So I`m An Islander - Winter Horizon (2012)




9.4

/Modern classical, Chamber music, Baroque pop, Minimal, Mood music/

Comment: So I`m An Islander is the one-man-project by Søren Nissen Jørgensen who showcases expressively how minimal music can be exuberant and blossoming at it core. Indeed, this short-running 7-track issue embraces piano and glockenspiel driven compositions full of melancholic sprouts, lofty motive ascensions and discrete harmonies and mini orchestrations overhead. However, all these elements are wrapped up in the subdued concept. Glockentronica? Baroquetronica? Anyway, it is undoubtedly the most cohesive work by Jørgensen so far.
