Hollywood Picture Book on Calendar Songs

 

Calendar Girl has added the Hollywood Picture Book mix to the March page of Calendar Songs – along with some nice notes:

I'm very pleased to have a remix here from vo1k1 who has generated such enthusiasm over at ccmixter. Even better, this mix features Kaer Trouz on piano and additional vocals. KT is an awesome singer, songwriter and composer who has contributed some real gems to the ccmixter community - both original a cappellas, music samples and a couple of incredible remixes. It's really worth checking out her homepage. While you're at it you can visit vo1k1's site too: here. His light, layered, summery mix of March features Duckett on bass and guitar from The Hexyl Cycle. Thank you for this! CGx

The Calendar Songs project is really quite astonishing – its ambition level, the number and quality of remixes, and the resulting body of work, as well as the highly anticipated album. In addition to the obvious and apparent goodness of all this – there is something else percolating here – like the tip of an opensource-ish artistic iceberg, that I have not completely processed. Well worth checking out.

How the prolific Kaer Trouz creates, expresses, and renders so much emotion in so many a capellas – I do not know. So, I was relatively blown away when I found she could do that with the piano also. Please hear her work also at Willanyonehearthis and ccmixter.

[Kaer Trouz]

As usual, pristine music, gorgeously rendered and I am eternally grateful for your kind words. I wish sometimes, all my damp and un- hinged memories were a sad well that could finally dry, but every time I think- well that's me purged, another bubbles up. I suppose it's cheaper than endless therapy!

Hi KT - thanks for the visit and comment :) Yes, it is cheaper than therapy, much more cathartic, and certainly more fun (IMHO). I've heard the well never goes dry, you just figure out how some landscaping might integrate it, lie turn it into a fish pond or something.
