Gabriel Johnson ........."Fra_ctured" now out!!.........
If graduating from the New England Conservatory or being the featured trumpet soloist for Director Clint Eastwood on several of his films wasn't enough to get your attention, Gabriel Johnson has now pushed his trumpet playing and passion for electronic music into a groundbreaking debut instrumental album. Fra_ctured is a mix of melodic bliss, head-nodding grooves, aggressively-driven rhythms, and harmony sprinkled with dirt and noise. Gabriel's style has been touted as a fresh mashup of the hyperdub beats of Squarepusher, the ambient explorations of trumpeter Jon Hassell, and the sonic accessibility of M83. Through various recording sessions, Gabriel became associated with record producer and electronic musician Carmen Rizzo, who fell in love with his sound, and upon hearing the record immediately offered to mix and release it on his own Electrofone label. Get ready to experience the trumpet in a whole new lo-fi and highly stylized light.

Huun Huur Tu .........Featured review in Time Magazine...........Ambient Mix tape Digital EP NOW OUT ON ITUNES........go to www.hhtmusic.com for a free download.......
Huun-Huur-Tu come from the former Soviet Autonomous Republic of Tuva, a sparsely settled region of grasslands, boreal forests, and mountain ridges that lies 2,500 miles east of Moscow Russia, situated at the center of Asia, north of Mongolia. This indigenous music highlights rare instruments and preserves what is arguably some of the world's oldest form of music making. The best known genre of Tuvan music, xöömei (throat-singing), comprises what one might call a lexicon of musical onomatopoeia in which natural sounds are mimetically transformed into musical representations. Their past collaborations range from Ry Cooder to The Kronos Quartet. The current album "Eternal" is a collaboration with electronic musician & record producer Carmen Rizzo (Niyaz, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Oakenfold, Seal) to form a unique blend of ambient electronic and sonic textures compared to a Brian Eno style album. The album takes you through a lush cinematic journey of almost dream like sequences of deep happiness. Forty minutes of a thrilling ride from start to finish.The forthcoming album will be billed as a Huun Huur Tu & Carmen Rizzo album, slated for a late July release.

Inbar later served 4 years with the Israeli Air Force where she was the first female officer ever in the Anti-Aircraft Combat Division, then a First Lieutenant in Military Intelligence Specializing in Public and International Relations. Since relocating to Southern California in 2003, she has been marrying biblical texts about yearning for love and a home for the Jewish people with old Yemenite melodies which complement each other beautifully in this special and heartfelt album.
