Rapture by Dave Linnenbank

"Rapture" is a euphoric moment of clarity, whether you are in thrall to nature or feeling the divine presence. This 38-minute improvisation draws on that ecstasy of wonder, excitement, and doubt.

Using ceremonial structures and dreamlike vistas, "Rapture" walks thru heights and depths, present things and those of the future. This is a journey that could be thirteen pieces (listed below). But it appears here as one whole, blending light with dark, humility and hubris, serenity amid angst.

Dreams may pass, but their residue is never lost.

Creates music (and #Bitwig) in Berlin. Studied film scoring, so instrumentals and electronics are in the mix. But the songs got affected too, sporting short choruses and long moods. So let us bask in the afterglow of triumphs and defeats.
