Klara Cloud & The Vultures: Baroque

Description

"Polyphony, contrast, expression" -- these timeless Baroque qualities find new life in Klara Cloud's latest work with The Vultures. This album unfolds as a deeply human journey through emotion, memory, and rebirth -- a musical tale spanning from the first spark of life to the quiet afterglow of death. Each track opens a new chapter of introspection and feeling. The serene melancholy of Peony blossoms beside the flowing energy of Waterfalls. Se Tu Me Dimentichi brings Pablo Neruda's poetry to life, while Funeral transforms loss into light -- a meditation on the kind of silence that already knows the way forward. At its heart shines Stephanie -- a symbol of endurance and wonder -- framed in a soundscape as vivid and intricate as a Baroque painting. With contributions from an ensemble of masterful musicians -- Mateusz Smoczynski (violin), Mateusz Gaweda (piano), Adam Tadel (double bass), Piotr Budniak (drums), and guest violinist Bartosz Dworak -- Cloud's vision achieves both intimacy and grandeur. Produced by Klara Cloud and recorded in Poland's Sound & Wave Studio, this record captures the essence of transformation: fragile yet fearless, lyrical yet raw. Dedicated to her children, Stefania and Julian, the album stands as both a personal diary and a universal reflection -- an echo of beauty born out of silence.
