Harold Budd (born May 24, 1936) is an American avant-garde composer and poet. He was born in Los Angeles, and raised in the Mojave Desert. He has developed a style of playing piano he terms "soft pedal".
Education and academic career
Budd's career as a composer began in 1962. In the following years, he gained a notable reputation in the local avant-garde community. In 1966, he graduated from the University of Southern California (having studied under Ingolf Dahl) with a degree in musical composition. As he progressed, his compositions became increasingly minimalist. Among his more experimental works were two drone music pieces, "Coeur d'Orr" and "The Oak of the Golden Dreams". After composing a long-form gong solo titled "Lirio", he felt he had reached the limits of his experiments in minimalism and the avant-garde. He retired temporarily from composition in 1970 and began a teaching career at the California Institute of the Arts.[1]
"The road from my first colored graph piece in 1962 to my renunciation of composing in 1970 to my resurfacing as a composer in 1972 was a process of trying out an idea and when it was obviously successful abandoning it. The early graph piece was followed by the Rothko orchestra work, the pieces for Source Magazine, the Feldman-derived chamber works, the pieces typed out or written in longhand, the out-and-out conceptual works among other things, and the model drone works (which include the sax and organ "Coeur d'Orr" and "The Oak of the Golden Dreams", the latter based on the Balinese "Slendro" scale which scale I used again 18 years later on "The Real Dream of Sails").
Bella Vista is a small city in southeastern Tucumán Province, Argentina. It is located 25km (16mi) south of the provincial capital of Tucumán.
Overview
Known in its early years as Los Tres Bajos ("The Three Hollows"), Bella Vista grew around the sugar plantation of the same name. Founded in the early twentieth century by Manuel García Fernández, the plantation became known for his efforts to diversify its crop production. Faced with falling sugar prices, García invested in ethyl alcohol and cellulose production, as well as a silkworm farm. García also established a planned community for his employees, consisting of a row of homes lining Avenida de las Moreras, and with the establishment of the Norwinco match factory and other employers, Bella Vista became a small urban center by the time García's farm was sold during a sugar commodity market crisis in 1965.
Luis "Lucho" Díaz, the town Justice of the Peace during the 1960s, was a published poet who contributed significantly to Bella Vista's cultural life, helping establish the Centro Juvenil Cultural and the Teatro Vocacional de Bella Vista. The late 1960s, which coincided with the President Juan Carlos Onganía's cancellation of sugar subsidies, and the resulting closure of numerous large mills, also made the town a center of labor union activity. Led by a Bella Vista local, Atilio Santillán, the Sugar Workers' Federation of Tucumán (FOTIA) grew to include over 70,000 members. Opposition from Tucumán authorities led to their persecution during the Operativo Independencia offensive of 1975, in addition to which a conflict with the far-left People's Revolutionary Army (ERP) band arose, leading to Santillán's death on March 22, 1976 (an unsolved mystery). The sugar mill, which had been purchased by the CONASA state sugar concern in 1973, was privatized in 1977.

Harold Budd: Bell Tower (from the album 'La Bella Vista')
'Bell Tower' is the opening piece on the 2005 album ' La Bella Vista'. I think of it as a pair with the following piece ('Campanile', which you'll also find on my channel).
The whole album was recorded by Daniel Lanois, unknown to Harold Budd, as he sat improvising at the piano in his living room in 2003.

Βαθιά στο δήθεν παράστημα.

Πρωταγωνιστούν σε ένα λάθος.
