review
"Heraclitus is credited with stating that one cannot step into the same stream twice. In short, all is constantly changing, in flux, ephemeral. Much of the work Tim Motzer creates is just that, of the moment. Spontaneous compositions to be experienced at the time of creation. On occasions these pieces are captured and preserved The Wisdom of Water is the latest sonic portrait in the ever-expanding gallery of 1k Recordings.

Like water, this sprawling piece assumes many forms in during its journey, wandering through varied musical terrain cutting its own path and eventually ending where it knew it would all along. The piece assumes varied shapes and forms throughout and flows seamlessly to create a journey that is at times familiar yet new. Echoes of instrumentals found on David Sylvian’s album Gone to Earth or Peter Gabriel’s track Here Comes the Flood are present, but do not take over the piece. The music shimmers. It gushes. It wanders. It allows the listener to engage when they need to and drifts along always present ready to come to the fore at a moment’s notice.

Even though this is captured as a static moment, like Heraclitus’ stream, it is not quite the same each time. Repeated visits to the work reward the listener with new layers, new textures, new sounds that surely were not there the last time and may not seem apparent the next. Motzer has conjured up a powerful piece that feels dynamic, and like the stream that travels for great lengths presents many twists and turns. Joining Motzer for the length of the journey is rewarding, refreshing and rejuvenating."
