PATRICK GODFREY
Blue Night
Patrick's musicianship is outstanding and his tone colors are subtle. This is mood
music and each piece has its own distinct character which forms a unique web of
sound color. The album is reminiscent of a group of tone poems. This is
electronic music at its best!
Weaving Dreams is characterized by a rhythm which pervades like a ground while
flute and guitar like sounds thread their way throughout the piece. When Lilacs
Last Bloomed is a picturesque story-piece. A liquid melody is presented in the
keyboard which mimics a harpsichord sound and is then passed on to a flute
sound as the keyboard moves into an accompanying position. Airy celestial tones
characterize the entrance of Come Down Angels and are followed by an
accompaniment of sustained low tones which fade in and out. This piece captures
an etheric mood in its contrast between windy high tones and low bass. A very
effective piece which held my interest from start to finish. This would be a nice
album to take on a long drive or to have as a background when at home.
Captivating. Angharad Llewellyn
