The sound universe of the young Croatian composer Dubravko Palanović (1977*) is characterized not only by the phenomenon of musical crossover, as a kind of generational determinant, but also by his great receptive power, by his ability to absorb and assimilate various musical influences, styles and genres, and above all by mastering the craft of a classically trained composer. All this allows him to transcend the boundaries of a mere "stylistic blend" that today we almost "mechanically" delineate from a deeper meaning with the already hollowed-out definition of world music.
Although initially made up of a series of recognizable elements, Palanović's music offers to a large extent a personal, original and pregnant tonal substance. His compositions on this CD, for example, bear the imprint of Croatian micro-regions (geographically very close, yet still quite specific and rich in diversity): the traditional music of Dalmatia or the Dalmatian hinterland (Kamene zvijezde – Stone Stars), of Istria and the harsh sounds of its exotic sopela (Mistični putevi Istre - Mystical Paths of Istria), the beautiful songs of the Zagreb surroundings (Sjećam se “Plavog trnaca” – I remember the blue thorn), or the cheerful souls of Slavonia (Drmeš).
The entire album is characterized by a richness of contrasts: atmospheres of intense movement alternate with meditative states, momentary excitements and bursts of explosive energy with sudden relaxations and escapes into contemplation, tonal images of intimate states in which the musicians present their secrets through extroverted musical expressions, full of good vibes. The album Furious dance is a journey into the unknown rich in emotions and new, still unimaginable, musical landscapes, all to be discovered, a music that moves, inspires, and certainly will not leave anyone indifferent.
