Editorial Review:Album Description:Long awaited follow-up to the best-selling, critically acclaimed Jasun Martz symphony The Pillory.
The Pillory/The Battle is an experimental, eclectic, contemporary classical, progressive, industrial, ambient collectors edition 2 CD set
Millions have heard the work of New York based producer, musician and composer JASUN MARTZ. He has recorded with MICHAEL JACKSON (his keyboard virtuosity on 'Black or White' appears on five of Jackson's multi-gold & platinumCDs); toured with FRANK ZAPPA and helped arrange STARSHIP'S #1 hit 'We Built This City on Rock and Roll' with Grammy winning producer BILL BOTTRELL (Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynn). Martz is also a contemporary artist and is renowned for his raw expressionist paintings and papier-m‰chŽ sculptures of subway passengers painted in New York, Los Angeles, Paris and London. His artwork and sculpture can be seen at JasunMartz.com
The Intercontinental Philharmonic Orchestra and Royal Intercontinental Choir is an international consortium of avant-garde, contemporary classical, rock, industrial, experimental and non-musicians with the common goal of "making a lot of racket." Assembled and led by Jasun Martz, the 115 members of the orchestra recorded their parts for The Pillory/The Battle on virtually every continentÐ in cities in every corner of the globe. Utilizing the highest quality 24-bit digital technology, Martz then imported, manipulated and mixed literally thousands of digital files to create the final work of music. The original cover art is a detail of a drawing created especially for The Pillory releases by French modern master JEAN DUBUFFET

The rock sections are perfectly fused into the overall modern classical nature of the music. Jasun seems so comfortable within all of the realms, and proves that inspiration can be perfectly mated with intelligence and education.
Congrats to Jasun and keeping my fingers crossed for the third in the series ...

One could now use the actual sounds, both of instruments and voices as well as "noises", to mold and create one's music. In the case of the electronic synthesizer, it was believed that it could replicate virtually any audible sound and enable it to be used in a musical way hitherto impossible. So what happened to ...

I have never, ever EVER heard any music and sounds like this before. The music literally grabs a hold of you and will not let go... I am mesmerized by this music!!!
The sounds and noises are brutal and rumbling and amazing... the contemporary classical sections (for a huge, full symphony orchestra) remind me of Stravinsky's Le Sacre du Printemps but MUCH wilder and intense... I think it is impossible to fully describe all that goes on in this music other than it is so, SO stunning and even if ...
