After so much contribution to many other albums, scores and interpretations, it was a pleasure to discover his voice through solo work, most notably of which for me became <a href=\"https:\/\/headphonecommute.com\/2021\/06\/07\/peter-gregson-patina\/\"><em>Patina<\/em><\/a> (Deutsche Grammophon, 2021). Now, this award-winning composer is back with a self-titled album, interleaving his signature cello sound with modular synth manipulations, describing the music as \u201c<em>the closest to what I hear in my head that I\u2019ve ever reached<\/em>\u201c. For me, it\u2019s a perfect culmination of that modern classical sound with that of neo-electronica, where the organic sound is processed perfectly through its synthesised counterpart, among the beautiful melodies and harmony. As is the case with most modular systems, Gregson has selected his arsenal of modules (samplers, sequencers, but no oscillators) to create his ideal effects chain: <em>\u201cso everything that runs through it is a cello, and everything that comes out of it was created on a cello.<\/em>\u201d\u00a0Fans of <strong>Max Richter<\/strong>, <strong>\u00d3lafur Arnalds<\/strong> and of course, the late <strong>J\u00f3hann J\u00f3hannsson<\/strong>, will appreciate the cinematic soundscapes, soaring strings, and the subsonic bass, appearing on the album. But, once again, I want to bring your full attention to the music shared within. It\u2019s not just an advanced, layered, well-defined recipe, expressed so much within contemporary electronic music in recent years, where young blood tends to chase and replicate the trends. It\u2019s an offer of the composer\u2019s own soul, where every piece tells a story, presented in an intimate and modern setting in which each element is placed just right, from the effects, dynamics, and progression, the way a composition truly puts its mark on the evolution of the sound. Leave it to the US-based <strong>Decca<\/strong> to capture and present this release on vinyl.
