BrhyM, the captivating collaboration between Bruce Hornsby and the innovative chamber ensemble yMusic, has unveiled their latest musical odyssey in the form of “Deep Sea Vents”, an album that plunges listeners into a world teeming with creativity and exploration. Released via Zappo Productions/Thirty Tigers, this musical venture invites audiences to dive deep into a vibrant tapestry of soundscapes, where melodies ebb and flow like the tides, and rhythms pulse with the heartbeat of the ocean.
Uncut magazine aptly described the album as “vibrantly imaginative” and noted that while some things remain constant, it’s inspiring when they evolve. Indeed, “Deep Sea Vents” marks a departure from familiar waters for both Hornsby and yMusic, yet retains the essence of their respective musical identities.
The album’s second single, “The Wild Whaling Life”, serves as a prime example of the collaborative synergy between Hornsby and yMusic. Inspired by Hornsby’s foray into Melville’s literary classic, Moby Dick, the track exudes a joyful energy reminiscent of a sea chantey. With yMusic’s plucky cello grooves and Hornsby’s anthemic chorus, “The Wild Whaling Life” encapsulates the spirit of exploration that permeates the entire album.
“Deep Sea Vents” is not merely a collection of songs but a thematic journey exploring humanity’s relationship with water. From the playful buoyancy of “Phase Change” to the existential funk of “Deep Blue”, each track delves into different facets of this elemental connection. Hornsby’s melodic prowess intertwines seamlessly with yMusic’s intricate arrangements, creating a sonic landscape that is at once familiar and groundbreaking.
The collaborative process behind “Deep Sea Vents” speaks volumes about the creative chemistry between Hornsby and yMusic. Born out of serendipity and nurtured through live performances and remote writing sessions, the album is a testament to the power of musical camaraderie. With additional contributions from jazz luminary Branford Marsalis and other esteemed musicians, “Deep Sea Vents” is a testament to the boundless possibilities of artistic collaboration.
The accompanying music video for “The Wild Whaling Life”, directed and animated by Steven Mertens, further enhances the album’s whimsical charm. Through mesmerizing stop-motion animation, Mertens brings the song to life, capturing its playful spirit and adventurous narrative.
As BrhyM embarks on a tour to showcase their latest creation, it’s clear that “Deep Sea Vents” is more than just an album—it’s a testament to the enduring spirit of exploration and innovation in music. With each track serving as a gateway to new musical horizons, BrhyM invites listeners to embark on a voyage of discovery, where the depths of creativity are as boundless as the ocean itself.
