Introspection
By
Bryan Quinn

The mellow yet enquiring tones of this brand new single from
flautist Bryan Quinn are remarkable
in their thoughtful and melodic manifestations; Quinn creates a mood of
reflection that is utterly palpable and all encompassing. The soft keyboards
partnered with the inquisitive flute bring to the table of instrumental music,
one of the most sensitive songs of the year so far in Introspection.
I have listened to this single a few times now, and each time
I do, a feeling of a fresh awareness comes over me, a moment of turbulent time
has passed maybe with turmoil, and what is left is peace, albeit fragile, but
never the less a reality of peace and contemplation that one can be so grateful
for.
The performance here reminds me of several flute performers I
have known during my many years in this business, the UK performer Niall being one of them in particular;
here Quinn has a wonderful way of laying a musical question and then posing a
possible solution, whilst creating the footfalls of enquiry as he goes.
Introspection is the follow up to his debut single a short while ago called Solitude, and in my view this new offering is indeed a very powerful and emotive follow up to that breath taking start, and easily his best work thus far.
