I have to say that I was enchanted right from the beginning with the new
album. The 12 tracks kept me consistently interested and fascinated. That
pretty much says it all for any type of listener I would think.
Running
Away is very
cinematic and it intends to be. Every track moves along at a good pace and
offers a little something different and many times several different changes
take place. It is mentioned on the artist site that some folks have said
Timothy’s music is good for traveling, it changes so much it can fit the
different scenes one sees on a trip. His music is like an ongoing journey and each
song is like watching it through your own private looking glass.
I really appreciate the mixture of genres and even though I tag it as new
age instrumental, there is so much more. New age is a generic term these days,
with so much talent recording in the genre and mixing and creating their own
sub-genres, makes it all quite fascinating from where I sit. Timothy does a
phenomenal job with a combination of keyboards, synthesizers, compositions, and
production. Friends Josie Quick (violin), Jeff Haynes (percussion) and Jill
Haley (English horn and oboe) make their mark on the compositions as well. As
Timothy lays down the foundation to build the musical castle the others join in
to complete the construction, then the drawbridge opens up and all the
wonderful sounds come flowing and rushing at your senses, making you feel alive
and energized.
I would find it difficult to criticize anything about Running Away. At times it can be
spectacular, colorful, relaxing, and down to earth. And then again, all those
elements can come into play within one track. It was a great recording with a
lot to offer a listener in one sitting. I think this is the kind of music you
will reach for more than once, there is just too much going on within each
track to get it all in one listen. I am sure it would be a challenge. I know I
heard enough that I would highly recommend the recording to anyone interested
in any sort of instrumental music.
