Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Belgian composer expanded his hypnotic, minimalist aesthetic to encompass a sweeping, double-album exploration of cinematic chamber music. 'Educes Me' features highly repetitive, rippling piano structures intricately woven with soaring choral arrangements and soaring brass instrumentation. The recording is widely regarded as a deeply emotional, highly influential pillar of the European post-minimalist movement.
