Customer Reviews

beautiful ambient piano music
I think the songs on this EP are very beautiful. If anything these pieces are more like poems than a novel, and being that the track titles form only a sentence, I believe the intention was for each piece to be a section (or movement if you will) of that phrase. There are no rules governing the length of a piece of music, Howard Skempton wrote pieces sometimes no more than a minute long, but to me they have more impact than a 5-6 minute piece or an hour-long symphony.

Ambient piano that doesn't dissapoint...
I landed on Goldmund's work by virtue of exploring the music of artists recording under Type Records, a fantastic UK label I just found out about. If you are the kind of person that likes putting on a set of headphones and drifting to sleep at night to mellow music mostly consisting of soft ambient piano work, this album is for you. Other artists you will like, if you like Goldmund are Colleen, Helios and Julien Neto.

High Dollar Per Note
This composer writes very nice music. It's pretty. It's hypnotic. It's mellow. It's got a lot of layers that bear up to repeated listening. But, at under thirty minutes, how much are we willing to pay for this music? The dollar per note value is too high. Economics aside, one must question a composer who cannot extend his ideas for more than 2 minutes at a time. We know he can write longer compositions. Check out music sold under the name of Helios. Same composer. So why are these pieces so short? If there is some artistic reason for such short vignettes, then lower the price for an album containing so little music. We'll trust the composer that there shouldn't be more music added and that the size of the composition is exactly right.
