Imperial Lounge No.1

On this trip
You’ll learn love today
The time has come to take a dare
Maiden Voyage first affair
Set yourself to cast away

What makes music elegant yet functional? In this case how can sound transforms a place’s ambient as if casting a magic spell. After listening to a lot of harsh pieces, I like returning to well balance pieces to reset my accoustic proportion. Something with craftmanship, precise phrasing, pulsating rythm, gliding lines, warm harmonic movements and of course in chamber size group.

Jazz is the peak of sophisticated modern chamber acoustic.  It comes with organic and delicate arrangement unrivaled for ambient music. It almost resolves all tension between public demand, commercial need and musical drive.

This is the first in a series that I try to explore what is modern lounge, genres interesections, style transition, the balance between practical and music for music sake, finding new list idea. -sq

    I like that Cal Tjader album, a favorite in my collection. It’s muted even with all those beats going.
