Unquiet Music LTD has released a new concept album titled\u00a0\u201cIn The Name Of… (A Prayer For Our Times)\u201d\u00a0and features Trey Gunn of King Crimson, Markus Reuter of Stick Men and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric L\u2019Ep\u00e9e of Yang among others.
The overall spirit behind this album is rock \u2018n\u2019 roll – keeping a popular access to an uncompromised way of approaching things. However, it also has the ambition of providing something different for adventurous ears.
So the styles of music used are diverse, and influences can be traced from\u00a0concrete music, minimalism, ambient, electronic, progressive rock, contemporary classical\u2026 A few names can be cited as inspirators: Olivier Messiaen, Steve Reich, Arvo P\u00e4rt, Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Peter Gabriel, John Zorn\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unquiet Music Ltd is meant to be self-explanatory:<\/strong>\u2026 Since we are living in unquiet times\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2026 Since we need to pass through commercial paths to reach each other and the world\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Says JP, \u201cThe idea is to create an uncompromising sound, basically something that would not be heard anywhere else \u2013 at least as such, since we all only recycle\u2026The form is a musical mandala in 4 pieces, based on the traditional prayer \u201cIn the name of the father etc\u201d\u2026 The music should really be considered as a single piece, a prayer, a vessel to be embarked in a travel through our modest but also ambitious condition.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u00a0 \u201cA crazy and extraterrestrial music! Check it out!\u201d – Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric L\u2019Ep\u00e9e<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unquiet Music LTD has released a new concept album titled\u00a0\u201cIn The Name Of… (A Prayer…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14680,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,2],"tags":[114,125,1490,1489],"class_list":["post-14679","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-music-news","category-news","tag-king-crimson","tag-prog","tag-trey-gunn","tag-unquiet-music-ltd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14679","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14679"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14679\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14681,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14679\/revisions\/14681"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14680"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14679"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14679"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14679"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Unquiet Music Ltd is both a concept and a company funded in 2019 \u00a0by \u00a0JP Rossi. JP grew up in the late 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s, and founded different bands by the end of the 80\u2019s, early 90\u2019s, inspired by both British epic and dark rock and French \u2018chanson\u2019, bands such as Genesis, Simple Minds, Joy Division, and in France Alain Bashung, Alain Souchon etc\u2026 He had a notable act in the 90\u2019s called \u201cL\u2019Air de Rien\u201d with the drummer Karim Ziad, and guitarist Khliff Miziallaoua, from the then \u2018rai\u2019 scene (Cheb Khaled, Cheb Mami) who contributed to the album as well. In the mid 90\u2019s the band split and it was only 20 years later that JP returned to the music, with a wealth of musical education and worldwide experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The music was elaborated as a tentative transcription of aural dreams. The process developed over a couple of years, and was only possible through the patient collection of the dreams remnants into a digital audio workstation. Some of the themes needed live performances, and musicians gradually integrated the project. An important step was passed when Markus Reuter joined for the production by the end of 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a full length video to support the music. It is not a \u2018contemplative\u2019 work in any way, it rather aims at creating a story in parallel with the music. It should add a different and hopefully interesting dimension to the experience.\u00a0There are also close to 2 hours of demo work, some quite advanced, some quite different, that Unquiet Music Ltd intends to release gradually, including bonuses for fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Text review by Dann Chinn<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019m glad that I live in a world where music and sound art like this are a reality. So much detail, a lifetime of creativity incorporated into an insane long-form opus. This is the musical place where ideas and idealism meet. You all should treat it with respect\u201d – Markus Reuter\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor folks who are into stretching their ears beyond where they have ever gone before, you really need to check out this recording from Unquiet Music Ltd. It is strikingly strange, imaginative and superbly executed. Electronica meets Messiaen meets…Gentle Giant? Magma? Stockhausen? Borge? Lynch? Cortazar? Everything in this work sounds like it could have come from another planet. This is an extra-terrestrial composition\/work.\u201d – Trey Gunn<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
