Album Notes & Community Reviews

Making her debut on the esteemed Warp imprint, the New York-based composer explores the unique, metallic timbres of the prepared piano on this breathtakingly intricate project. Finding liberation through extensive free improvisation, Moran heavily processes her acoustic performances through sweeping electronic delays and synthesizers, creating a shimmering, deeply complex ambient tapestry. The record earned widespread acclaim as a visionary update to minimalist composition.
