Peter Gregson: Touch [CD & Blu-ray Audio]
āTouchā comprises eight tracks for analogue synthesizer, cello, piano, and string orchestra. Where Lights in the Sky was saturated, sonically intense, almost āspoilt bratā-ish sound, Touch has a more refined palette of sounds. Composers are often asked what their music is about, especially with instrumental music such as this. To me, it sort of defeats the purpose and joy of listening to music. How do we interpret the emotion and meaning of music when we arenāt hand held through listening, or guided by a lyric? Just because music is slow, doesnāt mean that it is sad; just because it is fast, doesnāt make it happy. The same goes for tonality: major music isnāt intrinsically happy, minor music isnāt exclusively sad. Yes, these can be devices for eliciting an emotional response, but they are not in and of themselves complete. For me, this is the magic of music. It has many lives and many meanings, none of them right and none of them wrong.
