专辑简介

By turns harrowing, poignant, and restrained, Travelogue is remarkably accomplished for a debut. Centered around 27-year-old Portland composer Derek Hunter Wilson's masterful piano playing, Travelogue also features accompaniment on violin by Peter Broderick (Erased Tapes, Beacon Sound) as well as field recordings, cello, harp, and synthesizers. One of the more interesting musical conversations happening today is at the intersection of modern composition and and electronic music. This collection of songs adds to that conversation alongside recent work by Julia Kent, Max Richter, and Jóhann Jóhannsson while retaining its own sense of style and place. Embedded in the rainy ethos of contemporary Cascadia, listening to Travelogue brings to mind watching the cranes work through a water streaked window.
