Carolyn Hume: Solo Piano Works
Ma non è né l’aria frizzante e tonificante del mattino, né quella gioiosa e spensierata della primavera, piuttosto quella notturna, crepuscolare e un po’ malinconica, come già dai titoli dei brani la Hume ci fa intendere. Il suo pianismo lavora per sottrazione, privilegiando i vuoti ai pieni, i bassi agli alti, l’indolente e misurato procedere al supersonico fraseggio, il registro medio-grave ai trilli.
Ascoltando i dieci brani del disco, sostanzialmente delle libere improvvisazioni, si entra un mondo sonoro che sollecita la meditazione, privilegia le sfumature, lavora su microvariazioni tonali e ritmiche, su sequenze ipnotiche, ma soprattutto esalta le pause e i silenzi.
E alla fine ci si sente in pace con il mondo, con un latente desiderio di ...un piccolo rumore.
