This article details the complete oeuvre of Canadian composer Daniel Vahnke. Between 1990 and 1996, Vahnke released six full-length studio albums both independently pressed and through a record label. Five of them were released as Vampire Rodents albums and one was ostensibly a solo album titled '' Papa Woody'', which released under the name Ether Bunny. Vahnke formed Vampire Rodents with keyboardist Victor Wulf in 1989 to serve as an outlet for their sound collage experiments. In 1990, they debuted with '' War Music'', which was issued independently by their own label V.R. Productions and showcased their irreverent approach to industrial rock. Their second record, ''Premonition'', was released in 1992 and adopted a more experimental sound, with violinist/cellist Andrea Akastia helping the duo to expand their musical pallet. Based on the creative success of that album, Vampire Rodents were signed to Re-Constriction Records. '' Lullaby Land'', released in 1993, became the grou ...

Vampire Rodents
Vampire Rodents was a sound collage and experimental music ensemble based out of Phoenix, Arizona, although its core members originally came from Canada. The creative nucleus of the project comprised vocalist and composer Daniel Vahnke and keyboardist Victor Wulf. Daniel Vahnke was primarily influenced by 20th-century classical and avant-garde music, whereas Wulf drew from new age, ambient and synth-driven pop music. Their work also dabbled in big band, bebop, musique concrète, industrial, electro, Indian classical and Greek music. Vampire Rodents debuted with '' War Music'' (1991), an album that showcased their knack for dark humor and experimentation with the pop and industrial music format. '' Premonition'' (1992), recorded with violinist and cellist Andrea Akastia, revealed the band's artistic ambitious and interest in electroacoustic and ambient music. Considered by some to be the group's magnum opus, '' Lullaby Land'' (1993) further expanded the sound with the inclu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bebop
Bebop or bop is a style of jazz developed in the early-to-mid-1940s in the United States. The style features compositions characterized by a fast tempo, complex chord progressions with rapid chord changes and numerous changes of key, instrumental virtuosity, and improvisation based on a combination of harmonic structure, the use of scales and occasional references to the melody. Bebop developed as the younger generation of jazz musicians expanded the creative possibilities of jazz beyond the popular, dance-oriented swing music-style with a new "musician's music" that was not as danceable and demanded close listening.Lott, Eric. Double V, Double-Time: Bebop's Politics of Style. Callaloo, No. 36 (Summer, 1988), pp. 597–605 As bebop was not intended for dancing, it enabled the musicians to play at faster tempos. Bebop musicians explored advanced harmonies, complex syncopation, altered chords, extended chords, chord substitutions, asymmetrical phrasing, and intricate melodie ...
