This music is born in the broad field, where the grass is bent, being blown on by streams of fresh wind. This music has range and freedom, liberty and flight. And you feel yourself standing on this boundless field under the clear blue sky, on which little fluffy clouds are rushing. Where drives them this wind, which came from nowhere? Maybe, to the spurs of the mountains, which darken near the very horizon? Or, maybe farther, to the land of lush meadows and crystal clear streams? To the place, where a many-colored carpet of flowers rages in an incredible celebration of Life between white, glaringly shining peaks. Or, maybe, the way of these sky travelers lies farther on, to the immense ocean, which bowl along its foamy waves under the boundless sky, filled with glimmering stars?…
This is the music by Davol. This is his "Open Book". This music is very figurative. It brings various pictures. And these pictures are bright and light. Music of Davol is uplifting. With this music one wishes to soar and fly, to observe this land from the height of a bird's flight, to see everything, to the very details, to be in the most secluded places of this small planet…
And the composer helps you in this. He supports you softly. He helps you to be filled with energy. It seems that Davol tells you: "I am here, I am nearby and my hand will always help you".
With all this the music of "Open Book" is perfectly built compositionally. It is very melodic. All the samples are masterly mounted in it. A classicism and some strictness, which does not hinder the flight of inspiration, is felt in the music of Davol. On the contrary, this strictness underlines the splashing out spontaneous emotionality of Davol's music. And in this music all the borders disappear, all the barriers dissolve, and one wishes to delight and follow this music, obeying only his nature.
Music of Davol is incredibly sincere. Deep love to the listener is felt in Davol's music. And, when "Open Book" sounds, you are in this stream of love and tenderness. You feel how this stream flows to you, covers you, fills you and feeds you…
The album by Davol is the new age classics. This is a music of love and free wind. This is the beauty itself…
