Help for Haiti! - January 15, 2010 ENGLISH: We just made a contribution to aid Partners in Health's earthquake relief efforts. 2-3 million people have been affected, will you please make a donation today? http://act.pih.org/earthquake?source=earthquake&subsource=taf A major earthquake centered just 10 miles from Port-au-Prince has devastated sections of the city and knocked out telephone communications throughout the country. Partners In Health staff in Boston and Haiti are working to collect as much information as possible about the conditions on the ground, the relief efforts taking shape, and all relevant logistics issues in order to respond efficiently and effectively to the most urgent needs in the field. At the moment, PIH’s Chief Medical Officer is on her way to Haiti, where she will meet with Zanmi Lasante leadership and head physicians, who are already working to ensure PIH’s coordinated relief efforts leveraging the skills of more than 120 doctors and nearly 500 nurses and nursing assistants who work at Zanmi Lasante’s sites. Please make a contribution of whatever you can to Partner in Health's relief efforts: http://act.pih.org/earthquake?source=earthquake&subsource=taf Thank you.

| Secret Gardens - nuovo CD | guthorm, August 08/21/09, 2009 |
|
|
Secret Gardens - CD from 6.99 US$! ENGLISH: Secret Gardens is, as always, an ambitious project made of different influences. The Wimshurst’s Machine tries always to make more than just “a good track”, always works in the album as an artistic opera in itself and here we are: Secret Gardens melts the sexy, tasty chill out mood typical of the band with two major suites of tracks who are like two symphonie” made of different sounds: “Moonshadows” is an ambient suite in 5 parts, where the story is told in a more “Brian Eno style” than the opening tracks. If also in previous albums the classical influences where appearing at times, here the last 7 tracks of the album are, as a matter of fact, classical or heavily influenced by the classical music style. “Secret Garden” is a suite who melts all the works the band made with a classical taste. Most of those tracks are excerpt from movies or documentaries where they were used as soundtrack (that TWM scored of course). 'Secret Gardens' is now available for sale from 6.99 US$ at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/TheWimshurstsMachine11 ITALIANO: Siamo orgogliosi di presentare "Secret Gardens", il quarto CD in studio dei The Wimshurst's Machine. Il progetto, come tutti quelli dei TWM, è ambizioso ed unisce alle "solite" armonie jazzeggianti etno-chillout ed alle colaborazioni prestigiose (Corrado Rossi, Sally Cooper, William O'Connell & Harry Tarnecky) anche due "suite" che sono progetti in sé e per sé: "Moonshadows" (ambient suite in 5 parti, in stile indubbiamente influenzato dal grande Brian Eno) e "Secret Garden" una suite in 7 parti pesantemente influenzata dalla musica classica. Gran parte dei brani di queste suite sono tratti da colonne sonore firmate The Wimshurst's Machine (come sapete molto attivi in questo ambito). Venti brani totali, 120 minuti di musica per un progetto che sebbene dominato dalle atmosfere dell'ambient contiene classica, world, rock e jazz. 'Secret Gardens' è disponibile per la vendita a 6.99 US$ (circa 5 euro) su: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/TheWimshurstsMachine11 PLAYLIST: 1-Cimmerian Rhapsody 4:35 2-Somewhere in Time 4:21 3-Pegasus (with Corrado Rossi) 4:51 4-Pain in Pleasure (with Sally Cooper) 4:58 5-Missing You 3:55 6-Low Tide (with Corrado Rossi) 4:43 7-Moonshadows pt.1 - Renaissance 4:48 8-Moonshadows pt.2 - Hypnosis 2:16 9-Moonshadows pt.3 - Meet 5:35 10-Moonshadows pt.4 - Element 5:31 11-Moonshadows pt.5 - Hangoon 4:42 12-Beneath the Surface (with W.O'Connell and H.Tarnecky) 4:26 13-Gilgamesh and the Tree of Huluppu 6:03 14-Secret Garden pt.1 - Prelude (fantasia per Flauto) 0:46 15-Secret Garden pt.2 - Boris the Barbarian (main theme) 3:13 16-Secret Garden pt.3 - A Sicilo 2:30 17-Secret Garden pt.4 - Tristan and Isolde 2:33 18-Secret Garden pt.5 - Suite 4 Bouree 1 for trumpet 2:56 19-Secret Garden pt.6 - Zadok the Priest 2:58 20-Secret Garden pt.7 - Grand Finale 0:30 » Read more...

| TWM will support "Partners in Health" | guthorm, March 03/18/07, 2007 |
|
TWM will support "Partners in Health" - TWM supporterà "Partners in Health" -18 March 2007 ENGLISH: While several bandmembers do support a non-profit organization for distance adoption of Madacascar's children (with personal donations), the band (as band) also decided to give the money raised with the CD sales for Charity (and precisely 50% of the money raised out of expenses), precisely, and support the Partners in Health project. The PIH Vision: At its root, their mission is both medical and moral. It is based on solidarity, rather than charity alone. When a person in Peru, or Siberia, or rural Haiti falls ill, PIH uses all of the means at their disposal to make them well—from pressuring drug manufacturers, to lobbying policy makers, to providing medical care and social services. Whatever it takes. On internet: www.pih.org ITALIANO: Mentre diversi membri della band supportano con le loro donazioni un'organizzazione no-profit che si occupa di adozione a distanza di bambini del Madagascar, la band in quanto tale ha deciso di aumentare gli sforzi e di destinare una buona parte dei proventi dei CD pubblicati (per la precisione il 50% degli incassi, salvo le spese) ad un'organizzazione no-profit che si occupa di curare le malattie infettive nel Terzo Mondo: Partners in Health. La loro missione è sia medica che morale. E' basata sulla solidarietà oltre che ssolo sulla carità. Quando una persona in Perù, o in Siberia, o nelle zone rurali di Haiti si ammala, P.I.H. usa tutto ciò che ha a disposizione per farli stare bene (incluse pressioni sulle case farmaceutiche e quelle sulla politica), per provvedere alle cure mediche ed ai servizi sociali. Qualunque cosa richieda. Su internet: www.pih.org » Read more... (comments: 1) |
