Album Notes & Community Reviews

Utilizing custom-designed software to drastically manipulate and time-stretch piano compositions (often B茅la Bart贸k pieces), this album is a stunning technical and artistic achievement. The American composer crafts an incredibly lethargic, cold, and profoundly melancholic ambient work, characterized by its sparse, surreal, and ethereal atmosphere.
