(2021) Raphael Weinroth-Browne - Worlds Within Live

Review:
In early 2020, cellist released Worlds Within, a solo studio album. In order to get to know the material even better, he decided to recreate the album live. To do so, he uses amplified cello and effects. The latter allows him to add delay, loops, echoes, and percussion, which results in this effort sounding more like a duet or trio rather than a solo performer. Weinroth-Browne is informed by heavy rock music, and this comes across in his writing as cello riffing and rhythmic structures that could easily be transcribed for electric guitar, bass, and drums. These patterns are not overly complex, but provide a grounding for his chamber-inflected cello playing. What makes Worlds Within Live compelling is how Weinroth-Browne manages to make all of this memorable with distinctive and melancholy lines counteracting the underyling raw power. — avantmusicnews.com

“Realizing Worlds Within in the studio was more of a process of discovery rather than one of conscious creation. Long after its release, I felt that I was still getting to know the music and understand its nature. Learning to recreate the album live was an extension of this process which has taken me full circle, back to the initial impulse from which this music took seed, much in the same way that the record itself has a cyclical journey that ends where it started, rather than a linear path.”
