Tim Story - Glass Green - 1987 (24/96 Vinyl Rip)

Tim Story, hailed as "a true artist in the electronic medium" (Victory Review, USA) and "a master of electronic chamber music" (CD Review, USA) has received worldwide acclaim for his haunting compositions which blend acoustic orchestral instruments, spiky electronica, and a pioneering sense of sound design. Tim's intensely personal style as a composer, synthesist and pianist evolved from years of experimentation in his home studio, and a love of composition. Along with his self-taught, idiosyncratic approach to the piano, Story saw the great potential of the new breed of electronic music instruments that were appearing in the early 70's.

This affinity for synthesizers, as well as electric guitars, tape loops and kitchen utensils, is evident in his early recordings. The careful juxtaposition of acoustic instruments with electronic textures, and an inventive approach to composition are common threads running through most of Story's work. "Enjoy this beautiful album, that has a strong relaxing effect; the "Windham Hill" recording is fantastic (a wide open soundstage)".

Reviews:

"It's hard to find words to describe this album because much of what is communicated is in the sonorities of the synthesizers, which are crisp and clear, rich and subtle, very musical and intelligent - a far cry from the tinsel and plastic kinds of sounds that are, unfortunately, so common in electronically generated music. Keyboardist Tim Story is not just a pianist transplanted onto a synthesizer, but is a true artist in the electronic medium." – Victory Review, USA

"This album testifies to the composer's development and mastery - music which is utterly accessible, yet timeless and profound." – Bridgeport Sunday Post, USA
