Le Mystére des Voix Bulgares – Сватба (Svatba) [arr. Miguel Falcão’s “BEBE”]

This idea was inspired by the magnificent music of the Bulgarian female choirs, better known as “Le Mystére des Voix Bulgares”, conceived by the great Filip Kutev. This Music is part of me since I long ago came across its 1st vinyl, released by 4AD. Only some years back I had the great priveledge ofContinue reading “Le Mystére des Voix Bulgares – Сватба (Svatba) [arr. Miguel Falcão’s “BEBE”]”

The “forgotten” Remembering has always the song that I gave the least amont of listens from this album. Maybe because of that, when I started playingContinue reading “The Remembering – High the Memory (i)”

A Venture

Unlikely maybe, but there is something of a “hidden gem” about “A Venture”.

The bassline begins very self-contained on the neck pickup, and then begins to come out of the shellContinue reading “A Venture”
