Description
'Blitzkrieg' is the debut instrumental album from Nathan Kerntiff aka Peter Hai recorded over 2012 - 2014. Based on an early 20th century war concept this album combines classic acoustic instruments with dark synths.
Notes
Echo Pressure bassist Nathan Kerntiff, aka Peter Hai, has just released his new album "Blitzkrieg," a lyrical instrumental album featuring violin and woodwind drones, intricate fingerpicked guitar, growling bass synths and even me (Zygmunt) playing trombone.
Although cinematically wide in scope, the album retains a homespun intimacy and personality, achieved through honest recording techniques - buzzing strings, atonal brass waverings and the rasping of fiddles are all left in - building up a rustic, impressionistic soundscape, that, for me, evokes the desolate, war-torn European countryside that seems to be suggested by the title, a dreamscape of small lives snatched up in the darkness of huge events beyond their knowledge or power to change.
However there is also a timelessness to the music, which is perhaps partly down to the tasteful use of modern insturments to flesh out, rather than ornament, the music - synths are used as part of the fabric of a whole, working in harmony with the acoustic instruments, not as signifiers of the cutting-edge.
