Description
New music commissioned for, and performed in, the shops on Tobermory's colourful Main Street.
'Shops' is genuinely a suite of tunes written about five Tobermory shops - but don't be fooled - there is much more musical material there than it suggests on the tin, and such a lot of incandescent piano lines to be woven around those fascinating threads.
Where this CD fits in on global league tables is kind of irrelevant, and even the question goes very much against the local grain of this music. But this second album from the Scottish based virtuoso pianist and his long-term trio is certainly unique and deeply individual. It is defiantly everyday and deliberately provincial, yet finds something profound, universal and moving in the banal, routine, and very specific. An Tobar director Gordon Maclean's long term project of commissioning music to celebrate (or at least artistically process) life on Mull masterfully hides it's deadly serious intent. That is to attempt something that is central to art's purpose - to make meaning out of reality in a way that is mercurial, irrational, and unpredictable. A process that, when honest, almost never fails to drill down to some truth below the surface. -
