"Barren train stations, Polish factories at night, and silent hotels
where lonely travelers meet. These are the images and suggested
narratives that pervade the spirit of Polish Night Music, the musical
collaboration between American filmmaker David Lynch (Twin Peaks,
Eraserhead) and Polish concert pianist and composer Marek Zebrowski. . . ."
S. Carey's work is hugely beatific, restorative panorama or beauty - perfect given how landscape and the wonder of nature inspire much of Carey's imagery. His new album 'Range of Light' takes its title from the name that 19th century naturalist John Muir gave to the Sierra Nevada, and follows suit with a dazzling array of musical light and shade, drawn from Carey's love of jazz, modern classical and Americana. Like a weathered mountain range changing shadow form and color, or the ebb and flow of a river's current, S. Carey's music is simultaneously restful and rhythmic, complex and simple, and always evolving.
Getting me set for a weekend of doing as little as possible - at least after the beer run. If you want to sample the whole thing, for review purposes only natch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ItuxkPB79k
With thanks to BN for the heads up re volume 2 dropping next year.
