Flying Free
“Flying Free,” the latest album from Sean Wolcott, propels listeners on a Jazz Fusion voyage through the skies, continuing the astral journey started with “Liquid Landscapes.” This album captures the thrilling ascent of free flight with floating electric piano, soaring synthesizers, dreamy vocals, and an ever-pulsating rhythm section, taking listeners through ominous storm clouds, serene skyscapes, and ultimately reaching the ethereal upper atmosphere.
The ever-prolific Wolcott explores bold new directions here, building on the foundation of past albums and introducing a spectrum of fresh musical nuances. At times, the album evokes the peak 1970s jazz experimentation of acts like Return to Forever, Weather Report, Soul Media, Herbie Hancock, and Lonnie Liston Smith, all while carving a path of its own.
Lady Swordfighter
“Lady Swordfighter” the latest library album from composer & producer Sean Wolcott takes you on a psychedelic revenge odyssey over five chapters and 17 songs.
A love letter to Japanese soundtracks and cinema, “Lady Swordfighter” is part sonic kabuki play, part cult exploitation soundtrack, featuring a cast of traditional Japanese instrument maestros, including the shakuhachi, koto, shamisen, taiko drums, and more. Journey through a soundscape of soulful ballads, haunting chants, blood-splattered guitars, head-chopping beats, and ominous horns.
Liquid Landscapes
“Liquid Landscapes” the latest library album from composer & producer Sean Wolcott takes you on a sonic journey from the top of the ocean to its deepest depths and back again. Immerse yourself in eleven tracks that explore the profound depths of underwater-themed library music, drenched jazz funk, oceanic fusion, and subaqueous cosmic music.
All songs were written, produced, arranged, orchestrated, and recorded by Sean Wolcott at Soundview Analog Recorders.
Violent Hand of the Sleeping City
"Violent Hand of the Sleeping City," the latest library album from composer, producer, and engineer Sean Wolcott, delivers an intensely captivating and fresh take on the iconic 1970s crime film score.
With mutated jazz, hard-driving beats, frenetic funk, and unhinged, atmospheric undertones, occultic sinisterness lurks at the edges of its sixteen diverse compositions. With unyielding force, its sonic journey ventures Wolcott into exciting uncharted territories, delivering a raw and unapologetic experience that pushes the musical boundaries of the crime film forward, climaxing with one of the most epic ballads to hit the imaginary screen in some time.
Love is a Funny Game
Fresh on the heels of “il Mietitore cavalca verso ovest” “Love is a Funny Game” is a new library record from composer, producer, and engineer Sean Wolcott. Acting as an imaginary soundtrack to an early 70s Italian-French romantic melodrama, we sonically follow a relationship from its blossoming to its untimely demise.
Lush compositions and soaring melodies take us on this journey with flutes, vocal quintets, brass, drums, harpsichords, guitars, and organs guided ahead by deep grooves of erotic Bossa Nova, hard-edged Easy Listening, and cinematic Soul. With 14 songs evoking a calm-yet-intense melancholy, we hear something singularly unique under its dreamlike trance, while recalling the sounds of Burt Bacharach, David Axelrod, Phil Spector, Charles Stepney, Alessandro Alessandroni, Sven Libek, Sergio Mendes, and more.
All songs were written, produced, arranged, orchestrated, and recorded by Sean Wolcott at Soundview Analog Recorders.
il Mietitore cavalca verso ovest
From composers and producers Sean Wolcott and Craig Curran comes a new library record, reaching the heights of the best the genre has to offer. For this first release, “il Mietitore cavalca verso ovest” (aka “The Reaper Rides West ) is a soundtrack to an imaginary Spaghetti Western film. In the same way, the genre highlights subvert tropes, twisting them into new shapes, and so does this album with its icon themes and authentic sound recorded just as old soundtracks were done on analog equipment and instruments at Soundview Analog Recorders. Shouts, bull whips, timpani, twangy guitars, fuzz, horns, choir, and more make this a remarkably worthy addition to the pantheon of the western soundtrack, where the film, seen or unseen, is conjured so vividly in the listener’s imagination.
