Microscripts by Cabbaggage: Album Review
“Microscripts” is an album by Cabbaggage with meditative piano arrangements. The entirety of the record is mostly instrumental, with facets of ambient and neo-classical music mixed in. With that being said, fans of the graceful piano will be delighted with Cabbaggage’s collection of music.
The album opens up with a dramatic piece, “M. 337: Radio.” It’s got an aura of an intense scene unfolding in cinema, all the while a deep piano sets the tone. Cabbaggage’s technique absorbs you in that aspect, and the tone keeps your mind occupied. A dark ambient and rather experimental turn can be heard in the second track “M. 39: Pencil Sketch”, while the next one, “M. 389: New Year’s Page” is more playful. Upon reaching the cadence of “M. 72: Autumn (II)” a wave of atmosphere hit me. This is primarily due to the piano’s long stretching notes, which created a rather ethereal effect. That tone is abundant in Cabbaggage’s album, and it impresses me to hear such evocative melodies. Once you hear it, folks, you’ll know what I’m talking about. Also, the neo-classical genre is present here too, and the music generates a scene from the Beethoven era or inspires a score on period dramas.
Ladies and gents, there comes a time when the hustle and bustle of city life can get to you. When the 9–5 grind depletes your soul, a gentle melody is required to soothe your woes. Thus, this is where Cabbaggage’s melodic aura is required to heal our spirits.
