Heinali - Brave Little Heart
https://heinali.bandcamp.com/track/brave-little-heart
 
I discovered that Heinali has a YouTube channel and ended up listening to this song again. I've been working on a piano piece recently that I was inspired to write after listening to Steve Reich after having not heard his music in a while. Tonally the song is however more reminiscent of piano pieces by Philip Glass, mainly his Metamorphosis. After listening to this song again, I now realize that compositionally it is however most akin to Heinali's minimal style here, even if I wasn't conscious of it before now. I guess I would consider it a crossbreed between Brave Little Heart and Metamorphosis, with my own personal touches. I thought this half-jokingly at first, but the more time has gone on, the more I'm beginning to think the kind of music I want to play is something I'd like to refer to as "progressive minimalism". It sounds like a funny concept, but it's very representative of how my mind works, refusing to focus on one direction for too long and seeking stability, yet at the same time craving it.

  I emptied my 160GB classic because I ran out of space for FLAC, so now I'm slowly replacing everything with 320kbps MP3. As such, I've been able to rediscover a few old albums from the first couple letters of the alphabet the last two days, including this one:
 
 
Everything All The Time by Band of Horses

Haunting and beautiful.

And here something more audiophile: (make sure to listen in from 13:00 to 20:00)
 
 
 
Above audio quality does not do the instrument justice, so here is more from this great artist:

My personal favorite album of theirs is Cease to Begin, but Everything All The Time definitely has a more serious and layered atmosphere to it than the more folky sound of CtB. I think the band's sound changes enough from album to album that there's a lot to like about each of their releases for very different reasons.
