Hareton Salvanini’s ‘Irracional’
is a magnificently tormented work of art which, with its swirling strings and rich
crooning, gets off to a gloriously dramatic start. The strings swell and soar
until, a couple of minutes in, the tempo shifts abruptly and a mad sense of release
kicks in as the velocity and intensity increases, with brass blaring out, all
guns blazing, crazy percussion beating away, before resignation and despair
seeps back in and the singer is suffocating, choking in the grey city
environment from which there seems to be no escape.
