æMusic for ConfluenceÆ is yet another excellent full-length from Peter
Broderick, and this time he goes back to the lush, glacial orchestrations of
his debut æFloatÆ. ItÆs probably the cold Berlin winter and the fact that
Broderick has an apartment just above a piano store that did it, and these
touching vignettes are as beautiful as anything the young virtuoso has released
to date. Strings heave and exhale cautiously over delicate field recordings and
BroderickÆs signature pointed pianowork while occasional snippets of vocals
erupt hauntingly. ItÆs hardly surprising that the music was composed initially
for a harrowing documentary about murders and missing persons in Iowa in the
1980s. Like his previous score work however, æMusic For ConfluenceÆ is an album
which works just as well without the visuals as it no doubt works with them. It
has a narrative all of its own, and enough emotional heft to keep us in awe
from beginning to end. A beautiful album, and one that comes with two thumbs up
from us.
