ABBOTT - 'Clockwise'
Dutch film composer ABBOTT presents breathtaking neo-classical with an emotive cinematic heart on ,‘Clockwise’, the fourth track taken from his impending album.
’Clockwise’ presents itself with a sense of urgency as ABBOTT’s deft fingers flutter over keys churning out a fast paced, melancholic piano melody that sounds like falling raindrops and the splashes of tear, seeing the song seep sorrow and sincerity. ABBOTT introduces a powerful strings arrangement that adds a sense of grandeur to the piece and gives the song an expansive cinematic beauty allowing you to create your own story in your mind.
In the second half of the song, the track delves into a darker, more ominous tone which offers ample room to pause for the thought as ABBOTT stirs the agonising sensation of time slipping away beyond our control, allowing his listener to reflect on the brevity of life. ‘Clockwise’ is a song which embraces introspection and solitude but taps into the ethos that pain and catharsis go hand in hand and are a fundamental part of being human.
‘Clockwise’ is a breathtaking piece of music which retains a classical and timeless feel, while honing a contemporary, accessible, sound awash with beautifully conflicted emotion.
