Following two highly praised trio albums, pianist Marilyn Crispell and percussionist Paul Lytton join composer and bassist Barry Guy once again on Deep Memory, inspired by Irish painter Hughie O’Donoghue. Guy bases these tracks on titles of works courtesy of O’Donoghue’s 2007 Berlin exhibition Last Poems. The resulting pieces emerge with a tense and lacerating beauty, where tonal painting contrasts with abstract reflection, expressive moments stand next to elegant moods and powerful improvisation meets lyrical intimacy.
"Beyond the titles of Hughie O’ Donoghue’s paintings, the viewer becomes aware that he has a deep love for the act of applying paint to a canvas, an emotional act with an historical perspective. His complex layering of paint gives us rich colours and surface textures in the manner of Titian. I hope it would not be too fanciful to say that the music of the trio in a similar way engages with the tradition of the medium whilst exploring new avenues of expression for the inquisitive listener."
