Piano Studies 337 Vinyl
Nyland, a Columbia-educated chemist turned self-taught pianist, emerges from the shadow of George Gurdjieff as a spiritual maestro in his own right. In the mid to late 1960s, Nyland embarked on his own mystical path, captivating listeners in upstate New York with soulful improvisations on a specially tuned baby grand piano. These impromptu sessions, post-lecture and post-brandy, were recorded and pressed on Nyland's own Gauge Hill Press label, marrying sound and spirit in a singular artistic vision.
This remastered release, the first since the original standalone LPs, unveils the cosmic charm of Nyland's creations. Each recording, with cover art by Ilonka Karasz, Nyland's wife and muse, presents a tapestry of cascading notes, mirroring the profound depths of Nyland's inner explorations. The album resonates with the free-flowing emotions and musical moods, transitioning seamlessly in a lyrically visual, instrumental storytelling style that invites introspection and inspiration.
With fresh liner notes from Matt Marble of the American Museum of Paramusicology, the significance of Piano Studies 337 is underscored for new listeners and seasoned collectors alike. Immerse yourself in Nyland's poignant, improvisational masterpieces that transcend time, offering both a sonic sanctuary and a spiritual companion.
