“…a playful and meditative album….”
— Pacific Notions, KEXP-Seattle
“Cat in Window’s Vignettes, Vol. 1 (released in October, 2024) is packed with atmospheric, emotive instrumentals. “Vignette 8” is no exception. The melodies on “Vignette 8” move towards resolutions that tug on my heartstrings. Closing my eyes to truly listen, “Vignette 8” conjures images of waving goodbye, of scenery flashing by from train windows, and sunsets over cityscapes which bleed into the countryside as time and distance pass us by. It sparks the imagination with its delicate chord progressions which swell with poignancy; the soft beats behind it offer a rhythmic, percussive backbone to the track…I adore the personality of this project and the metaphor of its creation, described best by its composer: “Instrumental melodies are like cats. They are quiet and unassuming, often go unnoticed in a room, but make all the difference. “”
