Introducing EXILES… featuring orchestral versions of some of my early works alongside the soundtrack to Sol León & Paul Lightfoot’s ballet Singulière Odyssée, the new album was recorded in Tallinn in 2019 with conductor Kristjan Järvi and the Baltic Sea Philharmonic.
Baltic Sea Philharmonic is a really interesting orchestra. It consists of young players from all the nations around the Baltic Sea so that obviously includes former Western European countries, former Eastern European countries, so it’s a little bit of a social project. It has this ‘peacemaking’ function, people being able to talk to each other in a creative way. It struck me that it would be nice to have that orchestra play music that matched that theme.”
EXILES is released on August 6th 2021 and available to pre-order: dg.lnk.to/exiles
For now, the first taste of the record, a short edit of the 33-minute title track, is now available on all digital music platforms. Head to my KZbin to learn more about the project.
Tracklisting:
EXILES
THE HAUNTED OCEAN (from WALTZ WITH BASHIR)
INFRA 5
FLOWERS OF HERSELF (from WOOLF WORKS)
ON THE NATURE OF DAYLIGHT (from THE BLUE NOTEBOOKS)
SUNLIGHT (from SONGS FROM BEFORE)

I lost a lot of people in 2020 and I was numb and not allowing myself to feel. I randomly found Max around this time last year and as I listened to his scores, it allowed me to grieve and get it all out. He is my favorite composer. While I can’t wait to hear his new album November is still probably my all time favorite piece.

Sincerely sorry for your losses.. I hope his music helps you heal ❤️⏳

This Guy explains Us true European music language.

[@darrena.marcus8534]

In many ways the theme is exile has been around forever especially in folk traditions e.g. see Irish or Algerian music. Forced migration is nothing new and has always existed.

[@laralebeu36]

The fact that this is still happening today should get us thinking. Have we really changed? Is the modern civilization really civilized?

[@darrena.marcus8534]

@@laralebeu36 what world region to are you referring to when you say 'modern civilization'? If you look at the world as a whole it isn't surprising at all that forced migration still exists.
