OLD
AGE MEETS NEW AGE:
Sheli Nan at the Harpsichord
"Over the last few decades, New Age music has
proliferated. Has anyone, though, used the harpsichord to send that particular
message? An instrument from centuries of yore, imaginatively adapted
to the styles and colors of today's improvisatory thinkingthat
is what Sheli Nan has done, even throwing in a few old timers, such as
Baroquists Telemann and Frescobaldi, and for good measure, creating a
bluesy Bach boogie. Meet the harpsichord on new ground in this definitely
fun disc."
-- Igor Kipnis, Early Music America

UNDERCURRENTS:
by The Elixirs
Wacky performance art and a clever sense of humor create a musical experience that is hard to forget. Ms. Nan's musicians, like fragments of a fractured personality, play music that comes from dreams and a parallel universe. This CD, for the adventurous and open-minded, is a ride into inner space. As the liner notes say, 'sound=motivation, ideas=catalyst, music=elixir, sound+ideas=music, music=undercurrents.' Some of the instruments featured on this disc are keyboards, marimba, vocals, drums, percussion, bass, flute and horns.
