There is something different in this set of Soundscapes from Nagoya. Something quite different than in the following shows from Osaka and Tokyo. Even the preceding Churchscapes. Probably it is the mournful tone of Time Stands Still so close in mood to that of A Blessing Of Tears album. The beautiful guitar motive, placed at the end in the counterpoint brings this kind of emotions once again to my mind. Where do they come from in a strictly technical process of creating music on stage? Perhaps music is already emotional and both artist and listener are taking part in their recognition. Perhaps it is the matter of musical scales used by RF at a particular performance. Or something completely non musical, more divine, difficult to explain. The uneasiness of Final Bell Threshold brings associations with WTC performances. While Evensong from Osaka and Coda of Time Stands Still from Tokyo are peaceful and almost silent in their Moonchild like guitar tones.
Good Month For Soundscapes February 9, 2009
Written by jblock
To these ears, November 2006 has some of the most realized soundscapes released and reached a pinnacle, the perception of which this show further expands. This show is more of a continuous composition rather than a series of connected pieces. The transition between Schizoid Fantasia and Time Stands Still (a truncated Bell Transition) is particularly effective. If you have yet to experience any of the shows from this month, this is an good place to start. There is a depth to both the construction and execution of all three of the currently available shows, helped in part by the excellent sound quality. Any of these shows would make a great surround sound release.
