about

The original version of 'A Flock of Pianos' was produced by Erik D'Accords & Dubstr. and was featured on the first 'Amusiana' compilation 'There's A Bit Of Flim​-​Flam In This' (AMUS 001).

For this special Bandcamp only release, the 3 minute original track has been turned into a haunting 27 minute epic, which also includes 3 additional mixes, taking the listener on a desolate journey before a tiny glimmer of hope appears for the last few seconds of 1305.

Howard Katzenberg has produced the beautifully dark main track and it's darker counterpart, the last track 1305.
Chris Dinner has updated the original version on track 2, while Steve Rowlands has included a brand new 'Full Moon Scientist' remix for the third track.

released October 28, 2019

Simultaneously ethereal and caliginous, the drawn-out and detuned composition is transformed into a dense and somber dirge which crawls and unfurls around the listener like a twilit fog over seventeen magnificently macabre minutes.
The beatless ambience is periodically punctuated by the bassy resonance of dramatically low piano tones which effectively ground the otherwise transient and meandering melancholy mistful melody.
An exquisite rework of an excellent track.

It was such a subtle trip I had to play it a few times.
I played it for a friend and he started going off on the tonal overlay of the piano sounds and getting into it technically. For me, someone who loves sonic landscapes, it’s a very different piece.
At once lovely but also quite dark. Anyone who says this is a snoozer is just looking for pumped up dance music!

A Graveyard Of Pianos - Detuned & Retuned (60:12)
Digital only album in the Full Moon Scientist releases for the Recovered And Remastered series,
After three CDs that compiled classic and new gems from Steve Rowlands' Full Moon Scientist (in the 1990s paired with the late Kevin Walsh), these four tracks lasting a total of one hour are as many segments with sounds generated by the piano of an attributed environmental score to Steve and his neighbours
(there is Chris Dinner and also the elusive Howard Katzenberg).
They range from the 26 minutes of the initial A Grave Yard Of Pianos, subtitled Weatherallianly 'A Drone Symphony In Two Parts',
which cyclically alternates drones with repetitive piano notes with almost silences and then shadows, followed by the clear and concise 'A Skein Of Pianos', passing through to the 16 minutes of Steve Rowlands remix 'An Autopsy Of Pianos', finishing up with 13 minutes of the final track '1305' of pure drone. Great.
