Art music circa 1600 was morphing from a deeply cerebral expression of counterpoint into a form that featured more clearly delineated melody and bass lines, and the dance forms were rivaling the more abstract fantasias in sophistication, and in fact dominate the French lute literature. The French in particularly, at this time, were in love with the sound of the instrument and changed its tuning to exploit it and match to the new musical forms.
Francois Dufault was among the first to experiment in these new tunings, settling later on the distinctive d-minor tuning (the top six courses of the lute sound a d minor chord) that came to define the Baroque lute, and is heard on this recording. Esaias Reusner, the Younger may have been Dufault's pupil, and certainly was his imitator, although one can also hear clear evolution even as he draws inspiration from his teacher's style. Both composers capture the subtle, elusive, and improvisatory feel of the art of the lute in 17th century France.

Description:
Hip-hop-infused, electronic chill music... with a dash of everything else!
A Future Long Ago is a collection tracks from my archives that are seemingly
disparate in sound individually but yet cohesive when played as a whole.
The songs on this project accurately reflect my eclectic tastes in music. You'll
hear everything from hip-hop ("Early AM") to chillwave ("Dandylion") to
downtempo ("Lightning") to 80s pop-rock ("87"). The result is a musical journey
through the various electronic genres that continue to greatly shape my sound.
Red Sky Lullaby's 4th album features Electronica, Glitch and Ambient styles intertwined with Modern Classical harmonic arrangements to infuse emotion into every track. There is a greater focus on melody, harmony and a complex minimalism than on the previous more beat laden excursions of the album "Burst".
18 months in the making, the new album blends analog synths and samplism with warmer textures and sounds from real acoustic instruments in real spaces.
Very Own Special Day is electronic music with a human soul.
