Our Take

One might think that an album inspired by Akutagawa's gruesome tale of murder and deception would be a morbid affair, but Christopher Cerrone's "In A Grove" is anything but. This avant-garde masterpiece takes us on a sonic journey through a twisted forest of sound, where lush orchestration and haunting vocals intertwine to create a cacophony of beauty.

Cerrone's deft hand as a composer is on full display here, as he seamlessly blends traditional orchestral elements with electronic flourishes to stunning effect. The result is a rich tapestry of sound that is both haunting and exhilarating, drawing the listener in with its enigmatic charm.

Tracks like "The Testimony of Masago" and "The Ballad of Tajomaru" showcase Cerrone's ability to create a sense of tension and drama through his music, while more introspective moments such as "The Woodcutter's Recitative" invite us to linger in the quiet spaces between the notes.

"In A Grove" is a bold and ambitious work that defies easy categorization, blending elements of classical, electronic, and experimental music into a singular, cohesive whole. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado of contemporary composition or a casual listener looking for something a bit out of the ordinary, this album is sure to captivate and enchant. Christopher Cerrone has truly outdone himself with "In A Grove", crafting a sonic world that is as captivating as it is unnerving. A must-listen for anyone who appreciates music that challenges the boundaries of genre and convention.
