Can the dualism of life, nature and art be expressed in pure music?
This is the question the multi-talented composer Flint Juventino Beppe
- formerly known as Fred Jonny Berg - has set out to answer. The album
Remote Galaxy is a journey in time and space, a journey given meaning
by the album's music and philosophy. The music is uncompromisingly
honest, with a genuine power of its own. Using well-known acoustic
technology, the composer takes us to some unusual and, for most of us,
unknown places. Remote Galaxy continues the journey of 2L's Grammy
nominated album Flute Mystery, and again the Philharmonia Orchestra is
conducted by Vladimir Ashkenazy to interpret these adventurous scores.
The composer's deep spiritual interest in nature, philosophy and space
is as central in the universe of Remote Galaxy as it was in Flute
Mystery. Beppe's music leaves a unique fingerprint in the artistic
world: there is quite simply nothing like it. The individual and
inventive nature of his orchestral works demands a rich palette of
instruments and an extended use of woodwinds, brass and organ. As solo
instruments, the intense but delicate sound of the clarinet, the scope
of the flute's range of expression and the special characteristics of
the rarely used viola da gamba make for an inimitable atmosphere
captured in 2L's innovative surround sound technology. With the
introduction of height channels, acoustic reflections create a natural
sound presence originating from both around and above the listener. |
