'Rhythmes Contemporains'
(CS-03) Recorded in 1973/74 in France with 45 musicians! Original came out only on library record MONTPARNASSE 2000 MP36 and was never
generally available.
Extract from notes:
'When I heard Gilles playing Xenos Cosmos a few years ago I was stunned. I walked around the room repeating: this is a masterpiece, this is a masterpiece! I was amazed to find a Yugoslavian musician that I had never heard of. It took a while to solve the mystery. Janko Nilovic is a pianist, poet and composer extraordinare from Montenegro who has lived in France since 1960. He is one of those musicians who devote themselves to music fanatically. He isolated himself from the rest of the world to create his own universe in a Parisian suburb, consisting of his instruments, local musicians and composers. At least 10 hours a day of experimenting and searching for the right composition resulted in a great number of published works, but most of them are on library labels not available for sale.
His opus stretches from Classical, Jazz and Funk to Pop, Psyche and Easy Listening. He touches all these styles in a characteristic way. Nilovic - poet as well as musician - creates poetic musical images by bending the edges of styles, cross-pollinating them. Janko recorded many albums for the MONTPARNASSE 2000 library label which specialises in music for Radio and T.V., musical illustrators and Film Music clubs. Rythmes Contemporains is my favourite from that series. It was recorded in 1972-73 in the Paris studio "Des Dames Et
Hoche".
This magnificent project gathered 45 of the then best French musicians to be conducted by Nilovic,. He composed all the songs and made all the arrangements. All the compositions are his perceptions of the surrounding environment: Black On White Ground represents the contrasts of modern life. Giant Locomotion is a description of a big city, with all its lights, noise, colours, wide avenues and 24 hour life. Xenos Cosmos is a homage to space heroes; Underground Session evokes jams in the corridors of the Paris Metro; Movement Aquatiles is about nature's metamorphoses; The Savage Rose reflectsLatin American colours. All these musical paintings are vivid and uplifting. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.'
