    craft Horn and Downes briefl y joined legendary prog- rock band Yes, before Trevor quit to pursue his career as a producer. Dollar and ABC won him chart success, with ABC’s The Lexicon Of Love giving the producer his fi rst UK No.1 album. He produced Malcolm McLaren and introduced the hitherto-underground world of scratching and rapping to a wider audience, then went on to produce Yes’ biggest chart success ever with the classic Owner Of A Lonely Heart from the album 90125 — No.1 in the US Hot 100. Horn and his production team of arranger Anne Dudley, engineer Gary Langan and programmer JJ Jeczalik morphed into electronic group Art Of Noise, recording startlingly unusual-sounding songs like Beat Box and Close To The Edit. In 1984 Trevor pulled all these elements together when he produced the epic album Welcome To The Pleasuredome for Liverpudlian bad-boys Frankie Goes To Hollywood. When Trevor met his wife, Jill Sinclair, her brother John ran a studio called Sarm. Horn worked there for several years, the couple later bought the Island Records-owned Basing Street Studios complex and renamed it Sarm West. They started the ZTT imprint, to which many of his artists such as FGTH were signed, and the pair eventually owned the whole gamut of production process: four recording facilities, rehearsal and rental companies, a publisher (Perfect Songs), engineer and producer management and record label. A complete Horn discography would fi ll the pages of Resolution dedicated to this interview, but other artists Trevor has produced include Grace Jones, Propaganda, Pet Shop Boys, Band Aid, Cher, Godley and Creme, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner, Tom Jones, Rod Stewart, David Coverdale, Simple Minds, Spandau Ballet, Eros Ramazzotti, Mike Oldfi eld, Marc Almond, Charlotte Church, t.A.T.u, LeAnn Rimes, Lisa Stansfi eld, Belle & Sebastian and Seal.

  • Futureheads Announced As First Summer Ball Headliner | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner By Harry Gallivan, Managing Director (2013/14) Wednesday 15 May 2013 The Futureheads YUSU have announced post-punk band The Futureheads as the first leading act for the 2013 Summer Ball at York Racecourse. Kallum Taylor, YUSU President, confirmed the act this afternoon. The Sunderland-born band has performed at prestigious venues such as Glastonbury in 2005 and the biggest open-air festival in Europe, Woodstock, with 300,000 people attending in 2009. Their latest 2012 album, Rant, marked a radical departure for the band. Featuring no musical instruments at all, it consisted entirely of a cappella covers, including covers of Black Eye Peas’ ‘Meet me Halfway’ and Kelis’ ‘Acapella’. In a 2011 interview, lead singer Barry Hyde said; “We were partly inspired by [80s a cappella group] The Flying Pickets. They were great singers but their tracks were a bit asexual sounding. We want this to be more rough.” The album was nominated for Artrocker’s ‘Album of the Year’ award in 2012, and was rated 8/10 by NME. In 2005, their cover of Kate Bush’s song, ‘Hounds of Love’, reached number 8 in the charts and was named best single by NME. The band has also accompanied The Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol during their stage sets. More announcements. including the biggest act of the night, will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2013 ball is expected to be an exciting event following on from last year’s headline acts, Feeder and Stooshe.

  • Aspaklaria – Najnowsza Płyta Jarmili Xymeny Górnej Z Londynu
    Aspaklaria – najnowsza płyta Jarmili Xymeny Górnej z Londynu Jarmila Xymena Górna przy pracy. Jarmila Xymena Górna Artystka urodziła się w rodzinie muzyków z Łodzi. Jej matka, śpiewaczka operowa w Teatrze Wielkim w Łodzi, występowała na scenie zaledwie kilka godzin przed narodzinami córki. Choć sama Jarmila nie jestśpiewaczką operową, artystka uważa, że pochodzące jeszcze sprzed narodzin doświadczenie – otoczenie wielowarstwowych harmonii chóralnego śpiewu, wywarło duży wpływ na jej twórczość. Jarmila zaczęła komponować w wieku 5lat. W wieku 7 lat poszła do szkoły muzycznej. Przez dwanaście lat przygotowywała się do zawodu pianistki klasycznej, a jejdodatkowym instrumentem była gitara. Ukończyła Akademię Muzyczną im. Karola Szymanowskiego w Katowicach. Podczas studiów założyła zespółSovay , którego repertuarem były tradycyjne angielskie ballady folkowe z XVIII i XIX w, jak również amerykańskie i brytyjskie piosenki folkowe. Zespół występował w całej Polsce, a Telewizja Polska nakręciła o nim film dokumentalny. Jarmilę okrzyknięto wówczas „Królową Folku” (Polskie Radio Trójka). Działała również aktywnie na polskiej scenie rockowej jako piosenkarka i klawiszowiec w kilku znanych zespołach rockowych, takich, jak T.Love. Zaśpiewała także ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu Michała Lorenza „Zakład”. Oprócz tego, badała muzykę ludową Anglii i krajów dawnej Jugosławii. Jarmila Xymena Górna przy pracy. W 1990 r. Jarmila przyjechała do Londynu, gdzie, zarzuciwszy wątki stylistyczne łączące ją z jej muzyczną przeszłością, mogła swobodnie odkrywać prawdziwie swoiste brzmienie, „własny głos” – zarówno w sensie dosłownym, jak i metaforycznym. Była zdecydowana usunąć z niego wszelkie naleciałości jazzowe, soulowe, a nawet folkowe. Rozpoczął się wówczas okres eksperymentowania z głosem i fortepianem. Nowy styl Jarmili rozwinął się w pełni wTrolley Stop we wschodnim Londynie, gdzie przez dwa lata prowadziła swoje autorskie koncertyTrance-Magic Piano Sessions, z częstotliwością raz na dwa tygodnie.
