: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: The album release coincides with Melnyk's 70th birthday, but :,
: despite the :
:' autumnal hint in its title, there's little suggestion of him ':
,: slowing down. :,
: Having received critical acclaim and co-headlining the :
:' prestigious Royal ':
,: Festival Hall as part of the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary :,
: celebrations, after :
:' many years his audience is now both global and growing. The ':
,: composer is finally :,
: gaining a momentum in his career that matches the vibrant, :
:' highly active energy ':
,: of his playing. :,
: :
:' Cascades of notes, canyons and rivers of sound: there's ':
,: something about his :,
: music that channels the natural world at its most awe-inspiring. :
:' In Fallen Trees ':
,: the connection with the environment continues, taking its cue :,
: from a long rail :
:' journey Melnyk made through Europe. Glancing out of the window ':
,: as the train :,
: passed through a dark forest, he was struck by the sight of :
:' trees that had ':
,: recently been felled. "They were glorious," he says. "Even :,
: though they'd been :
:' killed, they weren't dead. There was something sorrowful there, ':
,: but also :,
: hopeful." That sense of sadness touched by optimism infuses the :
:' album, too: ':
,: rarely has Melnyk made music so shot through with melancholy and :,
: regret, but :
:' which sounds so rapt, even radiant. ':
,: :,
: Drawing comparisons with Steve Reich and the post-rock group :
:' Godspeed You, Black ':
,: Emperor!, Pitchfork praised his 2015 album Rivers And Streams :,
: for it's :
:' "sustained concentration and ecstatic energy". That energy is ':
,: present in Fallen :,
: Trees too, but at points the tone is quieter, the mood darker :
:' and more wistful. ':
,: At points elsewhere on the album, despite being rooted in the :,
: wonders of the :
:' natural world, there's a kaleidoscopic quality in the fractal ':
,: flurry of notes :,
: and the broad spectrum of colour they summon. :
:' ':
,: The work that gives it its name, the five-part, 20-minute Fallen :,
: Trees, is one :
:' of the most ambitious and demanding pieces he has ever created. ':
,: Though the music :,
: is - as ever - Melnyk's own, Fallen Trees once again features a :
:' number of Erased ':
,: Tapes artists. Japanese vocal artist Hatis Noit, whose first EP :,
: Illogical Dance :
:' came out to much acclaim earlier this year, lends ethereal ':
,: vocals, floating :,
: mysteriously above the surface of Melnyk's eddying piano lines :
:' before diving far ':
,: beneath. Other contributors include Berlin-based cellist Anne :,
: Mnller, a sometime :
:' collaborator with Nils Frahm, and American singer David Allred, ':
,: the most recent :,
: addition to the label family. "More than any of the albums that :
:' 've done, it's ':
,: a real collaboration," Melnyk insists, emphasising how much he :,
: owes to his :
:' producer, Erased Tapes founder Robert Raths. ':
