Ephemera

by Ehsan Gelsi

supported by

cTrix A wonderful combination of organic and rounded sounds in wonderful harmony. Get taken on an intergalactic adventure into melody, lush aural landscapes and a vast wall of sound. The harmonic-series stops for no-one!
Favorite track: Discovery.

Absolute Movement Ehsan is an amazingly inspiring artist, especially when he and Ben Crook collaborate. Pure magic

Tom Coppens Ehsan has made a Tubular Bells for the 21st century, with a myriad of melodic parts and atmospheres that blend into an exhilarating, epic and triumphant musical rollercoaster. Out of this world good.

Mick Rowe As usual , your work conceives a hopefulness that many other contemporary works do not.
Well Done.

Josh Reineke Really enjoying the YouTube videos. Trying to coax similar sounds out of my gear! Glad to support your efforts. The vinyl just showed up yesterday. Thanks! Favorite track: Exploration.

about

Melbourne electronic composer Ehsan Gelsi presents EPHEMERA - a spectacular new work composed for the Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ, Moog, Buchla, analogue electronics and live percussion.

Ehsan Gelsi has spent the last 20 years immersed in the world of synthesizers, as a performer, educator and specialist. Crossing genres from techno and experimental to hip hop and electronica, Ehsan’s musical scope is super diverse and has made him a valuable addition to many projects – having toured the world and Australia several times. Ehsan has performed alongside Snoop Dogg, Pendulum, Calvin Harris, Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia and many other global acts, and has performed at Glastonbury, Big Day Out and numerous festivals.

Gelsi’s grand organ composition EPHEMERA is a groundbreaking hybrid progressive work showcasing the mammoth grandeur of the ten thousand pipe acoustic organ in full flight whilst exploring the extent of the instrument’s electronic sequencing capabilities.

The result is a spectacular mix of grand organ fetishism, progressive soundtrack exploration and ecstatic analogue electronica.

The music on this album was commissioned by the City of Melbourne to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Melbourne Town Hall

File under: grand organ / progressive soundtrack / ecstatic electronica

Equipment: Melbourne Town Hall Grand Organ, Moog System 55, Moog Matriarch, Novation Summit, Buchla 200e, Eurorack Modular

What an amazing album and I can't believe it took me 6 years to find it! I really like when a band pushes the prog envelope. This covers both electronic and progressive rock. Absolute gem of an album! Gideon

This record has reminders of earlier Tangerine Dream albums from the mid 70s. This album is a fresh interpretation of Berlin School music. James Wallis Martin
