“I’m somebody who plays the piano… sometimes.!”
…But For me there is no question about who creates the most beautiful sounds in the world – Mr.Harold Budd is the answer. His early compositions embraced 1960s minimalism, later in 80’s he contributed to the genre we call “ambient” nowadays, but his primary inspiration back in a days was not music, but visual art, particularly abstract expressionism of Jackson Pollock, Rothko, Serge Poliakoff. Influenced by black culture of jazz, he played with Albert Ayler while in army. Since then There’s just a special, particular tone & atmosphere to Harold Budd’s work that you can’t find anywhere else – Sometimes soothing & transporting, sometimes brittle & elusive, but never boring or bland. After spending 50 years in music, with about 40 album releases, Mr. Budd’s music still sounds haunting & tender to listeners.
Wishing Mr. Budd all the good on his 84th Birthday!
