Description
Music the listener can sink into, immersing themselves in lush textures, and bathing in the richly varied harmonies and sonorities.
'Ripples' began life with an experimental session designed to explore the combination of vibraphone and Fender Rhodes electric piano. The results are delightful and surprising. The sonorities bleed into one another so that sometimes it's difficult to tell where one ends and the other begins: this creates the extraordinary liquid quality of the music, and this in turn informed the album title, along with the titles of several of the pieces. It's music that's both intimate and intense.
Martin Pyne: vibraphone
David Beebee: electric piano
Press:
"Ripples is quality made light of, echoes struck on sound's surface and given weight by the clarity of intent." - Steve Day
"I especially liked the deep sound and sonorities of the Fender Rhodes that beautifully converges with the sound qualities of the vibraphone. - Dolf Mulder, Vital Weekly
"The gauzy, shimmering haze of the vibes let loose from formal shackles and allowed to wander at will is accompanied by the sympathetic shiver of the Rhodes, and sounds like a dream made real and spread across the twelves watery vistas enclosed." - Freq
