CMU Approved
Approved: Will Dutta
By Marc Samuels | Published on Thursday 12 April 2012
Will Dutta is a multi-talented concert pianist whose forthcoming debut album, ‘Parergon’, features collaborations with Warp-veterans Plaid, sonic artist John Matthias and composer Max de Wardener.
‘Distance’ – one of the Plaid co-writes – sounds exactly like you’d imagine a collaboration between the electronic duo and a classical musician would, though it takes a good four and a half minutes before the more techno-fied elements appear. A beautiful and hypnotic piano-led piece with a treasure chest of swirling, chiming percussion, ‘Distance’ exudes a beguiling sensibility that is equal parts classical and electronica.
‘Parergon’ is released on 14 May on Just Music, a logical home for Dutta given the label’s aesthetic and previous releases from sonically ideological bedfellows like Digitonal.
‘Distance’ is streaming now on Soundcloud:
