This is a highly unusual work intended to be listened to in complete darkness, one of a series of 'Concerts in the Dark' held at Area Sismica, in Italy. Remastered by Bob Drake, this excellent, very high-quality recording made at the event, captures the experience - the intense atmosphere as much as the minutely focused performance. This is not a conventional piece for piano or what you'd expect of a well-lit improvisation it make the most of sounds coming from the dark, with visual source of information to explain them. Matteo Ramon Arevalos, by day a virtuoso concert pianist, works here interactively with the whole instrument, inside and out, with a focus on sound and gesture - as well as some extraordinary extended technical mastery - to create clouds of pure sound, passages of mystery, stretches of stylistic inference - and a timeless finale. At the end it's hard to believe that 43 minutes have passed. Especially if you listen in the dark.
