This is the second time I've absorbed this video and I have to comment.
More than just an ordinary music video experience, are the unexpected new dynamics.
What may be allowing more for me as a listener than those who speak Danish,
is the fact I only comprehend my Canadian English.
I don't understand a word anyone says, or what font and graphics are displayed.
This lets my ears transcend the vocabulary and lets me listen to the whole as a tonal piece.
Those are always the dialogues, but that fades into background, maybe, noises.
So the subtle downplaying before scenes switch to a character speaking,
especially when the untitled Frederik Magle tamps down soft and breathy,
and the dynamics are picked up by the background noise of the character talking.
This also lets my ears break the language barrier, and experience a new dynamic.
I'm tempted to think your production value was the heavy, finale tonal chords,
the most complex build-up of volume and tones, but not sounding climactic.
And then splicing in to the jet engine and the woman talking.
That was musically exciting. I was hoping you'd return to those same sounds.
But as the scene of the jet and woman faded in dynamics,
when you were shown again you were what, playing quadruplets with both hands,
sounding light but energetic still, and then you returned to the previous heavy sonics.
I thought that was great too. You even seemed restless yourself, waiting for that.
I almost regret typing this, but I'm getting into this video the most.
No, it's not a cathedral organ, I don't remember seeing bass pedals,
but the combination of the untitled Frederik Magle's keyboard atmospheres,
the vocalizations and jet sounds and other background noises,
all sustain a musical journey phasing in and out with the cinematic display.
And there wasn't even any percussion. That would boom boom that up big time. Maybe.
You should put this up there on your home page, where it was when I first saw it, I think.
Wait a sec. Am I thinking I'm the only one getting into this just because of language?
What was it that the untitled Frederik Magle said about duality?
Aaaah.... maybe now I'm getting it, a little more.
Last year the influence of this domain saw me get a Thomas organ.
I've always jammed on pianos in Cm, so I got into it right away.
Now this new perception of dynamics is going to turn my musical course.
At first, when I saw and heard the plane without any music,
I was thinking, Band, James Band. But this was a far far more beautiful thing.
Thank you again for making your domain a truly musical sight.
as always, John Watt
