Tom Rogerson With Brian Eno Finding Shore

A collaboration between an improvising pianist and the ambient icon yields an unusual fusion of acoustic and electronic ideas - a meeting of minds that is full of rewarding surprises.
On the resulting album, Finding Shore, Rogerson is simply credited with "notes" and Eno with "sounds," with no further explanation, leaving it up to the listener to guess what went on in the studio. Like Ryuichi Sakamoto's async, Finding Shore seems to find magic in everyday objects and scenes. The pieces have scenic titles like "Idea of Order at Kyson Point" and "Marsh Chorus," and they all serve as simple yet surreal sound paintings, exploring minimal melodies and atmospheric elements…

Dead Oceans is happy to welcome the pianist Tom Rogerson to the roster. His elegant and evocative debut, Finding Shore, a 13-track collaboration that began after Rogerson met Brian Eno outside the toilets after a gig, arrives December 8th.
