A simple recipe. One woman and a piano. An acoustic piano at that so all the ingredients are about as organic as you can get and the result is a delicate confection called “Travel Back” by Susanne Darre.
Although there are words to describe these four contemplations on the more spiritual side of life, there are no words within them and none are, in fact, needed. With both precision and delicacy, Susanne Darre provides us with a musical direction that gives us an escape from the mediocrity of reality for this is music that is both thematically consistent and curiously calming to thus provide the listener with a blanket of serenity underneath which thoughts and sentiments can be kept warm no matter how cold it is outside.
“Travel Back” is, despite its precision, almost the antithesis of the contrived perfection of much modern music and, as such, demonstrates that kind of timeless quality that makes Susanne Darre as much of today as she is of a century ago or, indeed, a century from now.
