"Re:member illustrates most notably the latter development, yet throughout this recording there is consistent attention to the importance of a considered construction of individual tracks and of their respective contributions to a unified whole that has characterized all of his work.
Here, the use of Stratus technology allows notes played on a main piano to generate different notes on two supplementary pianos. Of course, Arnalds is far too intelligent and sophisticated a musician to allow this innovation to be anything other than a means to explore novel effects of harmony that can take his compositional talents ever further. It’s actually the sense of restraint, of beautifully controlled use of what is available to him, that is predominant here. His past partnerships with Nils Frahm in particular, in tracks collated in the 2015 release Collaborative Works, have exemplified his emphasis on compositions that prioritised considered arrangements, and we encounter a similar sense of discipline here that ensures the new sound potential is always subservient to formal, but never narrowly- defined, considerations. The result is an album that combines the measured and the expansive in an entirely convincing manner."
