EPITAPHS AND PORTRAITS is dedicated to Bread & Roses which supports victims of the AIDS virus.
Classically trained pianist Craig Urquhart has had the magnificent fortune in his life to work as an assistant to the man whom he credits with inspiring his entire musical career, the great Leonard Bernstein. Bernstein said of Urquhart, "...he's a truly gifted composer (whose music has) a deceptive simplicity and honesty that is rarely to be heard. His tonal approach is not merely sincere, but genuinely moving, with a private beauty of its own." Over the years, his classical compositions have been recorded by world-famous baritone Thomas Hampson and Lauren Wagner. His "The Wonder of Miracles" was choreographed by the Turtle's Dance Company for a memorial concert at the Cathedral St. John the Divine. His compositional style began shifting from classical to new age as he began appreciating the later compositions of Brian Eno and Philip Glass, and his approach moved from atonal to tonal and lyrical after a project which found him setting the poetry of Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson to music. This 14-track recording pays loving tribute to friends, acquaintances, and caretakers of people who died of AIDS. "It is not melancholy in tone," he says, "but rather celebratory of these people and their lives. These songs were my way of dealing with the mounting losses. Some of them reflect the personalities of the departed, others the emotions of their caretakers." Another, "In Memoriam G.S.," is an angry piece. The set begins with "Honor and Remembrance" before moving into a series of nine individual tracks with titles indicating "in memoriam" and the departed person's initials. Others include "Charlie's Blues," "Bread and Roses" (named for an AIDS hospice in Connecticut), and the lullaby "Berceuse." The idea for this recording is based on Urquhart's belief that music can heal, and the musical harmonies represent the harmony listeners can have in their lives. ~ Jonathan Widran
Composer/solo pianist Craig Urquhart creates rich melodic landscapes which blossom into dramatic journeys from the heart. Expressing his passion for the environment as well as a belief in the healing power of music, while drawing upon the influences of classical music's keyboard masters, Urquhart has become one of modern acoustic piano's most transcendent voices. Urquhart's timeless sound and compositional focus has gradually shifted from academic classical music to a more lyrical personal voice. His music draws upon the influence of such iconic keyboard composers as Bach, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Debussy, Satie and Copland, but Urquhart also considers pop/rock musicians Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, and Brian Eno as creative influences.The composer's love of the piano began at age six, when he began taking piano lessons as a child growing up in Michigan; however he credits Leonard Bernstein's CBS series The Young People's Concerts with The New York Philharmonic as "literally educating a whole generation of kids about music, including myself."Moving to New York City after receiving his Master's in Composition from the University of Michigan, Urquhart left some of his music with Bernstein's Manhattan doorman; the Maestro called Urquhart back, and the two became acquainted. In 1985 Urquhart was hired as Bernstein's musical assistant, and worked for Bernstein until the composer's death in 1990. He also served for ten years as a member of the music faculty at the Harlem School of the Arts, and was actor Tom Hulce's musical ...

Those who have heard DJ Olive's more dance-oriented work on the Agriculture label may be surprised by the arrhythmic seriousness of his collaboration with cellist and composer Jean-Paul Dessy and the new-music chamber group Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles. For one thing, there are no beats here, people -- if you want to motorvate your booty, you'll want to scoot down the street to one of those other venues. For another thing, even if there were beats, the mood is so dark and brooding that dancing wouldn't really feel like a viable option anyway. Scories sets the tone early with the droning and almost scary "Walking Slowly," which features lots of low tones and weird, slightly creepy snippets of vocal samples. "Along the Line" takes things further along in the same mode, but then the aptly titled "Ghost Groove" starts hinting at the possible future emergence of a beat, while shards of turntable scratches crunch beneath the creaking and groaning string section. More pronounced scratching acts as a counterweight to a spare cello part on "Pass the Potatoes," and then you're back into the droning darkness on the title track. The album's final selection is almost 17 minutes long, and is still rather dark but somehow less brooding -- there are episodes of fitful, almost frantic energy that lighten the mood somewhat. The overall effect of this album is really quite compelling. Highly recommended. ~ Rick Anderson
Collaborative project by Gregor Asch, aka DJ Olive ("illbient" plastician and musicophiliac translistener turned sound fragment mixer, sculptor of vinyl matter, choreographer of audible bodies and movements) and Jean-Paul Dessy (masterful horizon-widener, new music surveyor, and cellist). Playing with them are the musicians of the Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles: violinists, cellists, a flutist, a trombonist... who, invited by the two accomplices, generously contribute their instrumental inventions in order to develop mixed pieces that play with sparks, scratches and caresses. Scories was recorded in the summer of 2004 at Igloo Studio under the supervision of soundmaster Daniel Léon, who contributed his expert touch to the mixing stage and found the best way to highlight the spontaneity and the energy that produced these inspired musical gestures. Scories is the result of various confrontations and convergences. These scoriae, solid residue from the smelting and refining processes of musical metals, ...
