"The scores of composer Michael Fine are born from his improvisations on the piano and are nourished by his travels and his readings: his music derives from a poetic imagination and carries therefore lots of visual evocations. From Korea and its palaces (At the Gate) to Scotland and the writer Alexander McCall Smith (Brother Fox), the world and its landscapes pass by over the seasons (Seasonal Rites) as you listen to it.
A sound immersion all the more successful that Michael Fine is also a Grammy-winning producer for his expertise in sound recording.
What's more, as himself a performer, Michael Fine has written music for musicians. And this recording is the faithful testimony of a collective adventure where musicians share their pleasure to play and then offer it to the public."
