Listen on:
Scott Looney’s newest release in seven years since his debut recording “solo piano” on Edgetone represents an artistic crossroads in his evolution performing solo piano and hyperpiano(using semi-prepared elements/techniques) style as documented over these many years.
- Scott R. Looney - piano, hyperpiano
Timbral instabilities and crystalline chords alternate in differently charged settings, no surplusage of notes necessary to explain concepts that just flow from Looney’s mind as balls from an expert juggler’s hands, going up and down without falling on the floor. A style that’s as trenchant as classic, enclosing many facets of present-day pianism but sounding totally personal.
Massimo Ricci, Touching Extremes
Looney is just bursting with ideas here, as his nimble fingers explore every nook and cranny of his piano, creating sounds that frighten as well as soothe.
Pete Pardo, Sea of Tranquility
The fourteen minute “Discourse” is as powerful as it is hermetic.
Mike Wood, Foxy Digitalis
…Looney fairly ransacks the piano, using every part to produce an array of accompanying sounds. My hat is off to Mr. Looney for actualizing this wonderfully eclectic body of improvisational music.
