Neil Patton - Hammer & Wire (2012)

Twelve "stories without words," performed on solo piano by Neil Patton. These compositions defy the conventional "New Age" categorization usually assigned to modern solo piano music, taking the listener on several different journeys of high emotion, meditation, mourning, celebration, fear and triumph. No part of the dynamic range of the piano is left unexplored, allowing the full expression of this instrument to shine.
