Carrying on a practice they vividly introduced on the astonishing 2022 album World in World, Reidy has found a unique take on alternate tuning, sculpting sounds that churn \u0026amp; swirl, activated by harmony that seems to levitate even as it moves. When commissioned by Zinc \u0026amp; Copper - the veteran trio of tubist Robin Hayward, French horn player Elena Kakaliagou, \u0026amp; trumpeter\/trombonist Hilary Jeffery, who’ve worked with the likes of Catherine Lamb, Ellen Arkbro, \u0026amp; Éliane Radigue - Reidy conceived a fascinating timbre that complemented the group’s sonic purity with their own electronic machinations.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReidy has described the work as sound “collapsing in on itself,” \u0026amp;, indeed, the music evokes a kind of slow-motion implosion, as parts of a brassy edifice tumble into its foundation - captured instants \u0026amp; time stretched echoes. Reidy ingeniously seized the tail ends of various phrases played by the trio, electronically warping \u0026amp; extending those tones into an ethereal mist colliding with \u0026amp; harmonising against electric guitar figures voiced with the same set of pitches, albeit shifted down to meld into the range of the low brass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efigures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe music transforms the sere articulation of the brass with those electronic manipulations, retaining its clarity while reshaping it like putty in a fluid wash that brings a stunning continuity. The chiming guitar tones both twinkle like stars \u0026amp; cast a milky haze, recasting sets of vibrating chords into a genuine sonic journey marked by sorrowful melodic shards \u0026amp; sudden sonic explosions that indicate Reidy’s gifts as a composer. As a listener who’s become spellbound by music composed in just intonation, Reidy has developed something genuinely original that erases the divide between acoustic \u0026amp; electronic, refusing to let a particular tuning system get in the way of an increasingly sure-handed compositional voice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Margasak\u003cbr\u003eBerlin, June 2023\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003eHospital Hill, 2024\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=630619197\/size=small\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/julesreidy.bandcamp.com\/album\/instants-their-echoes\"\u003eINSTANTS \u0026amp; THEIR ECHOES by Jules Reidy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735486419185,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/julesreidy_instants.jpg?v=1753935434","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/jules-reidy-instants-their-echoes-lp-cd","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
