“Stan’s Retreat 6. Resolved (2025 Remix)” feels like stepping into a quiet doorway… only for the room to slowly light up around you. Mark Attebery taps into that rare cinematic energy where a track starts calm, almost whisper-soft, and then blooms into something layered, textural, and full of movement. It’s neoclassical chamber music, but with the pulse of a story unfolding in real time.

The piece is part of Attebery’s long-running creative linkup with choreographer John Malashock, a partnership that has already produced acclaimed stage performances. This new studio release pushes that energy even further, giving the music space to stretch, breathe, and reveal all its micro-emotions without the visual cues of dance. You still feel the choreography, though. Every swell, every shift in tone feels like a dancer turning sharply or gliding unexpectedly across a dim stage.
Attebery surrounds his flute and wind textures with a beautifully unusual ensemble: John Flood on percussion, Hannes Giger grounding everything with bass, and Susannah Martin’s soprano drifting through like a ghost who remembers things you’ve forgotten. There’s a softness at the start, something reflective and a little lonely, pulling from the emotional core of Carson McCullers’ The Heart is a Lonely Hunter but the track doesn’t stay still. It opens up into a more vivid, almost restless sound world that mirrors a character trying to make sense of themselves.

By the time the remix reaches its “resolved” moment, you get that sense of completion but not perfection, like a truth finally spoken after years of avoiding it. It’s delicate, haunting, and strangely comforting.
