Jeremy Flower biography
Jeremy Flower is a multi-instrumentalist and composer of acoustic and electronic music. His work with electronics has landed him on stage as a guest artist with many Symphonic Orchestras as well as with world-renowned electronic producers in experimental, ambient and minimal techno genres.

He has written music for the feature documentary Animas Perdidas. He is part of DAVID KRAKAUER'S ANCESTRAL GROOVE PROJECT, which explores the heritage of traditional Jewish music through the lens of the modern experience fusing Klezmer with hip-hop, jazz, and house music.

He has collaborated extensively with Argentine-American composer OSVALDO GOLIJOV, helping to create electronic parts for the Grammy-nominated song cycle Ayre (2006) and one-act opera Ainadamar which won two Grammys (2007). Both of these works have been recorded for and released by Deutsche Grammophon. Flower and Golijov also collaborated on the film score for Francis Ford Coppola?s 2007 film, Youth Without Youth, a composition for the opening of WNYC Radio?s new performance space, and the score for Coppola?s 2009 film Tetro, and the film Twixt.

He has released one album of chamber and experimental pop rock called The Real Me in 2016. Currently, Flower is working on a couple children, a recorded song cycle for large chamber ensemble, some Synth-pop, improvised techno music, and building modular synthesizers.

Review by Lewian
Prog Reviewer

4 stars This album is a very pleasant 2016 discovery for me. The cover is a bit misleading, this is certainly not grey and minimalist, rather it is very colorful and passionate (although is has a somewhat melancholic feel). The music on this albums strikes a good balance between emotional and intelligent rock music, some experimentation and surprising twists, haunting melodies, a few heavy elements and a nice chamber influence from the very tasteful and generously used strings. Generally this has a full and powerful sound. I have heard Clara Kihlstedt singing before but I don't think it was ever as good and fitting as here; she may not be quite at the level of Kate Bush or Bjork but comes dangerously close, dreamy and passionate. The songs are mostly on the slow side but the album as a whole is quite dynamic with very quiet atmospheric ballads side by side with more heavy and energetic songs.

The strongest point on the album are probably the compositions; Flowers has a talent for memorable melodies without being simplistic; he manages to make all the changes and variations in the songs sound organic and natural; and furthermore he plays to the strengths of the team, particularly the singer and the violinists (not sure how much influence Kihlstedt had on this; I'd expect her to have a creative impact on something in which she is so strongly involved).

Hmmm, should I give the five stars? A minor quibble would be that I didn't find the rhythm section all that exciting (solid and competent for sure; sound-wise the drumming is pretty good, but still they rather serve the compositions faithfully than sparkling on their own), and in any case an album would probably need a few years to show that it's a real masterpiece, so I leave it at a strong 4 for the moment; that's the price for giving this one an early review.

Thanks to rdtprog for the artist addition.
