Robin Richards, principle composer in the band Dutch Uncles' debut solo EP. A stunning six pieces, 'Castel' draws on everything from Gregorian chanting to Steve Reich-esque minimalism and rhythm-led musique concr�te. The first movement evokes the experiences of Estonian artists working in secret behind the backs of the oppressive Soviet regime. The second represents the hope felt during the peaceful political demonstration of 1989, the Baltic Way, where two million people held hands across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The piece culminates with a dramatic third movement, depicting the final turbulent years of Soviet control, the dissolution of the union and closes with a sense of introspection mirroring the country's mood upon regaining its independence after over 60 years subjugation.
