Naxos Orchestra - Coexist, Live At Polin

The orchestra Naxos is a unique project - by Milo Kurtis, who together with Konstanty Joriadis created a team gathering prominent artists from Syria, Yemen, Greece, Israel and Poland, where musicians settled permanently. Poland is a response to the popular trend in the world of culture and combining musical genres called world music. It combines the culture of the Balkans and the Middle East, the Mediterranean roots of most artists. The originator and founder of Naxos is a tireless seeker of new sounds - Milo Kurtis - Maanam co-founder, member of Ossian, Israel, Voo Voo and other iconic Polish teams. A multi-instrumentalist, playing on all kinds of ethnic instruments from around the world. Greek origin, for which Poland has become a place to stay, the same as America, where he lived a dozen years. It is in fact an advocate of a world without borders. Not only the music.

Naxos orchestra is composed by 9 persons. Artists are dressed in black, white Milo, Arabic galabii.
May 10, 2015 at the Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN, took place  a recorded live concert Orchestra. Thanks to the enthusiastic response of the concert audience, atmosphere was exceptional. This is the first album recorded in POLIN Museum.

HUGH HOPPER MONSTER BAND :: French Tour 1974

Shortlived Monster Band was probably first HH's attempt to work with two bass format, what he did most succesfully many years later with Hughscore. The band sounds strong on Paris recording and also on unknown piece from Bordeaux, pairing of Elton Dean and Lol Cohxill works very well. Rest of audience recording from Poitiers I am sharing for posterity only (as it was seeded alltogether on Dime by our freind Propylaen in 2o12), because the amount of backround noise on these is really boring. First 4 recordings went through my mastering with much better result. Also included is single track of Paris FM recording from different source, which has some damage throughout, but is more complete and clean than Propylaen's version.
