'The Words She Said' writes its own empirical story through the use of traditional instruments and experimental recording techniques, offering a flood of emotional and sincere beauty.
The musical universe of the present day established keeps on blooming, as the new era of authors joins customary solo piano pieces with electronic medications, weaving in components of blended arpeggios, swaying cushions, and acoustic surfaces. He might not have been the, to begin with, but rather maybe Nils Frahm opened the entryway with his live exhibitions of solo piano and Roland's Juno-60, which has roused innumerable counterparts to investigate that excellent marriage, amongst natural and man-made. On The Words She Said, Limerick-based (Ireland) composer, Paddy Mulcahy, offers his profound feelings through a perfectly made excursion of the eight pieces, making a complex move between his piano and his synth. “Originally I wanted to uncover what I love so much about the sounds of piano and synthesizer,” says Mulcahy in regards to his collection, “there is something so beautiful about the raw tones of an analog oscillator… especially the one that that hasn't been tuned in a while!” Perhaps Mulcahy will pardon me for drawing the correlation between his music and that of Frahm's, yet there is simply something so inviting and natural in the delicate piano keys, the nearly mixed hammers, the floating pitch-twisted synth tone, slight echoes of the xylophone, and warm simple bass. Also, I can't get enough of this sound (while genuinely battling the inclination of taking a shot at a comparable way). The collection title itself is passing on a fairly wistful message, conceivably nostalgic, despairing and blue. Be that as it may, the notes on the pieces float in an inspiring vapor of congruity, conveyed forward by the strings and regulated signs of the synth. The collection is gotten by the extremely productive 1631 Recordings, which brags a list of the incredible present day established discharges to keep you occupied for quite a while.
