Roger Eno

The Skies, They Shift Like Chords

£39.99

Released: 13th October 2023. 'Basically, it's about transience' Eno says of the new recording, whose moments of silence are of great importance in allowing the music to breathe while the listener explores what they feel and what comes to mind. His new album 'the skies, they shift like chords' builds on the soundscape of piano and strings that Eno first introduced on his first solo album 'The Turning Year'. With instruments such as electric guitar, clarinet, bass clarinet, vibraphone, flute organ and electronica, he creates an emotional thread that accompanies you as you listen. He draws his inspiration from his connection to his home in East Anglia. Most of the pieces were created from improvisations, the musical 'snapshots' Eno speaks of. 'They are best captured by foregoing detail'. Roger Eno releases his second solo album the skies, they shift like chords on Deutsche Grammophon.
