Description:
“Sanctuary (Overtones and Deviations)” the debut album of London-based composer James Batty, is a project where he let his ideas “roam free, without the constraints of a particular sound or genre”. Some tracks masterfully combine otherworldly ambient electronics with ephemeral snippets of re-tuned piano; other are perfectly-crafted solo piano compositions that exploit harmonic resonances to evoke different moods. The music was inspired by painting, sculpture and film by artists Jo Baer, Henry Moore and Michael Haneke.
