Chapters by Daniel Rostrup
Chapters is an eclectic mix of cinematic music that covers the past 13 years of the artist's life. Songs range from entirely improvised piano (“Summer Solace”), a modern interpretation of a Celtic folksong (“Black is the Colour”) to ambient chillout (“Slow Light, Fast World”) and a poem inspired by the sometimes unspeakable conditions of women in the Kenyan flower industry (“Blood Roses”). Soulful vocals from Aminah Dastan, Nina R and Natasha Elkington (aka IndianMaasai) are complemented by emotive piano, lush strings and world music influences fusing sounds ranging from a Thai children’s choir to a Buddhist monk chanting and Native American percussion.
Produced by the artist himself with final touches and mastering by veteran New Zealand producer, Mike Bloemendal, the album covers genres as varied as the chapters of the artist’s life.
