret satte an med en meget levende figur af en masse toner, der med arpeggios og akkordanslag meget hurtigt tegnede en figur, der blev underbygget af nogle meget tilbageholdne strygere. Generelt var klavererne og blæserne en slags hovedperson i det første lange stykke af kompositionen, da den » Se flere GAFFA anmeldelser meget hurtige og myriaderige figur konstant blev afspejlet af de to omtalte grupper med den ene eller den anden variation at spore. Annonce Din annonce her? Interessant nok skiftede dette fokus undervejs, også selvom myriade-figurerne repetitivt nok stadig var til stede. Violinernes mere tilbageholdne rolle blev mere klar og struktureret, og især de større strygeres nedadgående bastoner gav nummeret en meget mere dyster karakter. En udfordrende komposition, der dog stadig gav stof til eftertanke. Western-dystopi "Popcorn Superhet Reciever" blev åbnet op med store bløde buer af dirigent André de Ridder, og den var med sin gysende karakter i starten særlig bekymrende. Førstecelloerne var i hovedrollen som "fortæller", hvor man sagtens forstår, at musikken herfra også har været benyttet i den dystre Paul Thomas Anderson-film "There Will Be Blood". Violinernes meget ubekvemme glissandi i en stor asynkron bevægelse fremkaldte i hvert fald straks billeder af en svajende majsmark, hvor noget bestemt ikke er, som det bør. Det blev intensiveret til et nærmest mekanisk crescendo af de Ridder, hvorefter karakterskiftet for alvor indtrådte. Violinerne blev lagt an, som en guitarist ville gøre det, og så blev der spillet "guitar" på violinerne. Simple "stumme" anslag til at give effekten og pizzicato-fingerspil til at give tonerne. Samtidig var kontrabasserne forvandlet til deciderede rytmegruppe ved at slå på kroppen af instrumentet. Hele herligheden blev afrundet med en bred pensel, der atter zoomede ud til fugleperspektiv over landskabet. Dessner-duet De Ridder lavede herefter et kort interview med Aaron Dessner på scenen, omkring ham og hans brors baggrund for at lave denne type musik. Herefter blev "St. Carolyn By the Sea" sat an med Dessner-brødrene helt i front ved guitarforstærkerne. Guitarernes varme elektronisk forstærkede klang fandt et fint fodslag med cello- gruppen, der sammen skabte en meget enkel opbygning af nummeret, mens klokkespil fra janitsharen skabte nogle fine små "dryp" undervejs. De to guitarer kom hurtigt til at virke som en meget naturlig del af orkesteret, der undervejs meget hurtigt steg i dramatik. Under et meget asynkront og nærmest western-lignende tema blev der flettet en "solo" ind, hvor især Bryce Dessners rolle var i centrum med fine glødende figurer. Og lidt som stilhed før storm, så spillede violinerne en meget stille pizzicatofigur, der blev suppleret af Dessner-brødrenes meget indfølte flageoletter på guitaren. Efter nogle helt formidable bend-glid på guitaren kulminerede nummeret smukt ved en gradvis terrassedynamik, hvor pauker og klokkespil, blæsegruppe og guitarerne med kontrasterende figurer byggede op til et større inferno, der blev lukket med et brag. Indie-classical? Det var en meget veludført aften af orkesteret på scenen, dirigenten og også Dessner-brødrene. Der var en meget fin rød tråd over arrangementet i forhold til det indholdsmæssige, og det var helt centralt, at der også var mulighed for at høre de involverede parters tanker bag. Man kan altid diskutere om en genre, der er blevet brandet som "indie-klassisk", er det helt rigtige mærkat at sætte på denne type musik. Det er en anden sag og en http://gaffa.dk/anmeldelse/67507 Side 2 af 3 The Dessners : Konservatoriets Koncertsal, København - Anmeldelse - GAFFA.dk 17/12/12 20.12 anden diskussion, og jeg synes i virkeligheden, at Bryce Dessner selv sagde det helt rigtige undervejs i koncerten: "It's really just music in the end". Men fremragende repertoire, der spændende var sat sammen med kompositioner, der forhåbentlig får meget større udbredelse. "Lachrimae" var jokeren, der virkelig overraskede, mens Greenwood-kompositionen og Dessners "St. Carolyn!" var strålende.

    October 3, 2017 For Immediate Release Sharon Van Etten Announces (it was) because i was in love, Deluxe Reissue of Debut Album, because i was in love, Out November 17 Listen to “I Wish I Knew” – https://soundcloud.com/sharonvanetten/sharon-van-etten-i-wish-i-knew/s- egwWr (photo credit - Ryan Pfluger / AUGUST) “It was an innocent and beautiful record, which some of my newer fans may not even know about. This seemed like the perfect time to remix and remaster it, and give it a new life.” – Sharon Van Etten Sharon Van Etten will release (it was) because i was in love, a deluxe reissue of her debut album, because i was in love, on November 17 as a Vinyl Me Please exclusive (pre-order available Nov. 9) and via Sharon’s online shop. It will be available digitally everywhere. Recorded by Greg Weeks who co- produced alongside Van Etten and initially released the album on his Language of Stone label, the reissue has been remixed by Craig Silvey, remastered by Joe Lambert and includes deluxe vinyl packaging with new artwork and liner notes, as well as two bonus tracks. For nearly a decade, Van Etten has been treasured as an artist whose songs flow with a rare and honest vulnerability and courage. Three full-length albums since the release of because i was in love, Van Etten still imbues her songs with the naked emotion that other singer-songwriters might iron out of their recordings. She wants us to hear the humanity of her work, the imperfections that make it palpable, the longing and heartache we’ve all nursed at some point.

    24 January 2019 BROOKLYN ROCKER SHARON VAN ETTEN TO PERFORM NEW ALBUM AT QPAC, HAILED HER BEST YET Brooklyn singer-songwriter and composer Sharon Van Etten is making her way to Brisbane for a one night only performance in the Concert Hall at the Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC) on Friday 7 June 2019. QPAC is on Van Etten’s national Remind Me Tomorrow tour, presented by Mistletone, in support of the highly anticipated new album of the same name – released on Friday 18 January on Jagjaguwar via Inertia Music to rapturous acclaim worldwide. The new album is currently Feature Album at Double J, Triple R and 2SER, and has received glowing reviews in STACK Magazine, The Big Issue, The Sydney Morning Herald, as well as Stereogum (Album Of The Week), The Guardian, The Music who said “Remind Me Tomorrow testifies Van Etten’s evolution as a musician as she contemplates life and love and the accompanying kaleidoscope of emotions”, and Pitchfork (Best New Music) who said “[Remind Me Tomorrow] is the peak of Van Etten’s songwriting, her most atmospheric and emotionally piercing album to date”. The new album is a milestone as well as a turning point for Sharon and performed with her five-piece band, promises to be an electrifying experience in a live setting. Written while pregnant with her first child and studying psychology, Remind Me Tomorrow was written in stolen time, wedged between a myriad of endeavours including her first screen appearance in The OA (a supernatural Netflix series produced by Brit Marlin and Zal Batmanglij) and bringing her music onstage in David Lynch’s revival of Twin Peaks.
