David Chalmin - Innocence (2022) [Hi-Res]

David Chalmin’s music has the clarity, confidence, and self-evidence of works that have matured over time, reflecting experience that is
unencumbered by outside influences and perspectives. The songs he is now publishing are the sum of all his compositions and collaborations to date, the result of a formal approach and a patiently crafted instrumental set-up combining machines, synthesizers, piano and guitar. All contain limpid melodies that are accompanied (Innocence), interfered with and thrown off balance (St-Nazaire, The Storm), or even covered up (Garden of Memories) by rhythmic elements and electronic arrangements. Their textures betray a certain darkness: the dark side of a happy, fulfilled artist whose music is marked by muted melancholy, interacting with the sadness in the world as an antidote reacts with poison. With a title that establishes the purity of his intentions, Innocence comes to a dream-like end with ten beautiful minutes of Surrender, featuring a glowing melody and haunting electronic waves that invite the listener to cast fate to the wind.
