Rob Ellis - Music For The Home Vol II [CD] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Three years after the release of the first volume of Music For The Home, this is the second solo album from Rob Ellis.
Elliss solo work is intensely personal in nature. A companion piece to Vol. 1, the album opens a treasure chest of archive recordings spanning a decade, documenting a turbulent period in his domestic life.
Where the first Music For The Home consisted almost entirely of pieces created and edited inside a computer, this album includes many piano pieces recorded live. A self-taught pianist, Elliss idiosyncratic approach to composition has drawn comparisons to the work of Messaien, Reich and Cage among others. The album also utilises domestic recordings and concrËte techniques, notably on the remarkable Church Opposite, which uses the sounds of church bells to startling effect.
