'Retold' is an apt title for this body
of work, at times light and serene,
other times dark, brooding and sinister
- Nest are expert storytellers. Taking
cues from film soundtracks and
contemporary classical music, the story
is woven using a myriad of
instrumentation. Dulcet piano tones are
backed by string and horn arrangements,
unidentifiable plucked instruments and
the sound of the Welsh harp; often
heavily processed, Retold is an album
that has as much in common with
experimental electronic music as it does
with modern classical composition.
Nest is the collaborative project of
Otto Totland and Huw Roberts. The first
six tracks on this album were originally
released in 2007 on the eponymously
titled Nest EP; they are presented here
again having been remastered alongside
five new pieces composed in 2009. A
revised edition of the track 'Cad
Goddeu' was created especially for this
release.
