Stuart Dempster - Underground Overlays From The Cistern Chapel
Review by Mauricio Caroca
Underground Overlays From The Cistern Chapel by Stuart Dempster is an avant-garde album that combines the sounds of the natural world with the reverberations of an underground cistern. The album is a unique and experimental exploration of sound that is both eerie and captivating.
Dempster, a renowned trombonist and composer, uses his talents to create a soundscape that is haunting and otherworldly. The album is a collection of improvisational pieces that were recorded live in the cistern chapel of the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul, Turkey. The cistern chapel is a vast underground space that is known for its incredible acoustics, and Dempster takes full advantage of this to create a sonic experience that is truly one-of-a-kind.
The album features a range of instruments, including trombone, didjeridu, and conch shell, all of which are used to create a sense of depth and space. Dempster's use of the natural reverberations of the cistern adds an extra layer of texture to the music, making it feel as though the listener is immersed in the space.
