Winter Music by Richard Pinhas
Richard Pinhas is a guitarist, synthesist and composer who has been a pioneer of the French music scene for over fifty years. From his works in the 70’s with the legendary progressive electronic rock band Heldon to his latest releases with experimental artists from around the world, Richard is a true artist who can both play a bad ass guitar and also explore its sonic boundaries.
1979’s “Iceland” was his third solo release and the first after the breakup of his band Heldon. A track originally recorded for the “Iceland” sessions, “Winter Music was shelved at the time for reasons unknown. Using the original looping procedures of the past made popular in the rock world by Fripp & Eno, Richard performed the song by hand-playing a PolyMoog directly into 2 Revox A700’s tape recorders. This is its debut on vinyl.
Showing the minimalism and calm of the beginning of 70’s ambient music, the 2023 remix of this song brings new colors and flavors not heard in the original. Like a great black and white photograph, it takes you back in a time cloud full of depth and reflections. Essential ambient listening.
