'Timelapse' creates a space where sounds of the past and present collide to form a unique musical landscape.

Although the pieces were written, in some cases, centuries apart and in culturally disparate eras, it is striking how much these contrasting works inhabit such similar emotional territory.

Intriguing pairings of works by Rameau and Radiohead, Schubert and The Smiths, Adés and Grieg, Satie and Reich complement each other beautifully in the context of 'Timelapse'.

This recording by Orchestra Of The Swan provides a place where notions of time and style have become irrelevant.

"Divided into 14 short tracks, the disc's contents might on first glance suggest something of a hotchpotch, yet as the tracks flow on, Timelapse comes to work a certain magic on the spirit and conjures a real sense of mystery and beauty...this is a commendable disc performed with flair which offers a fitting soundtrack to these disorienting times."
