Restless Mosaic (@restlessmosaic on Twitter) comes from Seattle, Washington. Location doesn't really matter - what matters is the deep curiosity evident in this statement: "Mosaics are intricate and beautiful and expressive, but they're stuck to where they are. If you were a sentient mosaic and everybody walked on you, wouldn't you be restless? And wouldn't you take in as much as you could when you broke free?
You get it. Welcome. There's much left to explore."
That, and the music, of course.
I was recommended to listen to "There's much left to Explore" and "Desert Scorpion".
The syncopation of the first tracks intro attracts. The 8-bit pad, slightly detuned, keeps it. And then, the dissonance increases, before the arpeggio resolves it. Complex and challenging, as a mosaic should be.
Just as you start to wonder - will nothing more happen? - the beat sets in. And then, there is only beat. That grows and builds. A little world music-ey solo instrument creates tension.
"Desert Scorpion" is another track from the same album, both available on Bandcamp (https://restlessmosaic.bandcamp.com)
This one gave me UK vibe. Olde English instruments mixed with electronic pads. Knights galloping to battle, a little piano that is offset by a French Horn (?), accordion and brass ...
This is not music for the masses, though it should be. It is music that dares, that doesn't care about genres.
Thank you for the journey!
