The composer has been at the forefront of opening up piano music to a new generation, while challenging the notion of what can be achieved in the form. New album ‘All Of Us’ is not only an exquisite portrait of isolation, loss, resistance and reconciliation in both stark and rich shades of piano, orchestra and electronics, but the theme of quarantine provides a framework for the record. Throughout the album, Howard shifts between subtle permutations of shifting sound, etched with his trademark intimacy and restraint, and applied with a palate both minimalist and expansive; to his own piano, celeste and synthesiser, the Budapest Art Orchestra (conducted by Peter Pejtsik) plays strings, guests added flugelhorn, viola, contrabass and modular synth whilst fellow post-classicist Ben Lukas Boysen provides additional programming, production and mixing on ‘Critical Spirit’ and ‘The Opening Of The Gates’.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTRACKLIST\u003cbr\u003eSIDE A\u003cbr\u003eCritical Spirit\u003cbr\u003eA Different Idea of Love\u003cbr\u003eA World of Abstractions\u003cbr\u003eAn Hour Off For Friendship\u003cbr\u003eThe Compass of a Telegraph\u003cbr\u003eThe Closing of the Gates\u003cbr\u003eSIDE B\u003cbr\u003eThe Opening of the Gates\u003cbr\u003eThe Moment Only\u003cbr\u003eThe Vast Indifference of the Sky\u003cbr\u003eI Was Very Fond of You, But Now I’m So Tired\u003cbr\u003eA Language Forgotten\u003cbr\u003eA Faint Qualm for the Future\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mercury Classics \/ Mercury Classics \/ Mercury KX","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41202164072604,"sku":"3599826","price":21.42,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/LH-AllofUs.jpg?v=1636623488","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/luke-howard-all-of-us","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
