Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band

Ezekiel Honig

Muted piano and found-sound rhythms that feel like a rainy afternoon in New York. A masterclass in using the sounds of the world to build a quiet, melodic sanctuary.

A quiet, observant peace that finds beauty in the textures of everyday isolation.

Moments Worth Listening For
The rhythmic clatter of what sounds like wooden blocks and metal scraps coalescing into a steady pulse on track 2.
A muffled piano melody emerging from a thick fog of static and environmental noise during track 5.
The way the final track slowly dissolves into pure room tone and distant urban echoes.
