Jacob Mühlrad – Time (Official Music Video)

Time deals with the subject of communication, by means of the story of the Tower of Babel, of which the composer says that “it is a powerful metaphor, not least in our present time, when discussions transcending national borders are so vital.” For the piece, Jacob worked incessantly trying to connect a multitude of languages into a single word – time. After translating ‘time’ into 104 different languages, the composer tasked himself with organizing the sounds, not only by their linguistic roots but also their unique timber, “The process gave me a palette of sounds, I felt like a painter who spent three months mixing different types of colours until I had a nice twenty-seven colours that I could start to paint with,” says Jacob, “I had this very clear structure and I got such an energy from these language restrictions. They created a cage I wanted to break free from.”

Jacob Mühlrad’s plight with Time seems familiar if we consider the project of Babel itself and mankind’s eternal attempts to transcend human limitations. Far from an easy-listening experience this album is demanding, it requires the listener the same kind of diligence and focus that is required in religious rituals. In many ways, it also provides a similar kind of reward. An ineffable enlightenment and feeling of all-encompassing, infinite beauty. “That way of viewing music is very close to how religious people view God. It’s in the small details and everywhere, but you have to work to see it.”
