[TLF] trio’s ability to neatly distill odder bedfellows without losing their respective essences, calmly shaping them into their own sound, is beautifully at work in [Desire’s] slow play of light and spaciously diffused atmospheres, arcing in a clear declension of energies from the romantic air of the title piece to the minimalist, reedy breeze of ‘What I Always Have Been And Always Will Be Looking For’
Dylan Henner remains a somewhat mysterious figure within the ambient scene. Since his debut in 2020 — via cassette releases on labels such as Phantom Limb, Dauw and AD93 — he has mainly let his music do the talking. He avoids public promotion, but his disarmingly poetic titles betray a sharp imagination. His debut album, The Invention of the Human, explores big questions about humanity, civilisation and technology. In the follow-up, You Always Will Be (2022), Henner sketches the entire course of life, from birth to death. His latest work, Star Dream FM, is an experimental ambient album peppered with choral singing that sounds like a mysterious radio broadcast full of childhood memories.
GAME (Rodrigo Evangelista, Siyi Xia)
Rodrigo Evangelista (piano) and Siyi Xia (violin) will set the evening in motion with Philip Glass’s Sonata for violin and piano. Glass, a key figure in minimalism, pioneered a style based on repetition, steady rhythms, and gradual transformation. His music evolves slowly, allowing subtle changes to hold significant meaning. The piece was finished in 2008, and was commissioned by retired architect Martin Murray to commemorate the 70th birthday of his wife, Lucy Miller Murray. The piece follows three movements. It has a rhythmic pulse and transparent textures that reveal a lyrical, expressive side. The dialogue between violin and piano creates an evolving sound world, where subtle changes shape continuous motion and emotional depth.
