Moments Worth Listening For

The rapid-fire harpsichord ostinato in Suite Antique II that feels like a mechanical heart beating.

The unexpected jazz-inflected swing of the Waltz in track 4, breaking the minimalist rigidity.

The ten-minute expansion of the Harpsichord Concerto's second movement where the instrument floats over a dark orchestral bed.
