Bleep

Intimate, imaginative, disarming; there are many things to be said for Copenhagen cellist and composer Cæcilie Trier’s Red Dragon, but in reality, it all comes down to its sad, crystalline beauty. CTM — which stands for Cæcilie Trier Muzik — gently traces the line between secret diary and performance piece, a lusciously realised meeting of the personal and political. The album bears the mark what runs as a through-line in Trier’s work; a deft and classically-trained hand, unafraid of a modern world of sound.
