Reviews
Open Window is a compilation of works cellist David Darling has
previously released on Musical Massage
projects for the Relaxation Company.
Eight of its tracks are edited selections (between five to seven minutes each) of pieces Darling
composed for Balance
and In Tune,
reflective instrumentals that originally ran 15-plus minutes.
Featuring an assortment of guest instrumentalists (on oboe, English horn, clarinet, flutes,
percussion and piano), the disc’s centerpiece is its overall texture,
not simply Darling’s cello, yielding a sort of melancholy mellowness that can elicit introspective daydreaming.
The opening three tracks, with understated rhythms and a slight Middle Eastern flavor,
are the disc’s high points, as the softer focus of subsequent tracks drift progressively closer to dreamland.
