Noble, Sentimental & Ambient Waltzes

This new co-creation from the Finnish ambient producer Doc and the Russian pianist Lena Selyanina was inspired by Maurice Ravel's waltzes for the piano. Lena's soulful and introspective piano takes a prominent role on this material. As on their earlier releases (MT002 & MT004), the fundamental soundworld and atmosphere is that of deep, beatless, meditative ambient. From this calm and dark background emerge cinematic soundscapes and stylish piano sections - at times touching and intimate, at times playful and theatrical, at times serious and immersed in darker reflections. The sense of drama is accented by subtle lines, sighs and sounds originating from some noble and ambient movies by Wim Wenders, Ingmar Bergman, Krzysztof Kieslowski and Andrei Tarkovsky.
