You can say what you will about Cage, Feldman, Wolff, and Earle Brown as much as you like (I know I did), but if you have yet to hear Stephen Scott's Vikings of the Sunrise (New Albion, 2006) you don't know what you're missing out on. The Deep Spaces is a song cycle based on the words and music of famous poets and composers (including Byron, Shelley, Wordsworth, and Liszt), inspired by the natural beauty of Lake Como in Northern Italy. As in his Vikings album, his 10-member Bowed Piano Ensemble is featured in this disc working the interior of a grand piano with all kinds of objects, notably rosined sticks and nylon threads, in intricate manual choreography to summon forth puzzling spectral halos and unprecedented harmonies. In recent years, Scott has added a new twist to his music—the voice of Victoria Hansen—which has shifted the focus of his compositions towards the exploration of different kinds of melodic material. Scott's settings for Hansen have a graceful savoir-faire, the delicate arpeggios and percussive caresses centering on her never-invasive timbre, the whole often sounding like the soundtrack to a fairy tale, especially when the Ensemble tears your heart out with those unpredictable harmonic shifts and tangential bass lines so typical of Scott's work.
