How beautiful!A track from my favourite Budd-related album too,just perfect.Thank you!

Outstanding and Beautiful! wish you could do a rendention of Still Return,my fave of The Pearl. p.s: keep the good work!

As thrilled as I was to be invited to support American pianist Harold Budd in London in April 2018, for his first show there in 17 years, I was equally dispirited by the cancellation of the event suddenly last week.

In the absence of this live show then here's a version of a piece I intended to perform on the night itself as a little tribute to Budd, and for the audience. I hope you will enjoy it and imagine sitting in a Church in London, only the creaking of the wooden benches and occasional shoe shuffles and coughs as your only other sonic distraction.

It's a version of his tune Late October, originally heard on The Pearl (1984), in collaboration with Brian Eno and produced by Daniel Lanois.

For Harold

Late October

Robin Rimbaud (Scanner) is an artist and composer working in the UK, whose works traverse the experimental terrain between sound, space, and image, connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres – a partial list would include sound design, film scores, computer music, avant garde, contemporary composition, large-scale multimedia performances, product design, architecture, fashion design, rock music and jazz.

Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, installations and recordings, the albums Mass Observation (1994), Delivery (1997), and The Garden is Full of Metal (1998) hailed by critics as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music. He scored the hit musical comedy Kirikou & Karaba (2007), designed the sound for the new Philips Wake-Up Light (2009), and campaigns for Stella McCartney (2017), Chanel’s Fall-Winter collection (2012) and Jaguar (2014).

In 2019 he designed the sound for the Cisco telephone systems used in offices around the world, whilst his sound work in Vex House in London was voted as RIBA House of the Year. His work Salles des Departs is permanently installed in a working morgue in Paris.

Committed to working with cutting edge practitioners he has collaborated with Bryan Ferry, Dangermouse, Coil, Laurie Anderson, Carsten Nicolai, The Royal Ballet, Wayne McGregor, Merce Cunningham, Hermes, Hussein Chalayan, Philips Design, Mike Kelley, and Miroslaw Balka. His work has been presented throughout the United States, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
