Berger Le - Music For Guitar & Patience

Facts "The two go hand in hand like a dance: chance flirts with necessity, randomnesswith determinism. To be sure, it is from this interchange that novelty and creativityarise in Nature, thereby yielding unique forms and novel structures."--Eric Chaisson"Random occurrences. Sunlight bursting through treetops. Accidental beauty.These things are not just confined to nature and landscape. Le Berger isMontreal native Samuel Landry. Deeply moved and inspired by Ithaca Trio'sMusic for Piano & Patience (Home Normal, 2013), he sought out to make newmaterial, choosing to work with methods that he felt were similar. Unused guitarsamples from fifteen years ago became the sole source material, providing thealbum with a wistful, folky kind of ambience. While ambient textures provide ablissfully drowsy background, the guitar evokes and mirrors the calm feeling ofleaves rustling in the breeze, or light on the ocean exploding into millions ofindividual flecks as the waves come in to shore. As random as they may be, itnever startles the listener. It is music mirroring life. A work born from a marriage ofchance, randomness and composed elements, it results in Le Berger's mostevocative and poetic work to date." --Fuzz LeeAcoustic guitar and patience by Le Berger with the electric guitar help of StefanChristoff on "sgfoj;dfsgoj;bdgafe."
