Entry 003 - Gunnar Spardel - Simplicity in a Complex World

 

 

I was given this as a bonus record from a recent band camp order. I had no idea what to expect but what I got was pure beauty in audio form.

Simplicity in a Complex World isn't just an excellent title to an album its exactly what is found throughout this record. This is minimalist neo-classical that evokes a maximal emotional response while using as little instrumentation as possible.

Every note of the cello or piano just bleeds with sorrow yet somehow hope at the same time. The accompanying instruments provide a warmth to the recording that makes the sound feel like I've come home after a long journey.

This is a combination of classical and electronic music done to a masterful degree. One of those albums that gives you pause... lets you take a deep breath and reconsider what the true priorities are in life.
