PREMIERE: GIFTS FROM CROWS “THE UNIMAGINABLE BRIGHTNESS OF SUMMER”
In a somber silence of the dark, the story unravels in the gracefully blossoming piano. An emotive string carries the motif throughout the registers counter to the piano’s storytelling. Fairy-like vocal phrases add a vibrant, spirited color into the music, giving the piece a magic touch.
After an intensified development, “The Unimaginable Brightness of Summer” concludes with sustained vocal phrases that remind you of the blazing sun and the blinding brightness of summer.
Inspired by the dynamic, contrasting nature of seasons compounded by a unique combination of colors and characteristics, “The Unimaginable Brightness of Summer” is an instrumental piece on the intensity and beauty of summer, which marks the debut release of the highly anticipated 2nd Gifts From Crows album.
As a composer, Richard Laurence, aka Gifts From Crows, had many years of experience writing for vocals, fascinated by the exquisite chemistry between the deep-reaching soulfulness of human voice and the complex combination of words and syllables. After the debut release of a purely instrumental album, the artist re-introduces the magic of human voice into the sound of “The Unimaginable Brightness of Summer.”
