Journeys
By
Soul Improvisations

I remember with great fondness this track, in fact if memory
serves me right, I actually featured it on my long form music show In the Stream, and what a beautiful
addition it was. I am of course referring to the glorious gift that is Journeys by Soul Improvisations, a delicate, yet fluent piano manifestation
that has a wonderful timelessness about its construction.
The piece itself rises and falls like a summer tide and the
piano is used as a diary of tone and timbre, or as a painter whose brush
strokes are both illuminating and textured, all of that and more can be found
on this amazing offering by the artist.
It is so good to see long form music making a name now,
allowing for those of us who just wish that immersive journey to continue
onward until we are satiated. The themes explored within this piece are built
upon a dramatic and somewhat romantic melody, one alone that could be turned
into a hit song, but the mastery of this quite breath taking opus is the piano
performance, which has layers of sensitivity entwined with passion, all of
which are layered perfectly into this inspiring colourful narrative.
This is one of those manifestations that fans of solo piano
should allow themselves a good twenty minutes of their time, to thoroughly
enjoy and explore this sublime creation, this is a true tale, a perfect musical
narration of journeys taken, ones in motion, ones yet to have been started, so
why not begin now, by bathing in Journeys
by Soul Improvisations.
