Alone in the Bright Lights of a Shattered Life

Library Tapes

A fragile, deeply intimate collection of minimalist piano pieces recorded so close you can hear the wooden keys creak and the tape hiss breathe.

Moments Worth Listening For
The fragile, halting piano keys on Broken Piano, Part 2 where the mechanical creak of the sustain pedal is as loud as the notes themselves.
The slow, hypnotic repetition of ...In a Safe Place ... Somewhere Near Your Heart... which feels like a quiet lullaby for an empty room.
The sprawling, nine-minute title track where the space between the notes grows wider, letting the tape hiss swallow the silence.
