“Rain Sequence”, pianos, Aberfan — it has just started to rain. In this sample, as single pianos enter one after the other, you hear the gradual dissolution of harmony.
Aberfan (7 pianos, percussion, voice and tools of rescue) is a sponsored project of New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA). Contributions are tax deductible. Please support the making of this recording.
