Robert McGinty - Chanson à La Lune
Chanson à La Lune is a dream sequence in music, and the magician behind this masterpiece is Robert McGinty. The album is a series of songs that emit personalities of their own, and they all don costumes of a strait-laced era. The kind of music you hear when you open a musical box as the wooden dancer dances to its tune. McGinty breathes life into this world with his music. He creats textures with his graceful melodies that frolic and burst with life. He has an eye for nuance like no other; each note is meticulously placed as he engineers and builds a rare fabric of music. Robert has created a seamlessly fluid album, we have no idea where a song ends and the next one begins. Robert McGinty and The Awakening McGinty makes a grand entrance with the opening track of The Awakening. The track is incredibly dynamic and cinematic; it ebbs and flows with a smoothness that puts silk to shame. That said, he manages to hold our attention with an unmatched grip, and he surprises us with each moment. The track is an adventure in Wonderland. We enter the heart of a castle, the kitchen of where he makes his music. We have a unique bird's eye view of the food chain as we move to the dining room. The track is brimming with life as he takes us on this journey! Popping Poppette Popping Poppette seems to ooze decorum with each of its crisp and tight notes. It prances about until they swell all at once. McGinty is the master of playing with expectation; he bends notes at will. With his music, there is no concept of inertia; with every swell, he shifts gear, allowing for a sonic landscape to build within our minds. But what sets this song apart is the crispness of each note, the kind of decorum that oozes with pleasant courtesy as a rule. Chanson à La Lune Most of all, his music deserves to be the background music for a museum that holds artefacts of the golden ages. He melts your heart with Chanson à La Lune; you can imagine yourself dancing underneath the moonlight as your spotlight. The track feels like a personal rendition with each guitar strum that fills your chest with joy. The joy is fleeting, though, and it leaves you with a hunger and a greedy need to experience it fully. He gives us new textures of music to experience with each song, maintaining his iconic tapestry, his own brand of handloom music that weaves stories. One could say that his music belongs in a film as vibrant as Persuasion. Every song is sculpted to hold a universe of emotion and event; each song could be used in so many montage shots. It's dynamic, crisp and sharp enough to hold any emotion. Which is an important achievement of Robert McGinty: his ability to make universal music. He makes sure his music is experienced and felt to the T, a trait that truly makes his work timeless.
