contemporary classical

One of last year’s gems was Polish composer Jacaszek’s Treny which painted hauntingly cinematic B&W soundscapes with the help of cohorts Maja Sieminska, Anja Smiszek-Wesolowska and Stefan Wesolowski. With his new release Pentral he’s set to describe the interior of a gothic church by means of sounds. A hefty project!

After going back to this song for three times during the day it became pretty obvious that the elegiac quality of Jóhannsson’s Chimaerica befits today’s gray weather and our loss in the Turkish FA Cup better than any other song. Off his fantastic Fordlândia album that has been mentioned before on undomondo.
