Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stephen Scott pioneers a unique approach to the piano by physically bowing its strings with horsehair, transforming the percussive instrument into a continuous, drone-like resonator. The compositions highlight his innovative post-minimalist techniques within a highly unorthodox modern chamber setting.
