Remarkable performance
Beauty is often thought of as the synthesis of form, balance of elements, clarity of emotions, and technique that is so sophisticated in its simplicity that all the parts that make up the whole disappear in the service of creating a space for the pure integrity of emotion. Few artists accomplish this as it involves being open in such a truthful way that the artist is both wholly and ruthlessly present while simultaneously being a background object who opens as a vehicle for direct emotional connection to the listener/viewer.Bryan Pezzone's artistry, technique and emotional depth co-operate at this level as he seamlessly moves from interpretations of pieces that are well-known, into his own compositions and improvisations. Similarly, the technical production by Mark Waldrep is so expert and sensitive that one is allowed to become totally immersed in the musical experience.As music is considered to be the art of time and a representation of the emotional quality of the subjective, one could say that music is lived time made audible. Kairos means time as flux; a confluence and coexistence of past memory, present perception and future desire simultaneously. Kairos also means "right timing" and "right place" - a way of talking about an intuitive synchronous coincidence. This extraordinary visual/audio Blu-ray allows us to enjoy the coming together of artist and music, facilitated by the musical sensitivity of the director and the exceptional quality of the technology.Proust describes music as having the power to see with other eyes and says that it enables us to have something approaching "the communication of souls". Mr. Pezzone's beautiful music fulfills this through his artistry in this mysterious, complex, and ambiguous creation through which time and space are made clearly perceptible to the heart.
