Description
Guide Review - Maya Beiser - Almost HumanAs I said, when I listened to the entire album in one sitting, I felt as though I was attending a one-time only performance in a darkened, black-box theatre. Its far from your typical classical music - any semblances of Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart are light years away. Maya Beiser's collaboration with Eve Beglarian and Joby Talbot produced unique musical compositions. Beglarian wrote the album's prominent piece of music I am writing to you from a far off country, which is based on the a poem by Henri Michaux. The work features the ethereal sounds of Beiser's cello adorned with a smooth, river-like flowing of words spoken by Beiser, and Armenian melodies sung by Alexandra Montano. Talbot's two works Motion Detector and Falling complete Beiser's album. Unlike Beglarian's work, Talbot's have a more modern, electronic sound. |
