A FIVE-PIECE ensemble with a number of pianos at the centre. Composer David Moore has been making critical ripples with his meditative soundscapes for ten years or more.

No Home Of The Mind was recorded on no fewer than 17 pianos, then overlaid with atmospheric effects to weave a mostly calming effect. This is by design not the clinical sound of studio perfection. Recorded mostly in one (albeit carefully rehearsed) take, this could easily have been taped at York’s Late Music Festival. You get a sense of the space where the music was recorded, a re-purposed church. There is deliberate repetition, with each piece unfurling slowly.

While Moore’s music will naturally appeal to admirers of Philip Glass or Harold Budd, there are more lyrical touches in The How Of It Sped which look back further, to Erik Satie for instance.

This is thoughtful and contemplative music that in its reaching for the infinite, somehow brings us back home to ourselves. Lovers of variety, or those on the eternal quest for the next Amelie soundtrack, may wish to assiduously walk on by.
