Timelapse creates a space where sounds of the past and present collide to form a unique musical landscape. Although the pieces were written, in some cases, centuries apart and in culturally disparate eras, it is striking how much these contrasting works inhabit such similar emotional territory. Intriguing pairings of works by Rameau and Radiohead, Schubert and The Smiths, Adés and Grieg, Satie and Reich, compliment each other beautifully in the context of Timelapse. This recording by Orchestra of the Swan provides a place where notions of time and style have become irrelevant.
“This is a disc which creates a timeless mix-tape which exists in a limnal world between minimalism and new classical, it leverages a tendency to remix and rework music but does so with intelligence. It is not a disc to put on and listen avidly to each track…but instead to simply put the disc on and allow yourself to float” – Planet Hugill
“Enthusiastically [recommended]. There is a great need at the moment for music to soothe the fevered brow, and Timelapse is an effective playlist fulfilling that function every time you listen to it” – Arcana FM
“One of the most impressive shifts of perspective is LePage’s arrangement of Johnny Marr’s There is a Light that Never Goes Out, its energy becalmed by the disc’s final offering, the second of Gorecki’s Three Pieces in the Old Style, itself a perfect melding of old and new…As beautifully recorded as it is played, this is a ravishing 66 minutes of music” – Classical Explorer
