about

music of water, wood & bones 2
duration: 93min (incl. bonus)

Canada - "The Moderns Vol. 2" book by Kevin Press: "The new disc is a great headphone listen.
At times, the work is elaborately nuanced. Just as often it is big-screen cinematic."

Canada - textura: "(...) That he's got a trickster side is evident when “Frozen Robotina” introduces the set with melancholy solo piano musings, the suggestion made that perhaps the entire album will be devoted to elegant, neo-classical piano works. About a minute-and-a-half into the piece, however, a wordless choir enters and the music takes a quick left turn into abstract territory, with field recordings, alien vocalizations, mellotron figures, and synthesizer sequencer patterns conjuring the image of some fantastical, enigmatic paradise. As fragmented on paper as such a description might seem, Walser demonstrates a careful hand in the way he assembles the pieces into a coherent if episodic design. Each of the other five pieces is similarly adventurous and unpredictable..."
