Par THOMAS REDMOND. Although his scorching fingerpicking was most impressive at first glance, a closer look at 'Just Us' reveals that he is equally adept at what many musicians consider as a more difficult task: playing fewer notes... ones that mean more, and say more with less, as he does on album opener 'A Simple Gift', title cut 'Just Us', and 'One Sad Clown'. 'Just Us' is an album consisting l…

H II linéaires especially impressed me, on the one hand through the sensual presence of the words, and on the other hand, above all, through the spatial disposition of the typography. This is a form of writing which has nothing to do with all that has existed before it…

For me it was the beauty of the language with its flower imagery which made me want to set the words with richly warm harmony and to temper that with gently imitative refrains. The important element in approaching the performance of this carol is the blend and b…
