Mr Budd has given me years of listening pleasure and inspiration, maintaining a special place in the heart. I would like to have met him and thanked him personally.
Someone on this thread referred to Budd as a "Savant", and I could not agree more - he really didn't know WTF he was doing most of the time! This is "LIVE" - and there are so many weak moments where there is no development of ANYTHING! And yet the host of the program, fawns all over this SLOP! It is his association with Eno that put him in the spotlight, and..."The Pearl" was the ONE album I can listen to in its entirety. He is certainly not an innovator! Satie was an Innovator, as was the Spaniard - Mompou. I think Harold Budd was a very lucky dude that Daniel Lanois, and Eno took notice. That minor 6th harmonic shift...Budd does this in almost every piece - Really? Thank God for real Pianist, such as Paul Bley, Keith Jarrett, and John Taylor! - and Composers like Ravel, Debussy, Charles Koechlin (his "Persian Hours" is much more deep, and explorative!), and Gavin Bryars. I will admit - Harold Budd is great to Sleep to!
I don't understand your comment. Please post a link to your improvised piano performance so that I can hear what truly great music sounds like. I'll wait.
There is room in this world for restraint. There is room in this world for creating a mood with your art, and doing so in your own way. You might not "get it", but plenty of us do. Relax.
People like you who feel this seemingly inescapable urge to shout about what they don't like into the void of the internet are simply fools. There's a much deeper problem here, but that's no one's responsibility except your own.

Such a loss in music. His music absolutely Beautiful. RIP Harold. 😥😢
Harold Budd has always been a favourite musician of mine. He is totally unique in his style of playing. Musical art at its finest. ❤
Is it just me or does anyone else feel harold budd is like david lynch? but for music?
Never forgotten. He effectively wrote the book on ambient piano.
Señor Budd, lo extraño maestro. Espero que sus melodías estén tocando en el cielo.
One of one.A savant.
Absolutely agree with "Savant"!
Su disco con Brian Eno la fantástica first light es increíble
The Pearl.Fantastico.
We can hope that there is some unreleased Budd music out there somewhere that will come out in the future. Guthrie? Clive Wright?
El príncipe de los dedos de seda y pedal suave
un gran ambiente....
Great stuff, although an encore of Children on the Hill would always be welcome!
22:53 reminds me a lot of the track Anish Kapoor off of his album Luxa
Too bad, that improvisation is almost forbidden by now, just as being slow, long and quiet.
