 Topic: Interactive Poll: The Acoustic SessionsPosted: January 30 2022 at 09:53 |
|
German comedian, jazz musician and multi-instrumentalist, author, film+theatre director, actor. This Austrian guy is a saught-after session musician, initially a metal guitarist he studied jazz guitar. THE ACOUSTIC SESSIONS Hello to everyone and welcome to the latest edition in this interactive
poll series! The poll this time is dedicated to acoustic music, performed by artists and bands who write their own music. Let’s explore
and enjoy the variety and beauty of acoustic music! These are the rules of the current poll 1. Acoustic music is basically any music that primarily features acoustic instruments as opposed to music where sound is produced through electric or electronic means. In order to guarantee a wider range of musical genres, the use of microphones for vocals, amps and a supporting bass guitar will be allowed. The important thing is that the acoustic musical instruments and the vocals - if there are any – come into their own. 2. You can suggest up to 3 songs. Acoustic music offers almost unlimited options. Please try to be as diverse as possible in
terms of musical style. Your songs shouldn’t be longer than 5-6 minutes, though. 3. Lesser-known artists and bands who are listed in PA are eligible (less than 50 reviews). General provisions Everybody can take part and nominate a song for
inclusion in this poll. Note: You must at least nominate an initial song
to reserve a slot on the poll. You only have to decide on your nominations
after a week. After everybody has announced their final
nominations, they are all put up for voting. Please do not vote before the poll
is declared open. Then you have 3 votes for your favourite.
Please don't vote for your own nomination. ENJOY & HAVE FUN!

OK, I'll jump right in, because I probably won't have many occasions this coming week to chime in... I was actually thinking of Die anarchistische Abendunterhalting, but I discovered (some time ago and to my surprise) that they are listed here on PA. So... First a French group named L'Attirail with mostly and mainly acoustic with guitars, banjo, ukulele, accordeon, clarinette, flutes, monochord, drums, vocals... Maybe you've heard their music before, because it is used in several films. This track for example also appears in Hiner Saleem's film My Sweet Pepper Land (which I recommend).

And second, friends of mine. A generally rather festive group with an interesting mix of influences, and a rich instrumentation (accordion, vocals, saxophones, trumpet, clarinet, double bass, tuba, drums & percussion...).

@Kees
Thank you for joining the poll, Kees! Oh, I have watched that movie and I liked it as well. I was not aware of L'Attirail, at least not consciously. I've had a look at their discography and learned that they wrote i.a. the film score for 'Mon meilleur ami', a film that I have watched many times. I'm glad you introduced this group here! As for PA, normally I'm not restrictive but since this poll theme is very open I decided to avoid prog which can affect musical diversity. I don't see why your other group was included in the archives but I think that your current choice is equal to them, if not even better. Edited by Mila-13 - January 30 2022 at 12:32 |

I aimed for a variety of styles. I think this should do.
16 Horsepower was an alternative country and rock band from the 90s to early 2000s. This is from their first full-length album. 16 Horsepower - Black Soul Choir I posted some Korean Bands in Asian music poll as I am intrigued by the traditional instruments. This KEXP performance was recent and after that poll I think. Ak Dan Gwang Chil - Yeong Jeong Geo RI The full performance is on YouTube. Finally, an artist who I have brought up a few times before, jazz fusion bassist Jonas Hellborg. He did one album in 1991 playing acoustic bass guitar with jazz drumming legend Tony Williams and the Soldier String Quartet.

NOTE Since I have already introduced a rule about the length of the songs (6 minutes) I decided to allow the selection of prog artists and bands with less than 50 reviews. Edited by Mila-13 - January 30 2022 at 12:19 |

That's good. I had completely forgotten that Hellborg is on PA. Album only has 7 ratings and no reviews.

I have changed the rules. Lesser-known bands from PA are eligible now (up to 50 reviews), there is a time limit of 6 min. though.

With the 6 minutes rule, my first song does not qualify, but I'll leave it there for you to listen because it's awesome.   I'll think of another song.

Oh good, PA with few reviews... So here they are, with clarinet, violin, cello and accordion... On some albums they also have some electronics joining this instrumentation, but not on the track proposed here (from the album Eight Definitions, with 11 ratings and no reviews).

@Cristi It is awesome, and I would like to have it in. Do those guys have songs that are a little bit shorter, 7min or so? This one is a bit longer because it is a live performance, including some great improvisation.  Edited by Mila-13 - January 30 2022 at 13:01 |

probably, I will look either for another song by them, or another artist. No rush, right? The poll is fresh out!

Lovely idea for a poll, Mila. Looking forward to hearing everyone's entries here. Here are my three:
First up is Myrkur
Leaves of Yggdrasil from “Folksange” 2020 Emerging from the black metal field,
Amalie Bruun goes full Scandinavian folk here. Second, changed to an original, per original instructions is duo Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter, performing Lisa's composition "Luna de Amor," here on harp and viola. Both are, incidentally,
multi-instrumentalists. (Out of Competition, due to 7 min. length) Van Morrison Astral Weeks Title Track 1968. This is an extraordinary recording, for those who only know Van Morrison through huge hits. It was released at a time when everyone was going full-on electric and it is primarily acoustic. Decidedly different from anything before or since, it remains always in my personal Top 10 recordings of all time.
