CRAVINGS OF PEGASUS
The third album, October 2021
A journey between organic and artificial soundscapes,
between verbal and non verbal sounds, with mythological guides and impulsive language. 

“Pegasus is the body that does not follow words, it is the one who doesn’t need to behave, the one who plays hide and seek when you’re not able to fall asleep. It is the urge to speak another language.
It’s there. When you finally trust yourself and the world around you.
It’s that voice that asks you to play in the mud, 
to sing,
and just be. ”

PEGASUS

On the long-awaited Exaptations, Toronto-based composer Nick Storring presents two highly textural, side-long pieces. On “Field Lines”, originally composed for Yvonne NG Peck Wan‘s dance piece, Magnetic Fields, a certain fragmented, uncertain openness is conveyed: a series of brief, dreamlike clearings are vignetted by pregnant silences or various levels of waking or sleeping states. Storring plays with a variety of tonal instruments that swell and tumble along while being nipped at by expressive percussion. Organic clusters develop within event-based sequences, stretching attention across multiple timbres and rhythms. On “Yield Criteria”, shifting drones move about like independent layers of ice on a lake in the dead of winter, slowing crumbling, sliding, and cracking in perfect harmony. Storring has written for dance and other interdisciplinary settings, and here he brings the delicate resourcefulness of a skilled accompanist, as well as a narrative sense that belatedly, profoundly blossoms.
