Dustin Gledhill Honors Gabriel Fauré’s Centenary with Release of Nocturne No. 6 in D-flat Major

Bronx, NY, August 20, 2024 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Internationally acclaimed pianist Dustin Gledhill, recognized as a prizewinner for his interpretation of French music, releases Gabriel Fauré’s Nocturne No. 6 in D-flat Major in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the composer’s death. Fauré, a significant and often underestimated figure in French piano music, composed this nocturne in 1894. It is widely regarded as one of his most exquisite works for solo piano.

This release is part of a year-long tribute by Gledhill, who continues his homage to Fauré with the release of Fauré’s complete Préludes, Op. 103 on November 4, 2024 – the exact centenary of Fauré’s passing. Nocturne No. 6 was recorded live at Wigmore Hall in London as a result of Gledhill’s first prize at the New Orleans International Piano Competition.

“The 1950’s Fauré recordings of pianist Germaine Thyssen-Valentin opened my mind to the intricate and ‘intoxicating’ world of Fauré’s musical language (quoting one of Fauré’s biggest fans – Marcel Proust). My hope is to contribute to Fauré’s legacy through his wide-ranging piano repertoire, which has the ability to transport the listener to far away corners of the senses. Thanks to the Musical Artists Society of New Orleans and the late Richard Goula for making this Wigmore Hall concert a reality.”

The French novelist Marcel Proust described Fauré’s music as “intoxicating…wafting airy melodies over an unstable harmonic ground, and how familiar chords dissolve into one another in unfamiliar ways.” Proust knew Fauré’s music “well enough to write a three-hundred-page book about it.”

Alongside this nocturne, Gledhill’s upcoming releases will feature other highlights from the Wigmore Hall recital, including Prokofiev’s Sonata No. 4 in C minor, Op. 29.

Dustin Gledhill, known for his versatility, has built a distinguished career as a pianist, composer, songwriter and educator. He has won over twenty international first prizes as a pianist, including special recognition for his interpretation of French music. Dustin collaborates with artists across various disciplines, from modern dance and theater to award-winning synth-pop album. As President of The Bohemians: New York Musicians’ Club, he continues to support the next generation of musicians through concert series and competitions.

SENSANE to Release Debut Vocal Album in October with UK and Indian Artists

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

SENSANE, a Derby producer and DJ, will launch his upcoming album on 22 October 2026 via AHK Global Records, his own record label, according to the announcement. The album combines prominent voices from Panjabi music, new talent from India, and UK artists, marking SENSANE’s debut appearance as a vocalist.

The album follows SENSANE’s long-running mix of Panjabi and Bhangra traditions with folk, hip-hop, R&B, garage and electronic production, a sound he’s built his name on as both a touring DJ and label head. AHK Global Records, which he founded, has previously put out Punjabi-facing projects, including a five-track EP with vocalist Kulvinder Johal that reportedly debuted at number six and was described by some as the first Punjabi album to reach that position on its chart.

"This album brings together the sounds and artists that have shaped me," SENSANE said in the announcement. "I wanted the album to honour the legends, give new voices a platform and show where I’m going next. Putting my own voice on a track is a big moment for me, and I can’t wait for people to hear it."

Details about the complete track listing, collaborators, and SENSANE’s vocal debut track will be revealed before the album drops, according to the statement.

Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether SENSANE’s own vocal debut changes how listeners place him: as a producer stepping forward, or as an artist who’s been building toward this the whole time.

From vault to vision: C’batch reimagines archive recording as ‘Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic’

Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk

C’batch has released “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic,” an instrumental track built from a previously recorded guitar performance that the artist has reshaped into a new piece.

The release continues a pattern in C’batch’s work: revisiting prior work and reimagining it across multiple versions instead of viewing recordings as standalone pieces. Multiple outlets covering the release have noted that this approach — returning to older ideas and giving them new context — has become something of a signature, with this track functioning as the fourth installment under the “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light)” title.

The piece is instrumental, with the guitar serving as the primary voice throughout the piece rather than functioning as one element among vocals or other lead instruments. Coverage of the release has described the guitar as the connective thread of the piece, tying its texture and tone together in a way multiple reviewers have called cinematic — the arrangement building mood and movement without lyrics to guide it.

Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the track itself but the method: a musician who views archived material as material for reinterpretation across multiple versions, and building a numbered series out of revisiting it.
