Matti Bye - The Sea (DELUXE EDITION, CLEAR VINYL) - VINYL LP

Denovali is very delighted to present the new album of the prestigious Swedish pianist and composer Matti Bye - known for his scores for InchThe Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and DisappearedInch, InchYoung WallanderInch, InchSuperswedeInch, InchToveInch, InchEverlasting MomentsInch among many others. Matti is also well known for his regular performances at various silent film festivals and screenings around the world, where you will see him perform solo and with artists such as Lau Nau and Anna von Hausswolff.Matti Bye's third album, InchCapri CloudsInch, moves through the element of the air and further into space. A lone piano sounds, echoes - sometimes like a waltz. We have the sound of the wind with us and the sound of the sea below us as we fly, and above we hear the stars and planets spinning. A piano from the past, as if Satie met space - as if Spiritualized and Satie talked to each other across time and space. These songs go straight to the heart and to the senses, and create images in your head. Stories from your own memory bank, as well as new visions - music to lean into, meditatively and hopefully longing. But there is also an undertone of something dark and desolate. Musically, Matti Bye moves within the realm of neo-classicism, but he is also approaching romanticism. References to composers such as Schubert and Beethoven are to be found here, as well as to post-romantic bands such as Kraftwerk and The Cure. In this third album of a trilogy - the first was InchBethanienInch, the second InchThe Forgotten LandInch - Bye continues his musical journey. Here we encounter a brighter and lighter production. Anders af Klintberg has brought InchCapri CloudsInch up from the underworld and the dream- scape, towards clouds and skies.A1. Blues 1 31A2. Empress 4 00A3. Akti 2 56A4. Trist 2 09B5. Doors 1 37B6.

Yoritsune Matsudaira was one of the greatest Japanese composers of the 20th century. His music won the respect of Messiaen and Takemitsu, and has been performed in Europe by many distinguished musicians.
