Quinton Barnes&#8217; music seems to know no boundaries, without ever falling into the trap of disjointed patchwork. The Montreal artist amalgamates hip-hop, free jazz, contemporary (classical) music, post-rock, electronic experimentation, and spoken word into a well of creative gravity. Just look at the instrumentation to understand that all this smells of educated refinement, but in no way pretentious. Take <em>Movement 7<\/em>, for example, based on a post-classical piano piece and featuring guitar squeals and synth tones accompanying Barnes&#8217; delicate but agile hip hop. Superb. Or <em>Black Orpheus,<\/em> the album&#8217;s masterpiece, nearly 10 minutes of cloudy music where dreamlike atmospheres, lyrical violin solos, a wind instrument that I can&#8217;t identify, spoken word, and a bit of clever minimalism all come together. Awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/panm360.com\/en\/gig_review\/suoni-watch-that-ends-the-night-records-quinton-barnes-jason-doell-naomi-mccarroll-butler-liam-cole-alex-bad-baby-lukashevsky\/\"><strong>READ OUR REVIEW OF QUINTON BARNES\u2019 CONCERT AT LAST SUONI PER IL POPOLO FESTIVAL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">For some, it will seem cerebral, but it is in truth fleshy, tactile, sensory, powerfully communicative.
