BACKGROUND
Three tracks that blur the line between contemporary and classical music, with an underlying touch of mystery and contemplation.If there's a common theme here, it's maybe the organ?

First a track from the German-born classical composer - Max Richter - who mixes his own minimal compositions with electronics to produce dreamy and ethereal soundscapes.

I’m a big fan of Piano Magic, and Glen Johnson from the band released a solo album in September under the name of Textile Ranch - a highly experimental and intriguing project that he recorded at home without the aid of a computer.

Following on from that, some near classical electronica from the hand of Darrell Fitton, aka Bola –he released a symphonic and meditative album in November called, ‘Gnayse.' And that album is definitely one that grows on me more and more with each listen - highly recommended.
