MUSIC FOR EGON SCHIELE features incidental music written for a theater-dance piece about the Viennese artist Egon Schiele.
Composed for a live theater/dance production about the tragic life of Austrian artist Egon Schiele, the gentle majesty of Music for Egon Schiele is a welcome change of pace for anyone bored with popular music forms, transporting the listener's mood entirely. Rachel's weaves a delicate but highly moving musical fabric that wraps itself around you tightly and pulls you in, simultaneously cradling you lovingly while haunting you with its melancholy ambiance. At times, the emotionally rich compositions work as effectively as any ballet score to tell the artist's tragic story. It is to pianist Rachel Grimes' credit that her pieces convey a stirring sense of drama and vivid imagery that perfectly match her subject. Highly recommended. ~ Bret Love

| | Rachel's Handwriting CD (1995)
Music For Egon Schiele CD music
$11.59 Louisville, KY's Rachel's might record for the punk/noise label Quarterstick Records, but their ambitious blend of post-minimalist modern classical music and post-rock experimentalism (guests include ex-Volcano Suns bassist Bob Weston; ex-Rodan leader Jason Noble wrote several tracks with Grimes) has almost nothing at all to do with rock music. These seven pieces, recorded between 1991 and 1994, featuring a cast of 16 musicians in various combinations, range from the two-minute solo piano miniature "Frida Kahlo" to the chaotic fourteen-and-a-half-minute "Full on Night," which blends a full chamber orchestra with electric guitar and tape loops like a more sonically aggressive version of Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. Well-recorded and gorgeously packaged (as are all Rachel's albums), Handwriting is probably not to be ...
| | Rachel's Sea And The Bells CD (1996)
Music For Egon Schiele music CDs
$12.25 Formed out of the ashes of Rodan, this loose collective thrives on the neo-classical compositional skills of pianist Rachel Grimes, bassist/organist Jason Noble, and violinist Christian Frederickson. Augmented by a rotating cast of cellists, trumpeters, and drummers, the trio concocts an emotive symphony that, though thoroughly modern, seems timeless. The songs on The Sea and the Bells flow together so seamlessly, it almost seems like one brilliant hour-long epic composition. "Rhine ...
| | Rachel's Selenography CD (1999)
Music For Egon Schiele songs
$13.05 Rachel's is often lumped in with the "post-rock" crowd for its lack of vocals or 4/4 rhythms, but that's misleading. This forward-looking instrumental ensemble makes music that fits in no easy category. The heart of the sound is Rachel Grimes's piano, which lies at the center of most tracks on SELENOGRAPHY. The tunes combine a classical sense of arrangement and composition with an edginess that flirts ...
| | Rachel's Full On Night CD (2000)
Music For Egon Schiele album
$10.59 The 14-minute track "Full on Night" originally appeared on the first Rachel's album, HANDWRITING, in 1996. While touring to support that album, the band found that, live, the song had begun to mutate as it was played slightly differently, night after night. After completing the tour, they re-recorded it, incorporating these changes. Dubbed the "Recension mix," this 12 + minute version opens the FULL ON NIGHT EP.
Initially, the two versions are similar, certainly identifiable as the same basic song, though the "Recension mix" is a little slower, a little cleaner, and has a little less ambient noise. As it progresses, "Recension" begins to take on more free-form, experimental aspects--strange, wavering strings and a grinding guitar line, underpinned by a shuffling beat. For the EP's second track, "The Precise Temperature of Darkness," ...
| | Rachel's Systems/Layers CD (2003)
Music For Egon Schiele CD music
$12.79 Rachel's is a group that defies easy categorization. Variously described as neo-classical, experimental, post-rock, or a chamber ensemble for the indie-rock set, the enigmatic collective specializes in music that blurs the boundaries that usually define genres. They are dedicated to the exploration of ideas and renowned for their independent-minded work with filmmakers, photographers, choreographers, and visual artists.
SYSTEMS/LAYERS was developed by the group in collaboration with the SITI Company for a theater piece of the same name and is based on improvisations and conceptual conversations. Recorded over a two-year period, the album includes material performed live with members of the company, along with field recordings ...
