Label: Indie
Tim Neumark
creates a Storm of emotions with his
piano on his recent release. The CD includes 12 tracks that were released as
singles from 2013 to 2014. The artist has released four previous albums and now
introduces a beautiful tapestry of emotions and tastes through his talented
fingers.
Neumark’s focus is the range of emotions that include
anger and heartbreak and all of the situations that arise during those
feelings. The list is long for the human condition and although the atmospheres
created have a laid back sad tone to them, the beauty of each track is easy to
recognize. This man is tremendously talented. His special touch and classical
new age sounds will soothe and heal a soul just waiting for that moment to
arrive.
As Neumark explains on his website…There is a different
mood than previous albums, Storm
contains almost all minor tracks, reaching a deeper emotional depth including
both anger and heartbreak. In an era where individual tracks are the norm, Storm was composed as a single project
that's meant to be experienced from the first track to the last, while also
providing tracks that are memorable enough to stand alone.
I felt using that passage encapsulates what you will get
while listening to Storm. Right from
the door opener to your soul “Anticipation,” it sets the mood instantly. Anticipation
eventually leads to “Transitions” then to the solace and grace of the heaven
sent “Meditation: Calm.” Every track gently nudges you in the right direction
while inviting the healing process to begin.
What I enjoyed most about this album was its utter
simplicity. The effect is direct and stunning. This is indeed a most beautiful Storm that you will want to experience
over and over. Neumark’s classical influences are everywhere on this recording
yet he is able to introduce it all with a new age flare and precision that
serves a higher purpose. Music so expressive and elegant definitely can be your
own private Chicken Soup For The Soul.
