about

The palette of sounds on this album is quite different for me, as I usually build tracks around piano or strings and this has neither. I wanted to explore the sounds of the brass section, which I feel is rarely done in the neo-classical genre. I imagined the sound of the typically English Brass Band, often heard in traditional bandstands, re-contextualised to give a more melancholy, cinematic feel.

Music Won't Save You.Translated from Italian, -
"A prolific author with a strong sensitivity, Adrian Lane has for once deliberately abandoned the usual approach focused on strings and piano to create a work instead entirely based on brass.
An imaginary Full British brass band performs the short plays of "I Envy The Birds", resulting from a measured work of filtering and manipulation of sound by the English composer, aimed at enhancing the most melancholic and cinematic aspects. The operation, certainly not common among the current neoclassical proposals, results in a sequence of airy orchestral scores, of lush lightness. "
