“TASHKENT CLUB FIRE” By Marc Soucy

Marc Soucy's debut single "Tashkent Club Fire" sets ablaze his distinctive new series STIR. Soundscapes Evoking Realities Only Imagined, which Soucy has been silent about until now. The single was set to release on June 21, 2024. It aims to mark the evolution of a long-awaited maverick creative voice and promises to immerse listeners in a deeply engaging craft blend of decades of musical exploration. With “Tashkent Club Fire,” Soucy sets a bold tone for the series: “Soucy believes the series strives to ‘be’ cinematic and textural, while genre agnostic’".

Soucy's extensive experience as a composer, pianist, and producer shines throughout the track. The piece balances on a hinge of contrasting realities. In his film-like compositions, he showcases his restraint with fire and fury, starting with open expanses of ambient sound and finishing with rhythmic intensity. While relying on the abstraction of chaos and human fragility, Soucy displays a surprising amount of nuance, judging by the accompanying instructions. The conglomeration of seemingly different jazz elements, new age atmospheric sounds, classical discipline, and modern urgent cinematic scoring is bound together by Soucy’s deep intuition for storytelling, blending murky depths and striking hues.

What makes “Tashkent Club Fire” so interesting is the complete avoidance of one particular sonic genre. Instead, it feels like a collage of emotion, bewilderment, intensity, nostalgia, and even the remnants of something. Each sound in the track gives a space, while the production itself is clean and gripping. However, listeners may suggest that elements of modern rock and post-modern minimalist composers pop up. In essence, though, this track is non-conformist, coasting in its ecosystem, devoid of creativity. It is, however, a reminder that Soucy believes art should elicit an emotional response, a definition only offered later on, if needed.

This is Soucy’s release, which can be seen as a shift in his career. Having spent a couple of decades producing, engineering, or even composing for others during his 1997 to 2011 stretch in Boston's studio scene turned his attention turned outward. Soucy, for once, seems to focus on capturing works that portray a sense of personal value and universal connectivity. What’s most unique is that Soucy does not try to cater to current popular commercial formulas. Rather, he chooses to embrace the delight of denying one emotion, offering listeners an honest depiction of feelings created through sound.

“Tashkent Club Fire” is not merely a song; it serves as an introduction to a larger world. Every new release in the STIR series seeks to conquer with a new promise of an unexplored landscape listener will never have, it is a captivating prospect from an artist who’s spent his life fusing disparate styles into fresh forms. Whether through streaming on Spotify, discovering the track on YouTube, downloading it from Apple Music, or even accessing it through Tidal and Amazon Music, it stands as a song deserving of being revisited with headphones and imagination wide awake.

In an age where songs tend to be formulaic, one after another, Marc Soucy proves to be the reflection of masterfully constructed patience exuded through silence. “Tashkent Club Fire” does not try to vie for attention; instead, it aims for focus and sculpts it. With its nonconformity, overwhelming emotional authenticity, and intricate melodies, the song sets a high bar for everything that is to come. If you’re yearning for music that awakens not only the senses, but also emotions, this fire deserves following. I can only say that I will gladly eat my words if Marc Soucy doesn’t make us fall in love with his compelling series.
