Conti masterfully weaves music and narrative entrancing the listener and blending modern and ancient sensibilities. Beautifully crafted, peaceful, unpretentious yet powerful, Conti has once again shown his versatility by creating a work of deep emotion that will be undoubtedly welcomed by his audience. This release, featuring the talents of award winning artist Ann Licater, is the next step in Conti s cultural journey which has positioned him as one of the most innovative talents in New Age/World music today. A princess, a rose, and a quest for the unattainable. Faced with the prospect of an undesirable marriage, a princess devises a plan: the man she will agree to marry must profess his love by finding the impossible... a blue rose. Knowing such a rose does not exist in nature, the princess rests, confident that she has escaped marriage and is in control of her own destiny. But destiny has other plans and the unattainable rose - the impossible love - suddenly manifests and her heart is swept away.

RIO ACIMA album from Ulisses Rocha

Brazilian guitarist Ulisses Rocha has made a name for himself not only as a musician, but also as a composer, arranger, and educator. His style is very unique. His music is harmonically sophisticated, technically challenging and usually easy on the ear. As diversified as his early influences, his career has followed an interesting path. He has arranged recordings for many Brazilian singers. He was also part of the Grupo D'Alma in the 70's, a guitar trio that is said to have influenced Al diMeola, John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia to start playing together. His recordings are very eclectic and not tied to the Brazilian tradition of Choros and other musical genres forged on the guitar over the last 100 years. Instead, Ulisses and other musicians of his generation were also influenced by pop music which has translated in a rich addition to Brazilian music for the guitar. We have added several tracks from the album RIO ACIMA to the RADIOnuages playlist.

Paul Vens Biography

In his early years as a child, Paul discovered the magic of nature and started looking for ways to express these experiences. When he was ten years old, he played his first chords on a selfmade wooden guitar. 
Between 1980/1990 he made his first three LP’s and in 1991 recordcompany Oreade/Warner offered him a contract. He made three albums in these years: “Promise”, “Aquarius” and “Son to the Father”. 
Very special is the way he creates silence between the notes.
The longing for pure freedom of creativity finally pushed him in the direction of his own independent musiclabel.

RADIO nuages has added tracks from Isadar's RED

Wikipedia Bio

The seven intricate selections contained on Red have been added to the RADIO nuages playlist. Reviwer's indicate the selections defy genre categorization. Although the music throughout has strong influences and elements borrowed from Classical, New Age, and most particularly - Jazz, it is neither of these genres. The album instead pushes forward the idea to categorize Isadar as being his own genre and specific brand of solo piano.

We have added selections from Award-winning Michael Brant DeMaria's The Maiden of Stonehenge to our RADIOnuages playlist. It is a musical soundtrack to an original theatrical play of the same title co-written by Michael DeMaria and Stephen C. Lott.
