Polyphony, by Richard Galbraith

Polyphony

by Richard Galbraith

supported by

Ian Joyce This is quite frankly stunning. Richard coaxes so much life and emotion out of his synthesizers it is scarcely believable. The performances are flawless, the dynamics and phrasing exceptional, and the overall experience utterly awe inspiring. Bravo! Favorite track: Alma redemptoris mater (O. de Lassus).

ralf olaf wenzel it's simply fantastic - his sensitivity and his courage.........congratulations Favorite track: Miserere mei, Deus (W. Byrd).

George Farnell (Matt) I love your work! Thank you :-)

David Hopper Beautiful renditions of renaissance early music. Haunting and enchanting if that's possible.

percussion boy This is so beautiful. I can imagine people who don’t think they like electronic music, or don’t think they like 16th century music, liking this album. The dynamics are especially great—how the music swells and descends ... really musical...

dlap Great sound great works!

Skeleton Keys
by Steve Roach

supported by 6 fans who also own “Polyphony”

Each of these tracks are skeleton keys that open a portal into another dimension. As such, they are all wonderful in their own right. This release reaches back in time to an age of analog semi-generative ambient exploration. Very much worth a listen. 69dragynz
