Last year, Kelly Moran teamed up with the Yamaha Disklavier — a piano instrument that allows the artist to record and playback compositions adjacently as others are being performed — on her wonderful album, Moves in the Field. Unsurprisingly, it made for a very singular listening experience, as has the NYC experimental pianist oft done when reconstructing sound in the light of her own avant curiosity.
This fall, she’ll be returning with its follow-up when she releases Don’t Trust Mirrors, and its lead single, “Echo In The Field”, once again is an aurally mesmerizing sensory experience where the magic in how she made music sound like this is all part of the sonic illusion happening right before you. Compared to its predecessor that augmented traditional instrumentation, the listen ventures into new unknowns where synthetic ambient speckles over piano arpeggio illuminate the path forward. This field stretches out seemingly endlessly, and you can’t help but continue inching into its beyond, even if its echoes have no end.
