First of all - read the eloquent notes that accompany this release as they convey an accurate picture of what you’ll hear. The title of this release “Noble, Sentimental & Ambient Waltzes ” is the best précis of its sounds: Noble - gracious ; Sentimental - emotional ; and Ambient - encompassing. The layers of gracious piano playing, sentimental orchestral movements, floating voices - moans, and teasing contrasts of light and dark sounds encompass the listener. Each track is a mischievous blend of both melodious, happy moments and dissonant, dark episodes. The track titles themselves are evocative of the overall atmosphere of this release. Suggested listening - at a minimum give track #2 [“That fine line from your ear to your chin (is not so obvious anymore)”] a listen as truly captures the essence of what you’ll find here - you’ll then be hooked with no chance of escape.

Not far from a soundtrack for a sleepwalking horror movie at times. But not dark ambient either. A soundscape so to speak.
