Band Review: Duncan Hendy


Duncan Hendy is a composer and does soundtracks.

Soundtrack compositions can be difficult to review. Separate from the work it accompanied, you cannot assess how well it supported the work. Because it was written to complement and not distract, it may not stand apart well.

Within this context vacuum, there are some very modern and abstract sounds that art rock fans could enjoy, especially on "Persistence of Sound and Vision". Whovians may appreciate "Tempus Atque Relativae Dimensiones in Spatio". Those references to time form an acronym, and faint echoes of "Tomorrow" within the piece seemed clever and appropriate.

The most memorable piece for me was "Silent Sirens", which created a nice tension that seemed appropriate for the title.
