An ideal accompaniment for any meditation, however that may manifest itself in your day, Rob Collier’s Ten Simple Pieces for Piano is an exercise in elegance. Collier shows a deft hand at piano, focusing on simple motifs and chord arrangements that play as much to the melody as the space between the notes. The fair comparison here would be to composers like Harold Budd or Brian Eno, especially in that his compositions illustrate the concept of remaining as ignorable as they are interesting. Unlike either composer, Collier infuses his work with an emotional core that is a bit less vague — there is an unflinching sense of melancholy, just tonally distant enough that you can use the music as a reflection of your own mood.
