Dave Lindholm - Pieni & hento ote



Dave Lindholm is a Finnish singer/songwriter active since 1970s until today. This is one of his best known songs. 

edit: here's more while I'm at it:

CMX - Nainen tanssii tangoa 



CMX are a Finnish rock band active since late 1980s. They are in the archives, but the album Aura where this track is from has 8 ratings when I checked. Here's a live version, but it's more or less 1:1 with the album version.

Nice to see that we have another IA-poll. Thank you Christian!

This is the first act that came to mind. Most of you may have heard of John Zorn's Masada project but I believe that not everyone is familiar with this work in detail, as it now consists of over 600 compositions and it is performed by several ensembles with different instrumentation.

The Masada String Trio is one of them. They perform selections from the Masada songbook in a classical-chamber jazz form (Mark Feldmann, violin; Erik Friedlander, cello; Greg Cohen, bass).  With the addition of Marc Ribot (guitar), Cyro Baptista (percussion) and Joey Baron (drums) this same group has performed as the "Bar Kokhba Sextet". The performing style of both groups is characterized by the use of improvisation and its use of the inflections of Jewish music that are part of the compositional language of Zorn's "Masada" themes.

Masada String Trio: Raamiel (Haborym: Book of Angels Vol. 16, 2010)


I'll try to come up with something else during the weekend.

Going to be very busy, so in case I neglect this site for a while I thought I should declare my nominations now:

1. A Winged Victory for the Sullen - Steep Hills of Vicodin Tears
2. Hungry Ghosts - Nothing Has to Happen. No...

Actually, I will make this my number two choice (as I was just listening to it again as I explained my avatar and the music, in coordination with the visuals, is a big part of why I love the film In the Mood for Love).

Shigeru Umebayashi - Yumeji's Theme

From Denmark, this time. They call themselves an "experimental performance and sound collective". This track is from their debut album A New Age of Sensibility and combines violin, cello, percussion and voice.

We Like We - Anticipation:



If this is too busy for you, lets stick with just the violin player, Katrine Grarup Elbo. She released a solo album on the Sonic PIeces label: Fold / Unfold. Violon and sound processing (and an occasional voice, but not on this track).

I had posted this last weekend in the Youtube video thread and I think it applies here. The instrument is the morin khuur, or horsehead fiddle. The group is Uuhai and they feature two. More Mongolian folk metal.

Uuhai - Khar Khulz

Yeah, I love the use of violin by Limerick Junction and I love this track, and I do realise that here over some distance the fiddle arguably plays second fiddle to the bagpipe. But then there's the second half. Big smile (In fact one could also argue that these are two tracks, evil me...)
I love the A Winged Victory... track by the way, very meditative.

You wanted violin, violin is what you get!

I think I used Steve Reich's Violin Phase in an earlier IA-poll; it would be a perfect fit here... So, something else. Recently I stumbled upon the work of violin player Laura Cannell thanks to a bandcamp suggestion. Very intriguing work, in my opinion. I'll put up two different pieces: a first one recorded in a shipping container, featuring Violin, Overbowed Violin and Voice, and the second one is a collaboration work with cello player Kate Ellis. They did a year long project of EPs (These Feral Lands 2021: A Year Documented in Sound & Art), one for each month, some pieces accompanied by a video work, and since it's February...

Nice indeed! Nice theme (last year I was thinking doing something around the cello...). 
I love that A Winged Victory for the Sullen album; could have been a suggestion of mine, but I'll have no troubles finding others.

For starters, a band I love and that get not much talked about here on PA, so I don't know to what extent their music is known (probably less than their name). Here with Sylvia Houtzager on violin (her name is quite appropriate for a violin player: it means "wood sawyer"...). I checked, the Live in Amsterdam album has only 18 ratings and it has a wonderful rendition of:

Flairck - Voorspel in Sofia (Preliminaries in Sofia):

The Enescu one wrongfooted me a bit as this doesn't really fit my mood, but the more it goes on, the more I'm impressed by its fireworks character. Lots going on there.

Thank you for the kind words. Tongue

Second suggestion. Nash the Slash was the original violinist for Canadian prog band FM. His solo work is as one-man band.

I wanted to post a live performance of Wolf but the only one I found has a second track. The first track "Wolf" is my suggestion with Nash the Slash on electric violin. The second track "In a Glass Eye" has Nash the Slash playing an electric mandolin. Both tracks are on his second solo album Children of the Night from 1981.

Nash the Slash - Wolf

This was a particular favourite album of mine when when I was new to this site. It is included in RIO/Avant and has been in PA since I joined, and it still only has 14 ratings.

Volapük - Where Is Tamashii? (off the 2003 album of the same name)

Unlike my last suggestion, this one in in PA, but the year 2000 album it is off, Alone, Alone only has one rating by someone I do not recognise the name of and no reviews.

First suggestion. Written by JG Thirlwell and performed by the Mivos Quartet, the album Dystonia should have been on my top 40 list for 2023, but it wasn't on Awesome Prog until I added it, and then I forgot I added it when I did my last update.

The track here is Ozymandias.
