It\u2019s a collaboration between Emily Davidson, a classically trained baroque cellist, and brother Chris Davidson, a music producer who makes his living remixing video game music.<\/p>\n<p>The brother\/sister duo fuses two opposite sides sides of the music industry to create a work that reflects both their passions. Emily comes from rigorous training, receiving her Bachelor\u2019s in Cello Performance and her Master\u2019s in Early Music Performance. Emily\u2019s experience in historical performance inspired her to seek new ways to share this repertoire to a broader audience. \u201cI think the more we explore music, the more we see how much of it is the same,\u201d says Emily. \u201cThe more I study baroque music, the more I find parallels with present day. It\u2019s remarkable that something created 300 years ago can still convey a human experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Chris worked for years as a sound engineer in a recording studio in Ithaca, NY. After moving to Philadelphia, he began DJing as a way to continue working with music. An avid gamer from childhood, Chris was attracted to the music of video games, and began remixing under the pseudonym Dj CUTMAN. \u201cI\u2019ve always loved the classical feel of old video game music,\u201d Chris explains. \u201cWith a rising popularity of electronic music today, it\u2019s cool to hear some of the best songs were written 20 years ago by composers working on video games.\u201d Chris owns the online record label GameChops, which specializes in reimagining classic video game soundtracks through remixing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/oldstyle.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>OldStyle<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0includes both 17th and 18th century selections, multiple nationalities (Italian, French, German), high Baroque composers like Bach and Vivaldi, and other favorites like Couperin and Ortiz. The album highlights the differences of these genres by arranging in various styles like pop, house, trap, and hip hop. Chris\u2019 video game influences can be heard as the 8-bit chiptune sounds ornamenting the baroque arrangements.<\/p>\n<p>The album is available for immediate download at <a href=\"http:\/\/oldstyle.bandcamp.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/oldstyle.bandcamp.com<\/a> and will be making its way to iTunes in the coming weeks<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My sister, baroque cellist Emily Davidson, and I teamed up to reimagine her early music repertoire as Electronic Dance Music.\u00a0Below is more info via our press release.
