Our Take
Our Take
Stepping into the whimsical world of Manu Delago's latest offering "Parasol Peak," is like being transported to a magical musical kingdom where the rules of traditional instrumentation are mere suggestions. Delago, the mastermind behind the Hang drum, takes listeners on a journey through lush soundscapes and experimental compositions that push the boundaries of what music can be.
The album kicks off with the dreamy "Wandering Around," a gentle reminder to let go of the mundane and embrace the unknown. Delago's ethereal vocals paired with cascading strings create a sense of weightlessness that is both enchanting and uplifting.
Tracks like "White Atlas" and "Parasol Woods" showcase Delago's virtuosity as a Hang player, with intricate rhythms weaving in and out of haunting melodies. The album's title track, "Parasol Peak," is a stunning crescendo of lush orchestration and frenetic percussion that builds to a euphoric climax.
Delago's storytelling abilities shine through on tracks like "The Silent Flight of the Owl," a delicate ode to the beauty of nature, and "Descent," a powerful meditation on the passage of time. Each song is a mini masterpiece, capturing a moment in time and inviting listeners to explore the depths of their own imagination.
"Parasol Peak" is a triumph of creativity and innovation, a testament to Delago's skill as a composer and performer. So buckle up, dear listener, and prepare to be whisked away on a musical adventure like no other. This is an album that demands to be heard, an experience that will leave you breathless and longing for more.
