Expiring World
By

One can always gaze upon life turbulence and pity our
distraught world, we have an opportunity through the medium of music to listen
to one such composition, and by one of the most artistic and gifted pianists of
his day, in Victor Birkan, with his
latest single Expiring World.
There is so much to enjoy musically here, the mood filled
arrangement is enthralling, but Birkan seems to have touched on various territories
here as well, within this one simple song one can detect not only a European
style sifting through, but also a little middle eastern ethic as well at times,
in what is a truly fascinating ride.
For me personally felt piano is something that has to be performed
technically spot on, and with a certain artistic endeavour that manifests moods
of textured tones, with a compelling narrative, I am glad to say that Birkan
does all that and more, in one of his most creative manifestations yet.
