Vladislav Delay Quartet:
Finnish experimental artist Sasu Ripatti, most often known as Vladislav Delay, has put together a new group called the Vladislav Delay Quartet, with a self-titled debut album due out in May 2011.
Ripatti has always been a man of many projects, producing on his own as Vladislav Delay, Luomo, Uusitalo and Sistol, with each guise differing greatly in style. Not much is known about the sound of his new group, but it has at least a few things in common with the Moritz von Oswald Trio: both are released through Honest Jon's Records and feature an electro-acoustic ensemble with Ripatti on percussion.
Other members of the line-up are Sähko mainstay Mika Vainio, who handles electronics and processing, and live instrumentalists Derek Shirley and Lucio Capece (the latter of whom appeared on the Vladislav Delay's 2009 album "Tummaa"). Those two play double bass, bass clarinet and soprano sax.
The album is mixed and produced by Ripatti himself. Artwork is arranged by Will Bankhead, with an original piece by Katharina Immekus.
The Color of Pomegranates (Armenian: Նռան գույնը, Nran guyne) is a 1968 film directed by Sergei Parajanov and is a biography of the Armenian ashug Sayat Nova (King of Song) that attempts to reveal the poet's life visually and poetically rather than literally. The film depicts the poet's coming of age, discovery of the female form, falling in love, entering a monastery and dying, all framed through both Sergei Parajanov's imagination and Sayat Nova's poems. Actress Sofiko Chiaureli notably plays six roles in the film, both male and female.
