about

Daniel Cherney's EP "Excerpts from Earthly Narratives" speaks of organic beauty through handpicked sonic elements selected with a reductive approach. The artist creates a record that resembles an immersive earthly delight, as if the listener is participating in the unfolding events of a Hieronymus Bosch painting, invited into a lustful environment that is not free of mystery, oddities and contradictions. While "Animal Valour" opens as an aesthetic statement, "What is a Year" unveils a fascinating chromatic complexity of sound events that resemble more "beings" than printed waves. It is as if they are telling their own stories that were heard and recorded by the artist, who functions as a vessel. With "Engines Hearts," we get closer to the human element of this record, as it opens with a saxophone solo that crosses paths with a chord pattern from a piano, proposing an impressionistic musical duet that evokes our relationship with nature, but here as a memory. The EP's orchestration pinnacle is in "Relief in Disappointment," where all the elements from previous songs come together, animated by strings, to create a blissful ending.
