Lovely Thunder

Lovely Thunder cover art

Continuing his exploration of 'soft pedal' piano techniques, the American minimalist masterfully layers delayed piano phrases over subtle, rolling synthesizer textures. The resulting electroacoustic soundscape is profoundly peaceful yet tinged with a mysterious, cinematic darkness that distinguishes it from the era's typical new age output.
