This is the disc of a storyteller who doesn’t use words to tell her stories, but rather her fingers on the keys of a piano.  It is not day dreamy music but rather thoughtful pieces that are portraits, or they conjure portraits in the mind as though sitting on a slow moving train as the outside rolls by both revealing and at the same time masking all that is there for the eyes to see. While the mind moves to keep up with the images and the changings, storylines that are exposed, and at the same time never examined in detail leaving the open images to the ever evolving of the mind.  Her musical thoughts evoke a peaceful and serene place, fog rolling in at times to slightly obscure what is being unveiled, and at other times lifting to show the full glory and the majesty of the colorful landscape.  Do not think new age as there is a force to her music, and it is definitely not easy listening nor should one think elevator music because though it is beautiful and flowing there is a full-blown reality here, it is a peaceful reality.  However that does not mean a clear-cut and easy reality.  At times there are thought provoking passages that demand playback, yet the storyline going forward is so compelling that you leave it for another time. 

There is a quality to this artist that appealed to me as a storyteller, as a nonlinear way to relate the stories that refuse to fit into a linear bag, this is a force to Ms De Wilton’s music that demands, in a non-strident way to be heard and it is well worth the effort.
