[Philippe Petit]

Hello and thanx in advance for your attention,

We are very pleased to introduce you to a new signing: Leo Abrahams.  
Though a newcomer on our label, he already released a solo CD on Just  
Music and is one of the most sought-after British guitarist, also  
playing with Brian Eno (appearing on several albums), Ed Harcourt  
with whom he has toured and recorded for 6 years, and film composer  
David Holmes (Oceans 12 and the award-winning Code 46). Leo Abrahams  
has also collaborated with artists as diverse as Rachid Taha, Paul  
Simon, Grace Jones, Nick Cave, Roxy Music and Imogen Heap among many  
others.

Secondly, still introducing new acts and established ones, the long  
awaited new volume of our series documenting contemporary electronic  
musics is now ready.
BiP_HOp Generation v. 8 offers 79 minutes which illustrate perfectly  
the contemporary alliance of acoustic instruments and digital  
technologies in music

rhythms. His music is published on Leaf records.

times a stormy, cinematic, or contemporary atmosphere.


LEO ABRAHAMS : scene memory [bleep 33]
www.leoabrahams.com
A series of contemporary textural studies for the electric guitar.  
Moody and atmospheric; broodingly melancholic yet melodic; radical  
but accessible. The tracks were constructed by playing the guitar  
through chains of laptop effects in real time, rather than  
manipulating the sounds after the performance. Partially improvised,  
it contains no edits. Therefore, an air of tension is maintained even  
throughout the most static and bucolic pieces.
