various: nonplace soundtracks vol 2

This is the second edition of instrumental soundtracks, composed and edited for film or television companies, tagged (on CD sleeve) and conducted conveniently to provoke absorption. All pieces were produced by Burnt Friedman and/or Hayden Chisholm as part of sessions with The Embassadors and Friedman's score recording-sessions with contributions from The Embassadors, Root70 (playing The Nu Dub Players), Hayden Chisholm, Flanger, Daniel Dodd-Ellis, and Friedman's 90s outlet, Drome. It's not only a wild mixture of various jazz-centered quality tunes, but a continuously surprising assembly of sound substance under extremely different musical idioms. You hear compassion and anger, vulnerability and strength, but deepest of all, perhaps, a sadness that would be almost unendurable if it were not examined and transformed, somehow, into beauty. File under: instrumental soundtracks, golden-era jazz, outernational, magic realism, electronica, commercials. Also features Joseph Suchy.
