Bootstrap Physics

The viola da gamba, primarily found in music of the Renaissance and Baroque, is here used in varying combinations with electric guitar, synthesizer, acoustic guitar, and medieval fiddle. The musical style organically blends old with new, classical with popular. The result is a richly textured, expressive music with a sound all its own."Bootstrap Physics" explores a musical compatibility between instruments and styles that aren't often combined.
"Vajda plays all the instruments and writes all the tunes on this instrumental
album, and it is really compelling. His primary instrument is the viola da gamba,
which looks like a cello, plays like a cello ? but it's a viola. Regardless of
my ignorance on that topic, I can still appreciate the beauty of this music.
Soothing, intriguing and different enough to make it stand out."

ishwish utilizes sound, art and technology to communicate universal knowledge purely on a vibrational level. Being in harmony with the universe will evolve our consciousness.With this new album, ishwish has created a vast sonic universe for the listener to explore. Christopher Currell, utilizing new audio technologies, has created a tapestry of sound and music which becomes a unique and personal experience to each listener. An important factor in ishwish music is improvisation. When music is created in "present time", a special energy happens. That energy is unique because it remains long after the actual performance is finished, still influencing the people and the environment.
"Sound is a vibration. Like sound, the universe is also vibration. If we look closer, there is information in the vibration. All knowledge we seek resides there. All we have to do is listen."

Guitar Chant

Since the early 1980's guitarist/composer Michael Knopf has been interested in developing a melodic guitar style based on vocal chant. He has modeled improvisations and compositions for solo guitar (and for orchestra, choir, ensembles and other solo instruments) on Flamenco, Persian, Arab and Hindu musical vocal styles.These new works have made possible the enshrining of diverse practices in new, original music. Michael's musical paths have been paralleled by an active engagement with the chiaroscuro of material and spiritual frontiers. The human essence is beyond time and place, but like the sun's rays on a mirror, our essence is reflected in the physical and mental capacities we work with in this world. He believes that all well-crafted music aimed at serving the higher life of humanity is spiritual. The fusing of the intellect with emotional honesty and aspiration is the nexus for discovery of truth and beauty in all the sciences and arts.
Some of these works use alternate tunings which provide the guitar with a unique resonance, sometimes ostensibly sounding like the Persian tar or the Arabic oud, and at other times like a classical guitar but with an expanded range and a more evocative voice.
