Where Are the Timpani Heartbeats?
Sleeping Diagonally
At it's best, instrumental music connects with the human spirit in ways that far outreach the need for lyrical content. Things Shaped in Passing is, undoubtedly, instrumental music at its finest. In a little over forty minutes, Six Parts Seven craft a heart-breaking set of pieces that capture the most complex nature of our emotions without whispering a word.
At all times pensive, gentle and without an ounce of attention-seeking, this record documents the most complicated, and perhaps the less exciting aspects of our emotional nature with aplomb. A soundtrack for those days (months? years?) that we spend over-analyzing, over-thinking, second-guessing and wondering if we really are where we thought we'd be by now. Reminding us, very subtly, that everything just simply passes away and that that's just fine.
