Cam Butler - Save My Soul

Filed under: Live Music Venues, folk music, Tours — site admin @ 5:51 pm

Cam Butler - Save My Soul
Save My Soul (Symphony No. 3) is the follow up album to Cam’s album of 2008, Dark Times (Symphony No. 2). Featuring a true symphonic lineup of a 23 piece string section (conducted by Benjamin Northey), orchestral harp, timpani and percussion, drums, acoustic guitars and solo electric guitar, the result is the finest example yet of Cam’s orchestral vision to combine modern electric guitar techniques and sound with string orchestras.

With a timeless, quasi-modal sound, the music of Save My Soul is deliberately written in related keys - A minor / A major, D minor - and has a basic 3/4 pulse through each of the 5 movements or tracks. With Save My Soul, Cam wanted to write an album that was gentle and uncomplicated but still passionate and emotionally gripping.

SIVAN PERWER on tour 2012/13

SIVAN PERWER
One of his childhood memories is that the whole neighborhood used to demand from him to sing for them in frequent occasions: “Sivan please sing for us, we’ll give you candies and sweets…” The people around him really loved his singing and he grew up with this encouraging atmosphere. By the time he was in high school people were asking him to make records. At that time this was not in his mind; he was involved with furthering his studies to help his Kurdish people. Besides, recordings could only be done in Turkish, not in his native language Kurdish. Yet he kept singing.
