Dropped Pianos

Skeletal piano loops and tape delay recorded as raw blueprints. A cold, dusty, and deeply intimate companion piece of beautiful decay.

October 10, 2011 · Kranky

A cold, skeletal solitude that feels both deeply intimate and hauntingly distant.

Moments Worth Listening For

The way the fragile piano loop in Sketch 1 slowly dissolves into a wash of tape hiss and digital decay.

The sudden, stark emptiness of Sketch 3 where the space between the notes feels heavier than the music itself.

The rhythmic, pulsing delay on Sketch 5 that mimics a heartbeat fading into a cold, wet fog.
