Lena Sedykh: Magic Letters
Lapin trasforma in musica lo spirito della creatività di Lena Sedykh attraverso una musica decisamente intensa, piena di emotività. Nel processo di redazione, il ruolo della Sedykh è limitato a semplici accenni vocali, frammenti dalle sue lettere che risultano lievi, ma profondi. Il piano di Lapin, accompagnato da una splendida iterazione tra fiati (clarinetto, flauto e tromba), ammalia e seduce.
Esclusa la prima traccia, “The Tale” e l'ultima "The End" in cui emerge la voce della Sedykh, le sette centrali danno vita ad una complessa trama, fitta di scambi tra musicisti. Si alternano pennellate roventi a pennellate più delicate in un'atmosfera che si mantiene sempre lucente e piena di colori.
Bel lavoro, singolare e affascinante per questa sua capacità di unire musica, arte e parole.
