It is a work of composition and orchestration of Nuno Filipe & the end of 2006.
I find out about this record in the most peculiar way possible, the musician in a spur of the moment decided to offer it to me when we encountered casually at a gas station, and so without further ado, in an impulsive gesture he passed to my hands "seance". As soon as I came home I heard it obsessively in order to capture all the essence and meaning in musical terms. It is a galactic journey, which begins in the departure lounge and ends in space. A sort of lunar capsule where they mix various cultures, different languages and melodic nuances. Nuno Filipe is the creative mind behind this work, in addition of been a remarkable pianist, has a natural talent for composition and arrangements that just do not make it bigger in professional terms, because he lives in Portugal and more specifically in an island lost somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic. Having said that let's talk about the music, one of the favorite tunes on this album is "no one knows I am here" which although written by fellow musician, Paulo Nascimento, almost defines what I just said about the work of Nuno Filipe. "Moon approach" is another melody that fascinated me for its unusual composition, full of electronic sounds, jazz and the classicism of the piano. The second part of this CD is as its title indicates, a seance. A growing nirvana from the "tunnel" through the "Satellite of Love" by Lou Reed to the "Love" which is interpreted by the musician, but it was written by Jackie Taman and finalizes "the small town boy called Jesus" which is the prelude of this tour through the landscapes of the inhospitable being. Have a nice journey!
