Recorded over ten days in St Paul and Minneapolis (USA), Invisible Wilderness is a diverse double volume solo album featuring a collection of Rae Howell’s original piano and keyboard works from contemporary, popular and cinematic styles to jazz infused improvisations.
Complete with hand drawn illustrations (by Sandy Smith), Invisible Wilderness: Volume I was recorded on a Steinway concert grand (sheet music also available), whilst Volume II is more abstract, sidestepping the traditional piano sound, performed on a Fender Rhodes and various upright ramshackle pianos that immerse the listener in different textures, including the hammers, felts and pedalling (featuring the natural reverb of the sostenuto and celeste pedals).
This digital mp3 version consists of one large zip file containing both volumes.
