_______________

Música Nocturna / Nocturnal Music is a music tale of landscape poems of things that occur at night; since the very beginning of it when the skies turn slow and silent, and we become acquainted of the echoes of the night. We all have images of moon lights, when the clouds look like veils beneath the moon. We all keep impressions of the night and the ocean, that dreamy monologue between the stars and the sea. We pray for strength at night; and love and passion find their best scenario for encounters. Then just before the night ends, we fall into the deepest essence of the soul of it, that slowly ends with those light strokes far away when the sky begins to shine. The birds announce the end of the night and with it the forcefulness of another journey that brakes that awesome miracle of the world of the night, that amazing transparency of the force of nature.

With the CD In Silence, Darian Stavans comes back to Piano composition after writing for several music genres and forms as well as for different instrumental combinations. Back to the Piano, he builds up a minimalistic musical artwork, under Erik Satie's structures, giving a controlled passion, a careful enigma, a silence walk, discovering that in the deepest intimacy there's the answer for genuineness. In Silence is a musical hearing experience; captures the listener since the very beginning and drives him through more than 45 minutes on a trail without corners, transparent and lucid, almost elemental. Darian Stavans speaks about the human silence, about our inner moments where only through this minimalistic silence we reach our truth, revealed permanent inside of us, and we know it well, in it's broadest expression.
