Unison – Michael Hick |

Unison – Michael Hick
1. The musical interval of a perfect prime.
2. The performance of musical parts at the same pitch or at the octave.
3. A process in which all elements behave in the same way at the same time; simultaneous or synchronous parallel action.
4. In unison, in perfect accord; corresponding exactly.
In writing these pieces, I didn’t have a pre-conceived idea of what would unite them as a body of work. Stylistically, I’m not sure that they do fall into one category of music-they’re more just a representation of my attempts so far as a composer. However, there are two threads that seem to have connected the tunes; one being the literal “Unison” among voices on some tracks; the other being the more enigmatic way that the events, people, and places I encountered from the start to finish of this project have had a common link, and an influence on the outcome of the songs. Ina sense, their project is a musical narrative of the people, places, and times in my life during which most of the songs were written-starting in Boston, going to Tibet, and ending up living in Shanghai.

主旋律的清新感从钢琴发出，都市里的闲适散落在三人的Smooth弹奏风格中，在上海的大城小声中回应浪漫的爵士语气。大部分曲名都用拼音标写，曲中的故事也发生在上海为人熟知的地方，三位住在上海的国外的音乐家对上海的温暖感悟。 |
