Piano: Fryderyk Chopin (12 Studi op. 10);
Violino: Niccolò Paganini (24 Capricci op.1);
Violoncello: David Popper (40 Etudes op. 73).

What have these elements in common?
They are the three most important pieces for instruments in solo literature, the composers who, with their compositions, came closest to going beyond the impossible. Demanding, insurmountable challenge.

In what way do they differ? Chopin, Paganini have for decades been in pianists and violinists concert playlists, while Popper is an object of study and curiosity only of violoncello players: his music involves a high margin of error and too modern a language, bound to the late-Romantic era of Wagner. Enough to hide such precious inventions, harmonic situations of melody and sonority, from the public's enjoyment.

Vito Paternoster has taken these studies and made concert pieces out of them. A challenge, some small readjustments and they've become not studies, but music. Alive music.

This is the first complete recording, don't miss it!

The album title express the real entity of the album, it is the lymph of the artist.

The tracks explore many music genres, each one produced based on the feeling of the moment. There are chillout tracks, to express the beautiful intimate moments, where each one of us needs a corner to relax, other tracks reveal the dreams, the hopes hidden sometimes inside us.

A beautiful listening pleasure, for lovers of instrumental music and not. Let the music flow in your body like the lymph that feeds, protects and helps your human being. Anyone could be attracted by the tracks, there are melodic content, groovy beats, beautiful sounds, many musical influences from a variety of genres, perfectly mixed together to express the essence of this album. Have a listen, probably you will be caught.

Lymph is the first album release on Magnatune by Nuform, a musical project by Italian producer Simone Mencarelli.

The music on "Nomad" is ambient, chilled out and downbeat at its best - psychedelic and mystical.

Wide, crystal clear pad sounds mix with driving bass, laid back beats, minor melody lines and many natural effects create unique complex soundscapes.

After a long stressful day, in the chill out area, in a traffic jam or just as background music - on "Nomad" you'll find the right sounds to calm down and relax. It's just pure enjoyment of music.

With "Nomad" Steve Crock (aka "Mystic Crock") records his debut album as a solo artist.

Mostly dealing with death, this EP tried to address the reality of an afterlife and how that affects the way we live, the way we treat other people and the way we treat ourselves.

These songs were selected from a full length EP I put out with my band, The Great Upset, in 2007. After the band folded I decided I wanted these songs to live on.

Live performance by Kourosh Dini:

1. "Moonlit Rocks" - A very relaxing piano/synth combo starts the performance. It's the only real ambient piece of the entire work.

2. "Moon Patrol" - Fun synthesizer playing with echoes, arpeggios, and interweaving melodies.

3. "Startled by Dawn" - Usually a quietly played piece, this version finds much more energy and power before drifting off after a collision into the moments where the notes begin to fray. Written in A Aeolian mode.

4. "Alight - Burden" - First part is a strong, brazen piano and clear structures. The second part transitions to synthesizer. Grungy with echoes, some ethereal, some crushing. F Aeolian mode.

5. "Unwritten - Unsung" - A piece that has been evolving for at least 20 years now. C Aeolian mode. Unwritten is the first of pieces in which I transitioned from writing by way of notation into writing through an iteration of improvisation. Neither is right or wrong, though I do seem to have a readier access to the sense of play in the live medium.

6. "Dandelion (Synth)" - More recent work written in Bb ionioan mode. Generally, I play this as a pleasant piano piece. Here, I decided to go with the synth, having built its momentum throughout the performance and wanting to return to it before wrapping up.
