Eno Piano 2
Infiné, 2024
9/10
The inimitable artist Bruce Brubaker explores the work of Brian Eno with these 5 adventurous tracks using a Steinway concert grand piano with electromagnetic bows.
“Music For Airports 1/1 (Radio Mix)” begins with agile and soft keys that emit much beauty and grace amid a stirring intimacy, and “Music For Airports 1/2 (Bows Version)” follows with strong attention to tonality that’s therapeutic.
Halfway through, “Failing Light” radiates wonder and melody via Brubaker’s capable hands, while “The Big Ship” takes us on a short, emotional journey of sophistication and intrigue. The final piece, “Music For Airports 1/2”, then displays meticulous patterns that carry a cinematic quality.
An eloquent body of work that may bring to mind Philip Glass, Brubaker’s execution is nothing short of sublime and certainly does justice to Eno’s vision.
