Andrew Bird

Chicago, United States Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer-songwriter, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He also is an accomplished whistler.

His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

Trained by the Suzuki method from a young age and a graduate of Illinois’ Northwestern University, Bird released his first solo album, Music of Hair, in 1996. Vastly different from his later releases, this first album showcases his violin skills and pays tribute to his fascination with both American and European folk traditions, as well as jazz and blues.

His initial commercial exposure was in collaborative work with the band Squirrel Nut Zippers. He was quickly lumped in with the swing craze that swept the United States music industry in the mid ’90s; this is an affiliation that he is still working to shed.

Taking on the role of band leader in 1997 with Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire, he released the album Thrills. This was followed by Oh! The Grandeur in 1998. Both albums were heavily influenced by traditional folk, pre-war jazz and swing, with Bird relying on the violin as his primary musical instrument.

Charlotte & Magon - Love Happening

Charlotte & Magon first met online in 2006. Charlotte was a musician from France, and Magon was a musician from Israel. They chatted over the internet for 2 years, then decided to make an album together. Charlotte flew over to Tel-Aviv for 12 days to meet Magon in March 2008.

In those 12 days of writing and recording songs together for this album, Charlotte & Magon fell in love, and they’ve been together ever since. What I was hearing was 2 people in sync, musically, emotionally and spiritually. What I heard was Love Happening; and that is what makes this album so special.

They channel Air, Sigur Ros, and the lighter sides of Dirty Vegas and Phoenix simultaneously, throw in some wave sound effects, French and English spoken word, soft whispering, some honest and heartfelt expression, and a keyboard solo here and there.

The chords are dissonant at times, but always seem to resolve (almost mirroring the perils of looking for love, then finding it), and the contrast of Charlotte’s soft angelic vocals to Magon’s slightly brasher voice blend well together during the more harmonious sections of this record. You can almost see them lovingly gaze at each other in your mind as their enchanting music conveys to you their blossoming love story from track 1 to track 10.

Charlotte & Magon have captured an important facet of human emotion, and successfully expressed it through music. Love Happening is exactly what it feels like to fall in love, and it will warm your soul with it’s honesty and charm.

—————– ( This was my first listen early dis am. I was still half sleep while listening to Charlotte & Magon and I kept asking myself, does this really fits tss. Well its definitely out of my parameters but still BEAUTIFUL. Give it go and decide for yourself. All I can say is… musics that is romantically beautiful with AWESOME VOCALS and totally laid back. Also VERY French sort of Nouvelle Vague. Charlotte & Magon is BEAUTFUL ). —————–

Boards of Canada

Edinburgh, United Kingdom (1986 – present)

Boards of Canada is an electronic music duo from Edinburgh, Scotland, composed of brothers Michael Sandison (b. 10 June 1969) and Marcus Eoin Sandison (b. 21 September 1970). They have released a number of works, most notably Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi, with little advertising and few interviews - like many of their label-mates on the pioneering electronic music label Warp.

Boards of Canada have had an enormous influence on the ambient, downtempo and IDM scenes. They have frequently made reference to the warm, scratchy, artificial sounds of 1970s television. Indeed, the Sandison brothers admit to being inspired by the documentary films of the National Film Board of Canada, from which they take their name. The duo have recorded a few minor works under the name Hell Interface. Boards of Canada’s music has been used in several CSI episodes and on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim interlude shorts; small bits of their music have been used on the BBC program Top Gear for transitional music.

Early Boards of Canada (1970s-1995)

Growing up in a musical family, brothers Michael and Marcus Eoin began playing instruments at a young age. They experimented with recording techniques at around the age of 10, using tape machines to layer cut-up samples of found sounds over compositions of their own. In their teens they participated in a number of amateur bands, however, it wasn’t until 1986 when Marcus was invited to Michael’s band that Boards of Canada was born.

—————— ( Boards of Canada is by far one of the BEST Electro / Ambient sound I’ve come across. If anyone having problem downloading “Music Has Right To Children” let me know and I’ ll reup in 2 parts. It’s Flac format, of course sound quality on this one is above all. ). ——————
