Music For String Ensemble
RAZ MESINAI
Music For String Ensemble
Boomkat Product Review:
Composer and influential producer Raz Mesinai (aka Badawi and Sub Dub) digs thru the archives to re-assemble this set of tracks recorded between 1997 and 2000 using just an EMI-E6400 hardware sampler. It's string music, but produced from a completely sample-based electronic production perspective.
Having composed music for film, worked on foundational illbient tomes and even recorded for John Zorn's Tzadik label, Mesinai has an enviable career - he's even a well-known comic book artist, and has penned issues for Marvel. 'Music for String Ensemble' harks back to a time when Mesinai was known for his mastery of the sampler, and here he works with material performed by his Ghost Ensemble, a nine-piece virtual group that features Shahzad Ismaily and Eyvind Kang, among others. Using this source material, Mesinai played the samples by hand using his EMU sampler, recreating what's aesthetically classical music using methods he'd pioneered on his influential electronic releases. It's revelatory material, and not instantly identifiable as electronically performed - Mesinai's sense of timing gives the tracks a flow that feels "real" and his source material isn't too heavily altered.
Fans of Mesinai's Badawi material and movie score work will no-doubt be curious to hear this collection.
