Sven Wunder explores it as a bridge between nature and the human ability to judge and observe through eleven unique musical compositions, each one brightly coloured and textured with an emphasis on vibrant melodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs with previous Sven Wunder material the tracks here on this 7\" are covered in lush orchestration, evoking the rich musical soundscapes of a previous era (think library music or the film scores of \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMorricone\u003c\/strong\u003e). First up is the beautiful ‘Impasto’ which refers to the technique used in painting where the paint is laid in very thick layers on a surface. With its lavish sweeping strings and melodies there are echoes of the arrangements of \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArthur Verocai\u003c\/strong\u003e, but it then takes a turn into 60s detective movie territory. You can imagine it being the score to a scene in a Harry Palmer film which breaks for a romantic interlude in between the action and suspense. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Prussian Blue’, \u003c\/em\u003eis built on Sven’s \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e‘Shinrinyoku'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e from the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Wabi Sabi’\u003c\/em\u003e album, sharing the same melody but here with an uptempo beat and another arrangement. It begins with a moment of calm with its soothing piano intro before it bursts into a percussive breakbeat workout. It skates and glides with the influences of Italian library music and Eastern melodies, yet at the same time it retains a unique element that can only be Sven Wunder. \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e'Prussian Blue' \u003c\/em\u003erefers to the pigment that was imported to Japan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOnce again, we are indebted to Sven Wunder and John Henriksson at Piano Piano Records for letting us share this melodious vision from one of \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eour favourite contemporary musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e.
