Background/Info: This self-titled album is
part of the art project ‘Natural Synergy. It features a video, which is a
roadtrip from Holland to Spain, paintings, a book and music. I got the
opportunity to discover the music composed by Rob Keyzer and Frank Weyzig.
Content: The music feels a bit
like a roadtrip; it has something dreamy-like and sounds sweet. I’m not
surprised the album can be seen as a metaphor for love, friendship and being on
the lookout for beauty and the meaning of life. You can feel this sensation
emerging from the melancholic passages, the delicate arrangements and acoustic
play –mainly piano and guitar, and especially the dreamy passages. The lyrical
content also has something of a voyage.
+ + + : There’re a few beautiful
songs featured at this album. “Yellow Synergy” and “Easy” both are absolute
sonic jewels, when it comes to artistic beauty. “The Search” is another
essential song for the guitar play and the final part revealing a great
synthesizer passage.
– – – : The album features 11
songs and globally speaking I really enjoyed most of the tracks. Just like on
most albums there’re also a few less convincing and avoidable tracks featured.
Conclusion: The name of this project
is an invitation to travel and that’s precisely what the music sounds like; a
peaceful and prosper experience.
Best songs: “Yellow Synergy”, “Easy”,
“The Search”, “Going To Catalunya”.
