简介  · · · · · ·
　　Greg Maroney had an extraordinarily productive year in 2018, releasing five full-length albums and five singles - all incredibly good. In the first week of 2019, Maroney is releasing his first album of the year - "Secrets of the Sea" - and once again, the quality and beauty of this album is stellar. Maroney describes how he approached this solo piano album: “I have been trying to branch out musically, playing in different styles, using new recording and mastering techniques, trying to get different sounds out of the piano. I think it is important to keep moving forward, to keep learning, to keep experimenting, to keep developing new music. To that end, the CD "Secrets of the Sea" was recorded and mastered to compare to the ‘Minimalist Piano’ style that is popular in Europe. The style is also being done by a few artists here in the US.” The “Minimalist Piano” style is accomplished in several different ways. One is to mute the piano strings in varying degrees to give a much softer sound. Usually this also enhances the sounds of the inner workings of the piano. In this case, the tone of Greg’s Steinway concert grand is softer and mellower with a few sounds from the inside of the piano - but never enough to distract from the music itself. I know I say it in all of my reviews of Greg Maroney’s music, but I honestly think this is some of his best work to date.
　　"Secrets of the Sea" begins with the title track, a very free and impressionistic piece that suggests being under water, watching the ripples and waves from below with the sun’s rays streaming through the water. Sometimes dreamy and sometimes much darker and more mysterious, it’s a compelling and intriguing start. “Reverence” is much quieter and more open, expressing the feeling of being humbled by “the great beauty of our planet and the life it sustains.” “River of Dreams” is about as relaxed and peaceful as you can get as it imagines dreaming while floating on a quiet river in the mountains with sun on your body. We could all use more of these perfect, stress-free moments! “Distant Shores” beautifully expresses feelings of longing for places (or goals) that just aren’t reachable right now. “The Clock Strikes Nine” tells of being in an old house at night with whispers and odd noises in the distance. Still and very graceful, there is a slight feeling of unease - I really like this one! “A Thousand Miles” is a very quiet, gentle piece about persevering until you reach your goal, no matter how impossible it seems. “Rippling Waters” is another favorite. In constant motion and sparkling like sunlight dancing on the suce of the water, this piece is almost magical! “Dreaming Tree” describes “the dream you would have while slumbering under a big mossy ancient tree” - and what a blissful dream that would be! “Emerald Lake” eloquently describes that amazing sense of peace when in nature and everything is still - gorgeous! “The Lighthouse” is a descriptive piece about being guided home by a distant light shining through the clouds. Strong and very optimistic, it’s an inspiring close to another outstanding album from Greg Maroney. What a great way to start the year!

格雷格·马罗尼在2018年有一个非常有成效的一年，发行了五张全长专辑和五张单曲——都非常好。2019年的第一周，马罗尼将发行他今年的第一张专辑——《海洋的秘密》，这张专辑的质量和美感再次成为明星。马罗尼描述了他是如何接近这琴独奏专辑的：“我一直试图在音乐上进行拓展，以不同的风格演奏，使用新的录音和掌握技术，试图从钢琴中获得不同的声音。我认为继续前进，不断学习，不断尝试，不断开发新的音乐是很重要的。为此，CD《海洋的秘密》被录制和掌握，以与欧洲流行的“极简钢琴”风格相比较。“极简主义钢琴”的风格是通过几种不同的方式完成的。一种是不同程度地使钢琴琴弦静音，以发出柔和得多的声音。通常这也会增强钢琴内部运作的声音。在这种情况下，格雷格的斯坦威演唱会的基调是柔和和圆润的，从钢琴内部发出一些声音，但永远不足以分散音乐本身的注意力。我知道我在所有对格雷格·马罗尼音乐的评论中都这么说，但我真的认为这是他迄今为止最好的作品。

《海洋的秘密》以标题曲开始，这是一首非常自由和写意的作品，它暗示着置身于水下，看着下面的波纹和波浪，太阳的光线在水里流淌。有时梦幻，有时更黑暗，更神秘，这是一个引人注目和有趣的开始。“崇敬”要安静得多，也更开放得多，表达了被“我们星球的伟大美丽和它所维系的生命”所折服的感觉。“梦想之河”就像它想象中的那样轻松、平静，它漂浮在山上一条安静的河流上，阳光洒在身上。我们都可以利用这些完美无压力的时刻！“遥远的海岸”美丽地表达了对那些现在无法到达的地方（或目标）的渴望。《钟声敲响九点》讲述的是晚上在一所老房子里，远处有耳语和奇怪的声音。仍然非常优雅，有一点不安的感觉-我真的很喜欢这个！《千里行》是一部非常安静、文雅的作品，讲述的是无论看起来多么不可能，坚持到达到目标。“潺潺流水”是另一个最爱。在不断的运动和闪烁的阳光在水面上跳舞，这一块几乎是神奇的！“梦幻树”描述了“当你在一棵长满青苔的古树下沉睡时会做的梦”——那将是多么幸福的梦啊！“翡翠湖”雄辩地描述了那种在大自然中令人惊异的宁静感，一切依旧——绚烂！《灯塔》是一部描写被云层中射出的遥远的光指引回家的作品。坚强和非常乐观，这是一个鼓舞人心的接近另一个杰出的专辑格雷格马罗尼。新年的开始真是太棒了！
