those who are familiar with ben lukas boysen's 5 year catalog of work
will notice an important change while listening to this album. his
former creations can be seen as explorations of different sound facets
transforming boysen's feelings into music. it took time for this artist
to subordinate the innumerable technical possibilities to become
implements of his inner self, and he already began to walk this new
path with '0000'. now, boysen qualifies 'night falls' as a turning
point in hecq's personal and musical history, and also as a conclusion
of what hecq stood for until now.
artistic expression of personal experiences are often difficult because
these experiences often block the artist's creativity. in exceptional
cases it is possible to do, one of these cases is 'night falls'. the
predominant mood of the twelve tracks which were recorded as one
continuous opus ranges from teariness and melancholy up to beauty and
puissance, unleashed by discontent, the assurance to need a change, or
even a stroke of fate.
never before has hecq's music implied such melodic and compositional
richness. comparing the music on 'night falls' with romantic classical
music seems imaginable; majestic strings interact with electronic
soundscapes to bring sentiments into being. this is a manifestation of
a person who is aware that changes happen, and that changes have to be
made. as boysen says: the sixth hecq album will be much more
different - this fifth one is the first of many new steps to follow.
