Viva la difference?

Above all of this Coldplay has orchestrated a lush collection of cellos and various string sounds in service of what is essentially haunting deeply inspired chamber- pop. There’s nary a distorted guitar within earshot as opposed to Satriani’s mild boogie which is all about the keening heavily distorted electric guitar line. It is doubtful that Coldplay whose members are avowed disciples of U2 and Radiohead and whose music has about as much in common with Satriani’s guitar workouts as Anton Webern’s does with Miley Cyrus listened to the guitarist for inspiration. Or even entertainment for that matter. This whole thing appears to be a matter of complete coincidence. British band Coldplay says it’s just coincidence if parts of “Viva La Vida” sound like “If I Could Fly” a 2004 instrumental by Joe Satriani who has sued the band for copyright infringement. Satriani cannot claim ownership of this particular chord progression –a common one in rock and pop and one that suggests a particular scale of notes for melodic development and exploration –any more than Coldplay can.

“Phones Machines and King Kong” comes about halfway through Fleischmann’s album but it makes sense to start there anyway. The piece is the most dramatic instance of what Fleischmann is attempting all along: to nurture human warmth and emotion in the austere beds of electronic music. This is not a new project for him or for likeminded artists on the Morr Music label. Fleischmann’s last album “The Humbucking Coil” in 2006 layered gorgeous repeated acoustic guitar licks on top of data streamed rhythms and tones. Yet this time he goes a bit further adding voices — his own as well as others — to two-thirds of the album tracks. Twice he employs a duet — William Van Ghost singing the male parts and Marillies Jagsch the female — to add even more complicated layers of emotional dissonance to his songs. The loveliest of all the songs though ponder the intersection of human and artifice both in the music and the lyrics.
Music has always been in the air for devotee

My parents started me with lessons at 5. Since my father had a music store (Anderson Music Center aka Music Today) I also took guitar and drum lessons. I ended up playing a drum set through middle school and high school and played in my father’s big band. Q: Why did you decide to dedicate your life to jazz music?A: It was just a part of my soul. Jazz is a big part of my life but I also have a love for Latin pop and meditation music. I have written many original songs and seem to vary my style from whom I am writing with or for.
Sound of music: Broken heart

A total of six people play guitar on the track and numerous othermusicians to the credit. This certainly talks about the scale of the album andis certainly a long way from the scrappy garage band they once debuted with. The track Chinese Democracy actually starts with loads of peoplespeaking in Chinese before the music is introduced. And the guitar riff itstarts with might remind you of another famous band ?The Scorpions?. But as it progresses the song becomes lot more interesting androcks pretty hard. IRS is the kind of song which can hold steadfast on its ownon the list of GnR Greatest Hits. The song Rhiad and The Bedounishas some interestingly sung chorus.
