Ryan Teague
Field Drawings
'Field Drawings' is the third solo album from Bristol-based composer/producer, Ryan Teague. Its twelve relatively brief essays demonstrate Teague’s robust approach to melody and his ability to evoke a consistent mood, one that’s neither euphoric nor melancholy but which remains heightened, even dream-like, throughout. Preferring the emotional tug evoked by the enmeshing of simple, contrapuntal melody lines and the glowing properties of major-to-minor chord sequences set against pretty, arpeggiating note clusters, it begins like a Michael Nyman film theme running backwards and is then engulfed by stratus clouds of Arvo Pärt-like legato strings.
