A Home

The new album by the British group The Cinematic Orchestra Ma Fleur is a rarity: a beautiful and delicate set of musical compositions built from silence e.g. in the closing track appropriately called "Time and Space". Silence remains present as a musical element as a revelatory background, one might write so that we can really listen and appreciate this music in its subtle inflections and details. Here's the first song: "To Build a Home" with Patrick Watson's voice.
