In the records
STM 014 is a picturesque musical selection which consists of 16 vivid creations where archaic and contemporary sounds merge into one masterwork. The basis of this compilation stands on the art music perspective and presents some solid compositions with a professional intuitive view. The development of the compilation is authentic and careful therefore it designs a continuous musical voyage and extraordinarily inspires the intellectual listener. It is the mix, abundant in various instruments and spiritual mood, which takes out of reality. Long-lasting static atmospheres occasionally are interrupted by scenic mysterious vocals, roomy field recordings and expressive musical effects. Selected records are from different periods of time, different countries and composers. It gives a significant knowledge of that time tendencies and influence of old music.
STM 014 is like the aesthetic and allegorical Ronald Bladen’s sculptures where an open-minded viewer can find a meaning of existence hidden in the suggestively shifting minimalistic but powerful forms.
