Dear friends,
Here’s a roundup of the latest Iapetus / Unsung Productions news!
MIKE OLDFIELD'S "ISLANDS"
Lee Fletcher and Markus Reuter, together with frequent collaborator Lisa Fletcher, (all of whom collectively recorded last year’s acclaimed ‘Faith in Worthless Things’ album) have produced a distinctive cover of the Mike Oldfield song ‘Islands’. Aside from the trio’s own performances the recording features guest players Tony Levin (Peter Gabriel, King Crimson, David Bowie), Tim Motzer (David Sylvian), Alan Burton (Baka Beyond), Tobias Reber (CENTROZOON), and The Quohren Quartet. Long-term Oldfield associate Simon Heyworth (co-producer of Tubular Bells) has mastered this new version at his Super Audio Mastering facility in Devon, UK.
“Having been a lifelong fan of Mike’s music - which has greatly influenced my own - it’s a real pleasure for me to work on this special song in the year of his 60th birthday.” (Markus Reuter)
‘Islands’ is available for high quality download exclusively via Lee’s Bandcamp store, (also accessible via http://iapetus-store.com).

MARKUS REUTER'S TODMORDEN 513 PREMIERE VIDEO + PLEDGE CAMPAIGN
Finally for this month here’s a video link that contains a 14 minute excerpt of Markus Reuter’s ‘Todmorden 513’ as performed by the Colorado Chamber Orchestra in April:

This is not yet the final mixed / mastered version that will be released, but it gives those who were unable to attend the performance a tantalizing glimpse of what is to come!
The PledgeMusic campaign for ‘TM513’ is almost over, but you can still help by “liking”, sharing and commenting directly on the YouTube video page. We're currently promoting the piece to other orchestras and your visible support will help raise its profile and show people that there’s an audience for this kind of work…
