Solo piano album for Britain's Dave Bainbridge
THE MULTI-instrumentalist with Celtic favourites Iona, Dave Bainbridge, has
recorded a solo album. 'The Remembering' is described as "an evocative
and atmospheric first collection of solo piano improvisations." Said
Bainbridge, "Ever since studying music, art and art history as
teenager I've been fascinated by the French Impressionist movement,
both in art and music. The idea of capturing a fleeting scene, a brief
moment in time, or a feeling evoked by a place or a person, has
resonated with me throughout my musical life. Most people can link
powerful memories to a certain piece of music, a picture, an aroma.
Even when my mam was unable to remember words or people's names as
Alzheimer's took hold, she was still able to remember how to play
tunes on her accordion. In a sense, all the pieces on this album are
impressions, a brief moment in time interpreted through the medium of
music."
