The Garden of Earthly Delights

by André Carvalho

supported by

bardssong_pt A nice blend of various instruments that create an immersive atmosphere for the listener like he is, indeed, wandering through a imaginary universe populated by merry and introspective people. There are songs with soft passages like "The Towers of Eden" and the mid-fast paced "The Forlorn Mill" that will appeal to different tastes of jazz followers. Favorite track: The Thinker in the Tavern.

Inspired by the amazing and enigmatic universe of Hieronymus Bosch, particularly one of his most famous paintings – “The Garden of Earthly Delights” – Delights”, André wrote a Suite that serves as an invitation for a journey.

Shifting between softness and harshness, simplicity and complexity, harmony and conflict, the music flows between landscapes inspired by the triptych.
As to the genesis of the work, André said: “I always wanted to write a larger piece, with several movements, connected by a common concept. By mere chance, when revisiting Bosch’s works, I was urged to express his singularity through music.“

The Suite wanders between antagonistic dichotomies like improvised vs. composed music, influenced by Jazz and Contemporary music. This is an exploratory piece leaning towards a different direction than André’s previous works.
