Budd’s music, always spacious,
often minimalist with a distinctive sparse beauty, was inspired
by a boyhood spent listening to the buzz of telephone wires
near his home in the Mojave Desert town of Victoriaville,
California (though he was born in nearby Los Angeles).
As a pianist and composer he first came
to prominence in 1978 with his album “Pavilion of Dreams”
produced by Brian Eno and with a line-up which included composer
Gavin Bryars. His career has led him in various directions,
including film music and collaborations with a range of artists,
not least the seminal 80s band, the Cocteau Twins, whose joint
album The Moon and the Melodies won him many fans in the independent
rock underground.
Though Harold has been writing music
for film he had retired from public performance. This will
be an unmissable opportunity to see Harold Budd play solo
for this unique concert with OCM in the historic and atmospheric
Holywell Music Room.
