Acoustic Project String Ensemble

 

The Acoustic Project String Ensemble is a Croatian string ensemble led by Dubravko Palanovic and concert master Marco Graziani. The ensemble began as a new formation of the ensemble Acoustic Project and a collaboration between double bassist Dubravko Palanović and violinist Marco Graziani. In addition to a traditional or "standard" string orchestra repertoire, the ensemble strives to be innovative in their programs and performances; debuting new pieces by Croatian and international composers as well experimenting with different styles. The ensemble members are young but already established musicians, providing a strong interpretation as well as bringing invigorating energy to their projects. They perform regularly as soloists with many orchestras and on recitals, having won many prestigious awards.

Album reviews:

Katarina Kutnar

 

 

The Acoustic Project String Ensemble performs a mix of classical and contemporary music with a strong emphasis on capturing the life and musical essence of each piece.  Their performance is warm, full of life and a coherence rarely captured in studio like conditions.

 

In the pursuit of creating a deeper connection with the performance, the album was recorded in long takes, with very few post recording edits. This approach inevitably leaves some minor flaws unattended, but we believe in maintaining as much as possible, the life and soul of the live experience in favour of a "perfect" sounding, but less vivid recording. The same care is taken during the whole process from recording set-up, mixing and final edits. It is our intention to preserve the emotional insight into the performance, resulting in a more insightful and enjoyable musical experience.

Selsius

 

Hailing from the Swedish city of Gothenburg has helped shape Selsius’s atmospheric indie rock sound. The guys have already been compared to the likes of Sigur Ros and Arcade Fire due to their fiery live performances and epic soundscapes but Selsius have a freshness to what they do that makes them stand out from the crowd. The band have just finished their final album, recorded in the Scottish highlands, drifting off like the concept albums of old.

 

Selsius are:

 

Jakob Hjulström: Vocals & Guitar

Patrik Hedemo: Guitar & Vocals

Algoth Björkman: Bass Guitar & Vocals

Tobias Ljungman: Drums & Vocals

 

Selsius last studio album 'First, Do No Harm' was released 2016 and this is the only video from the album

 

 

Fortunately Selsius did a memorable "almost un-plugged" live

concert at Music Makes, December 2014. We where lucky to

have the performance recorded. Here are two videos with music from this memorable night.
