Album Notes & Community Reviews

The renowned Belgian composer presents an incredibly austere, highly personal statement of modern minimalism. Performed entirely on solo piano with his distinctively high-register, phonetic vocalizations, the compositions possess a mesmerizing, almost cyclical elegance that firmly cemented his reputation within the European avant-garde.
