Jaani kirik Tartu, Estonia |

Many times listening to Soundscapes I had deep associations with the Renaissance music (especially Franco-Flemish composer I have recently heard, Guillame Dufay). Not only because of the sacral character of his music, but also in terms of polyphonically constructed compositions which create a specific sonic cosmos, so evident in pieces like Bringing Down The Light and almost every part of Evensong. This particularly refers to Churchscapes. Since the performances in London and Salisbury on June 2006, the tone of Soundscapes has changed into more rough, yet very organic sound which in a sense resembles to me human voices. It seems to be in fact a farther exploration of a sound presented by RF at the WTC performances and later during December Suite shows along with characteristic for Soundscapes rich, orchestral tones. (Although it’s easy to recognize it already on That Which Passes album, in the piece On Triumph). It’s also interesting that RF adds to some of the improvisations clear guitar tone, creating slow loops of gentle themes appearing in the counterpoint, just like in the final composition from Tartu, Time Quartet. The central piece for me here however is Evensong, beautiful yet contemplative in its emotions rather that straightforward brings brightness and peace amongst dark colors of the whole music.
