AGF & Craig Armstrong - Orlando

Craig Armstrong, a Scottish composer of modern orchestral music, electronica and film scores and AGF (Antye Greie) collaborate again. Armstrong's score for William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet earned him a BAFTA  Award for Achievement in Film Music and an Ivor Novello Award. His composition for Baz Luhrmann's musical Moulin Rouge! earned him the 2001 American Film Institute's composer of the Year award, a Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score and a BAFTA Award. Armstrong was awarded a Grammy Award for Best Original Score in 2004 for the biopic Ray.  AGF is a digital songwriter, sound composer and poet and has released 20 long player records and numerous collaborations under such aliases as AGF/Delay (with Vladislav Delay), Greie Gut Fraktion (with Gudrun Gut), and The Lappetites Orlando - the CD: Field recordings and recordings of classical Cello, voice and digital processing are the key elements of this work. The music is lush, clever and beautiful, the combination of Armstrong's melodic and cultural strength, and Greie's delicately voiced electronic inventiveness working like a dream.
