<p>Harold Budd, born in Los Angeles, California on May 24th, 1936 and passed away in Arcadia, California on December 8, 2020 due to complications from COVID-19. With over 30 solo recordings and collaborations under his belt, Harold's musical journey spanned from solo piano pieces to richly orchestrated compositions. His passion for jazz led him to pursue a degree in music composition after briefly playing drums with saxophonist Albert Ayler during his time in the Army. In 1978, he released his second record titled "The Pavilion of Dreams," which was inspired by Coltrane and published on Brian Eno's Obscure label. Harold remained musically active until late in his life.</p>

these recordings were first heard on echoes radio in fall 2009. the other part of little windows was recorded by clive and harold working together at clive's studio. little windows showcases these artist's individual talents more so than their two previous albums. only two of the nine tracks are collaborative budd/wright works. four tracks are fully fleshed out clive wright solo compositions recorded at his desert sky studio. three tracks are harold budd solo at the piano — just harold with a beautiful sounding piano in a beautiful sounding room at knobworld studios, silverlake.little windows is a fresh collage of aural landscapes and moods just the same as a song for lost blossoms and candylion. clive's work evokes the desert landscape of his joshua tree, california home — silent, serene, pristine and austere yet opulent in unique beauty and humble spirit. as it has often been said, "you can identify harold's piano playing in just three notes". it is that unique, always — minimalist yet glowingly warm and glistening, meditative and alive. for my ears, there's absolutely no better way to enjoy harold budd's music than to hear it just harold and piano solo — delightfully minimal, subversive, beautiful and without distraction.
