VIEWS FROM MY HORSE

Description

I am very happy to finally present this CD of music written by me (Ricardo Odriozola) between 2002 and 2004.

The album is, to a large extent, a documentation of those three years in the composer’s life, so the material is autobiographic. Do not read too much into it, though. Ideally, the music will appeal as pure music and, perhaps, prompt you to look into your own biography and find points of connection.

The programme is varied: tango, children’s pieces, pseudo-prog, a piano soliloquy and chamber music, all of it intentionally and inevitably written from the inner recesses of the heart and, equally intentionally (and necessarily), balanced by the head.

“Views From My Horse” is graced by outstanding contributions from several top musicians from the Bergen area.
