Morris has confirmed details of an expansive new album, 12 Pieces for Piano & Strings, his first fresh studio material since 2022’s Selected Ambient Works series and 2021’s Goombawave series, and his first full-length album of orchestral music.
Unfolding at an unhurried, meditative pace in a celebration of tone, timbre, and texture – and thus of sound itself – 12 Pieces for Piano & Strings offers an unusually immersive experience. “My constant inspiration,” Morris explains, “was something as mesmerizing as watching water collect in the basin of my plants or the leaves on a tree in a storm. It’s good we have symphonies and music where there’s a development, but a waterfall doesn’t need an Act 1, 2, 3, then an outcome, nor do the leaves on a tree in a storm. Some people like watching the leaves rustle and the branches move. This record is for them”.
Recorded between 2012 and 2023 at dozens of studios across America, the album will be released in April as a CD and via all streaming platforms. The first single Inner City is available to listen now.
