On Pond Life, Canadian pianist Christina Petrowska Quilico
presents a double disc dose of solo music by fellow Toronto
resident, composer Ann Southam. Southam takes the image of a pond
scene, with its Impressionist associations, to heart. Thus, the
music emphasizes delicate shadings of harmony and soft dynamics in
a group of placid, slowly evolving pieces.
The harmonic language of these pieces gravitates toward
pandiatonicism. But SouthamÆs brand of harmony eschews a
thoroughly straightforward trajectory. Often, she uses artfully
placed "wrong notes" to dispel familiarity, sending a well-trod
progression into unfamiliar territory. Indeed, the occasional
judiciously-introduced dissonance acts like a raindrop disturbing
the surface of a pond, creating a restructuring ripple effect.
Occasional moments of greater rhythmic activity, such as the
considerably charming pair of Fidget Creek pieces, are welcome
respites from the prevailing stillness. Petrowska Quilico is
sensitive to the delicate balance of SouthamÆs compositional
ecosystem, playing with assured pacing and nuanced phrasing.
Pond Life is a recording that, while primarily gentle on the
surface, is consistently attention-grabbing.
