Recorded in August 2017 at Acadia Recording Company by Todd Hutchison, and mastered by Pat Keane at Pat Keane Audio Mastering, the material on this album was two years in the making, and brings the listener through a fascinating sonic exploration of tone, texture, style, orchestration, and form.  Artwork by Keri Kimura.

 

Mark Tipton & Les Sorciers Perdus in the press:

“Mark Tipton’s “spacE x p a n s i o n” is a jazz piece at heart, with Tipton’s attractive and evocative offstage solo trumpet line as the dominant musical element…” (Allan Kozinn, Portland Press Herald; former music critic and culture writer for the New York Times)

“Tipton, a trumpeter, led his ensemble, Les Sorciers Perdus, in varied accompaniments to [Alan] Brooks’ readings, which had a rhythmic quality that placed the lines of text snugly into the musical texture. The most striking of the four movements, “Aurora,” had trumpet and percussion moves that called to mind Stravinsky’s “L’Histoire du Soldat.” (Allan Kozinn, Portland Press Herald)

“[Mark’s new Metropolis score is]…not to be missed…one of the great masterpieces of moviemaking, accompanied with the inspired phantasmagoric music of Les Sorciers Perdus…I saw their show at SPACE Gallery last year and it was a complete knockout!” (Dave Wade, WMPG)

“Tipton’s new [silent film] score…feels a little jazzy, a little soulful, but never old.” (Ray Routhier, Portland Press Herald)
