World-Renowned Cellist and Film Composer Martin Tillman Releases Powerful and Uplifting Genre-Blending Album
      
Superhuman, composed, performed, arranged, & produced by Martin Tillman, is available on all major platforms. European tour in the works for 2017.
     


LOS ANGELES, June 28, 2016  -- Internationally-renowned Swiss cellist and film composer Martin Tillman (Batman trilogy, Black Hawk Down, The Ring) breaks into electronic dance music territory on his latest solo album Superhuman. Tillman has always been passionate about EDM and now he has fused this high-energy style with rock 'n' roll grit, symphonic sweep, and the film soundtrack depth and finesse that he is known for. Superhuman is an exciting and uplifting cinematic journey from an accomplished artist who has contributed to over 120 film soundtracks (including upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), released a string of solo albums, toured around the world, and collaborated with legends Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, Sting, Elton John, B.B. King, Elvis Costello, and Beck.
 
Superhuman, which is dedicated to Tillman's wife Eva, is a reaffirmation of the power of the human spirit and a testament of love. It celebrates the courage and drive of those who must summon up the superhuman strength needed to battle against extraordinary challenges every day. Tillman collaborated with several famed musicians on Superhuman including Michael Landau (Michael Jackson, Joni Mitchell), Davey Johnstone (Elton John), Graham Russell (Air Supply), Vinnie Colaiuta (Sting, Frank Zappa), Leeland Sklar (James Taylor, Phil Collins), Dee Lewis Clay (Peter Gabriel, Jamiroquai), David Paich (Toto), and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.
Superhuman takes flight in all its panoramic glory on 11 diverse tracks that includes the sublime "Zero Gravity" which tranquilly radiates an expansive and blissful ambience. Tillman merges classical Ravel with cutting-edge electronic dance music on the dynamic and relevant "Superhuman". "The Invisible Shield Of Strings And Bows" unspools like a film reel filled with poignantly drawn cello lines. Shining washes of synths and a rapid dance tempo run through the EDM-immersed "Wonder". "Cracked Diamonds" comes on with sleek, James Bond-like sexiness, while "Celluloid Spaces" segues from soulful gospel-blues to joyful EMD euphoria. Tillman even adds a trace of human vocals to an otherwise all-instrumental record, with wordless female croons gracing the gospel-rocker "Unlocking The Locks" and hymn-like sighs hovering over the shadowy "Involuntary Midnight".
Superhuman showcases Tillman as a composer who can blend a multitude of musical genres into an absorbing and transporting album and a performer whose mesmerizing compositions are a means of exploration, connection, and celebration.

  By Mona Austin One of the most eligible bacherlors in Christianity has tied the knot - Marvin Winans remarries After being single for almost 30 years, legendary gospel singer and Bishop Marvin L. Winans, Sr. has wed his long time girlfriend Deneen R. Carter. Carter is a 57-year-old physical therapist and minister at Perfecting Church in Detroit, founded by Winans. Little is known about the bride publicly. The gospel legend introduced the now Mrs. Winans as his fiance to the congregants of Perfecting in October of 2021. The couple had been in a relationship for 15 years. Pastor Winans was previously married to fellow gospel singer Vicki Winans (with whom he has two sons) for 16 years before they divorced in 1995. Held at the Colony Club in Detroit, MI, on April 22, the wedding was officiated by fellow COGIC Bishop Darrell Hines. "Let their lives be full of joy as they live according to your word," he prayed. If we are judging by floral count, this could be one of th...

The lesser known scandalous life of Frederick Douglass

buzzz worthy. . . By Mona Austin Much of what the average American knows about Frederick Douglass lies in the pages of "The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave."  His memory has lived on through the annals of history as a heroic abolitionist. A recent article revered Douglass  as "A king among men."  Note to The Atlantic writer who wrote those words in the article  Memo to the White House on the Contributions of Frederick Douglass  --  applying t hat very Biblical reference to Douglass is an overstatement.  The article was a response  to President Donald Trump saying at a White House "Listening Session " on Black History Month that   Douglass is  “an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job and is being recognized more and more, I notice.”  The Atlantic article was intended to show Mr.Trump and others who may be ignorant of his significance that Douglass was not on the sidelines of Bl...
