discovered them some months ago. Took several weeks immersed in their music and are fascinating.
Their lyrics, their rhythms, vocal play. Steve Wilson say it suffers from inconsistent, inconstant in his musical career, which has pecked this or that style ... Well, I have no scholarly training, yet I listen to music since he was thirteen. Something always upset my sensitivity to (an old radio that a neighbor gave me and that was my entrance into the world of FM and music programs). When my classmates hung from Pecos, the romantic Italian singers ... I walked in other galaxies, jumping from one to another in an example of volatility similar to Mr. Wilson.
Today I am overwhelmed with rates totally antagonistic music and diverse.
What they have in common? it is music that convey feelings that speak a language that strongly connect body and beyond.
So, ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my latest discovery.
few weeks ago, a personal event brought to my mind this movie. Unable to write a word just let one of his finest moments.
At the time the story moved me, captivated me the fascinating landscapes of New Zealand, the delicate piano enhanced my musical sensibility Nyman to dizzying heights.
The story is simple: In Scotland (siglo XIX), Ada McGrath is sold in marriage contract with Alistair Stewart, a businessman living in New Zealand. Ada travels with her daughter, Flora, to the ends of the world to join her husband. Ada does not speak very long, only communicates with her daughter through sign language and a handwritten note in a small notebook.
is Ada who tells the story from his own thinking. It describes itself as a vibrant woman, despite not speaking. He does not talk, she plays the piano, and his music is explaining his feelings. The island life is not easy, far from their environment European world and the piano is secondary to the husband of Ada. Is another man, who themselves are interested in piano ... and in the actual Ada, George, an apparently common and little lawyer, who understands Ada better than the brand new husband.
The story is deceptively simple, but it is a gateway to the complex world of feelings, those that are not explained, which are not understood. Those who seem to Nidaros in the depths of our body. There are moments of tremendous intensity and others, in which power, the desire to control another pass over the rest. Is trampled, it hurts, "in the name of love? In the name of sincerity? Or perhaps make it clear who dominates and who submits to the other?
There is also room for the fragility of the present moment, we will find tributes to the ephemeral moment of the delicacy of the things that surround us. In many of these scenes is clear that the word is limited, it is not always useful for travel what goes inside. Sometimes, and return to the idea of \u200b\u200balways, words are useless, because we do not help, do not carry anything or just rub the core of thoughts. Curiously, the film takes place mostly silent. The dialogues are few and relate to very specific things, the rest comes and we go very well, through images and music. As
in real life. While we, on this side of reality, we still understand very well each other.
There is a point of sadness in Ada, a sadness which is sometimes happy and other tired, "a vague desire to disappear? A mood swings she explained very clearly with his piano. No need to talk, she already does, tells us chapter and verse, with the help of the sounds that your piano is starting.
The image of the piano in the middle of the beach, haunted by the waves and the impotence of Ada in leaving him there the first night is one of the most exciting moments of the film, which, again, there are many. I sit next
Ada, his childish and not very mature world view and feelings, in the way of love and refuse to do what is required. I admire his strength and his courage, his sincerity by paying a high price. My hands can not play the piano, which hurts not being able to learn. It would be easier to stop talking, make me understand, if I were able to start a piano notes.
When I feel frustrated, as these days, not being able to understand others, when I feel I talk and talk but do not understand me when I do not know where to turn, who verbalize what burns inside ... Return to The Piano .

was a highly acclaimed film in its time, with impressive performances of Holly Hunter (Ada), Sam Neil (Alistair) and me, a great Harvey Keitel in the role of George Baines. The scenarios are beyond description. New Zealand is reflected as a corner of the world that may have taken somewhat longer to reach civilization (in its ceaseless task of ruining everything in its path). Michael Nyman, little I can add that people with more musical knowledge have not already said. Music is vital to tell this story, and Nyman notes are beautiful, is a big part of this little story that is unthinkable without his music.
