Greg Fenton reviews Joram Feitsma – Binne
All of the words you think of to describe the experience of music come crashing into your head when listening to this new album by Joram Feitsma. Continuing the theme of meaningful discourse sounds and atmospheres are delved into with typical depth across each of the pieces. Often the piano is treated adding a percussive extra texture that you may feel enhances the notes – that’s down to personal taste – while at others it is the beautiful simplicity of the keys themselves that resonate so powerfully with Piter-Jan Goodijk’s Trumpet adding a firey resonance to occasional proceedings, such as the blistering opening Intervallen.
The album is never afraid to explore and divulge a wider range of moods either as the rousing closing Trou II testifies and is all the stronger for it. Mostly though the music sits somewhere between haunting melancholy and the aforementioned quest for life affirmation. Either way, the experience leaves an indelible, organic impression upon the listener like the music has in some way soundtracked a sequence of encounters.
Release: October 20
