Vincent Peirani, the leader of Living Being, embraces a wide musical spectrum in his jazz, from Baroque music to teen pop, and from Balkan traditions to African sounds.
Compositional Technique
The album features longer tracks like 'Clessidra,' 'Inner Pulse,' and 'Bremain Suite' compared to previous Living Being albums, which was a natural result of the narrative and distribution of parts.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Vincent Peirani, the composer, is described as an architect, constantly mindful of even the smallest details in his musical constructions.
Compositional Technique
Vincent Peirani's album 'Living Being IV: Time Reflections' is structured around the concept of chamber music, with each performer playing a unique part while emphasizing the collective.
Compositional Technique
The track 'Phantom Resonanz' is an unlikely encounter between 16th-century polyphony by Franco-Flemish composer Cipriano de Rore and the contemporary approach of German pianist Michael Wollny.
Compositional Technique
In 'Bremain Suite,' Vincent Peirani combines three pop/rock songs—Queen and David Bowie's 'Under Pressure,' Portishead's 'Glory Box,' and The Beatles' 'I Want You'—by shaking up their tempos.
Compositional Technique
The album's centerpiece, 'Time Reflections,' is a suite in three movements ('Clessidra,' 'Better Days,' and 'Inner Pulse'), each of which is also a nested suite.
