Solo Three

Album Notes & Community Reviews

As the final entry in a trilogy of reinterpretations, 'Solo Three' finds multi-instrumentalist Erik Hall reimagining works by several American minimalist composers, including Glenn Branca, Charlemagne Palestine, Laurie Spiegel, and Steve Reich. Hall performs and records every part himself without loops or sequencers, supplanting the original compositions' palettes with his own layered arrangements of prepared piano, organ, guitar, and synths. This meticulous, human-centric process results in a recording that is both a reverent homage and a distinctly personal exploration of contemporary classical music.
