Semprini Records are proud to present the first solo album by Ramachandra Borcar.
The album consists of extended and reworked material from the original soundtrack to the award winning documentary "Regular Or Super", a film by Joseph Hillel and Patrick Demers on the works of German architect Mies van der Rohe. The electronic-jazz score has already gained notoriety amongst both film and music critics alike.
The score was performed by Ramachandra and his new ensemble "The Stacked Deck", consisting of over a dozen of Canada's top jazz musicians. The recordings were done using vintage microphones and recording gear to give it a late 50's early 60's Blue Note Records' sound and the arrangements combine the cinematic atmosphere of John Barry and Henry Mancini.
With the addition of subtle electronics to the retro sounding arrangements, Steel and Glass is a unique contribution to the electronic-jazz scene. The album also features an instrumental samba version of the Ramasutra track The Losing Hand. With the melodies and musicianship to please lovers of classic jazz and the ambience to captivate the more adventurous listeners, the CD takes it's audience on a trip through time and the steel and glass towers of one of the world's greatest architects.
