Cudù with Luc Van Lieshout, Christian Burchard, Steven Brown - Waterplay
Review by Chris Pirillo
Waterplay by Cudù with Luc Van Lieshout, Christian Burchard, and Steven Brown is a mesmerizing album that takes the listener on a journey into the depths of sound. The album is a blend of experimental jazz, ambient, and world music that creates a unique and immersive sonic experience.
One of the standout features of Waterplay is the use of unconventional instruments such as the trumpet, marimba, and saxophone. These instruments are played in a way that creates a dreamlike quality to the music, with each note and sound blending seamlessly into the next.
The album is divided into nine tracks, each with its own distinct mood and energy. The opening track, "Waterplay," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its slow and meditative rhythm. Other standout tracks include "Dewdrops," which features a haunting melody played on the trumpet, and "Ripples," which builds to a crescendo of sound before fading away into silence.
