Kevin Keller's GATHERING LEAVES features 11 piano compositions, supplemented by airy keyboard effects, lush backing strings, and bass. Drawing inspiration from nature and rural life, this pastoral album mixes sweet melodies with portentous chords and large, reverb-drenched production.
Tracks such as "First Snow" and "Unharvested" are decidedly bleak, as ambient keyboard effects wrap the listener in a blanket of loneliness. Other titles such as "Pale Unkempt Hours" and "Distanced" suggest despair and detachment, respectively. Both pieces blend wide-eyed reverie with a kind of calm resignation. The title track "Gathering Leaves" is also contemplative and mysterious given its gradual, almost impressionistic, harmonic development. Although it is dark and moody, GATHERING LEAVES is quite engaging. Each piece seems to be communicating something that may never be fully identified or understood. However, this inscrutability becomes the album's greatest appeal.
Personnel: Kevin Keller (piano, keyboards); Kevin Keller; Jeff Pearce (guitar); Tania Simoncelli (cello); Mark Fassett (bass instrument); Rachel Amov (violin); David Darling, Eric Stein (cello).
Liner Note Author: Kevin Keller.

Gathering Leaves CD music
$8.85  
The title track is an almost spooky exercise in synth/sequencer tension and dynamics: while eerie atmospheres of Mellotron go head to head with spiraling Moogs, dense, humming sequencer webs percolate along the surface, motile and mobile. The album's closer, "Sequent C," leaves the listener breathless, as black electronic clouds form and dissipate and the surrounding space ...

Gathering Leaves music CDs
$11.69 
For a guy who takes his sartorial cues from teenage horror flicks (he plays onstage with a weird sort of hockey mask on his face), Buckethead sure does make pretty music. It was not always thus -- his work with Praxis, for example, has often been pretty challenging. But on this solo project, on which he plays both guitar and bass and is helped ...

Gathering Leaves album
$8.19 
Additioanl personnel includes: Randy Bracker (trumpet); Rainer Bruninghaus (piano, keyboards); Luis Jardim (percussion).
Cynics might point out the reality that greatest-hits packages on artists who have left a label are a ploy to milk the consumer, but the consumers care more about a solid package full of their favorite songs from the artist. The new Acoustic Alchemy (with Miles Gilderdale replacing the late founding guitarist, Nick Webb, as Greg Carmichael's partner) is riding high on Higher Octave Music, but the material on this collection -- part of a new GRP collection series -- will always be, to the true Acoustic Alchemy fan, the real deal. AA's post-Webb sound is fancy and feisty, extremely soulful, and very attractive. Yet, there's something more intimate about the way Carmichael and Webb interacted; theirs was a union of true musical soul mates. This wonderful 16-track collection from their GRP and earlier MCA "Master Series" projects was chosen and sequenced by their manager, Stewart Coxhead, and he smartly picks all the crowd favorites: "Mr. Chow," "Catalina Kiss," "Same Road, Same Reason," and more. ...
| | Clockwork Orange: Wendy Carlos's Complete Original Score CD (1972) Original Soundtrack
Gathering Leaves CD music
$13.59
This is an enchanced CD containing a full audio program as well as an "hypertext" file readable by any Web browser. Also contains two bonus tracks not on the original release.
Originally released on Columbia (31480). Includes liner notes by Wendy Carlos and Chris Nelson.
Even before Carlos knew of a film project concerning A Clockwork Orange, the composer had begun work on a composition (Timesteps) based on the book. It's the best piece of music in the score (and one of the most famed in the early history of electronic music), fitting in well next to late-'60s minimalist works by Terry Riley as well as the emerging Tangerine Dream (pre-Phaedra). Carlos also pioneered the effect of synthesized vocals (known as a vocoder), and their eerie nature perfectly complemented scenes from the film. Much of the rest of A Clockwork Orange is filled with rather cloying synthesizer versions of familiar classical pieces (from Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Purcell's Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary, ...
| | Winter's Solstice, Vol. 6 CD (1997)
Gathering Leaves music CDs
$8.29
This installment of the Winter Solstice series presents an of winter-themed recordings. In addition to usual Windham Hill artists such as George Winston and Liz Story, there are appearances by Marion Meadows, Todd Cochran, Narada recruit David Arkenstone, and the quartet of Brian Keane, Michael Manring, Paul McCandless and Lew Soloff. Perhaps surprisingly, the lack of traditional holiday material only enhances this disc's appeal, as do the first-rate performances. Winter's Solstice Vl is more dynamic and less apt to fade into the background ...

Gathering Leaves album

Noir Désir was a favorite in the French underground scene for a number of years. When they finally released their first full-length album, Veuillez rendre l'âme (à qui elle appartient), they were lucky enough to use "Aux sombres héros de l'amer" ("To the Dark Heroes of Bitterness") as their first single. It was an instant hit and they suddenly became France's number one rock band. Oddly enough, this album is both their best to date and their most unusual. ...
