Review: Through labels like the charismatic and genre-defining Sub Rosa, David Shea has been quietly releasing ground breaking modern classical music since the mid 1990s, which makes him a veteran of the genre. Many producers have tried to emulate this sort of style, this sort of take on electronic music, but few manage to come up with something fresh and alluring like Shea. Piano I is out on Australia's Room40 - a perfect landing destination for this cinematic LP - and as the title suggests, Shea focusses on the pianoforte as the main instrument to guide the minimal wave of dreary-eyed sonics that circle in mid-air. It's a pensive piece, and one that should be enjoyed with attention and care...kind of like a good bottle of red wine.
