Short form musical narratives can be somewhat of a
frustrating topic for me, as invariably the entire story never seems to get
told, but here on this brand new single from Eddy Ruyter entitled Glaciers,
you literally have everything from start to finish in the most complete 159
seconds of solo piano you could ever imagine.
From its early inception Glaciers
offers a distance vista, one that seems to edge ever closer, that excitement
builds into a flurry of notes in a most attractive way, then the segment slows
out of appreciation of the sight, and then that which follows is some of the
most accomplished piano work I have heard from anyone, the tempo once again
picks up and creates an effervescent manifestation.
Ruyter’s commanding performance challenges the short form
narrative complex completely, proving a masterful performance can be had with
sublime ease by dedication to creativity, and with an intelligent and crafted
approach to the compositional structure, with a gently caressing coda as well.
Never before have I enjoyed a solo piano single as much as
this, a flourishing performance, a beautiful compositional touch, and a
creation that is textured by a smooth and insightful performance on piano, this
one has to be a massive hit surely, for Eddy
Ruyter and his single Glaciers, which
is from his new album Waves (Deluxe).
