about

Taking his cues from Debussy and Chopin, composer Kevin Keller filters Impressionist- and Romantic-infused melodies through modern electronics to create beautifully lush, and decidedly contemporary, music for the piano on "Nocturnes".

The ten nocturnes were inspired by the work of San Francisco photographer Seth Dickerman, whose "metamorphic landscapes" were created in moonlight or under low-light conditions, capturing surreal images that were only revealed once he returned to the darkroom. Mirroring this creative process, Keller recorded improvisations at the piano and then "treated" them in his studio, using digital effects to change the sound of the piano into waves, wind, and clouds. About this album, Keller says "I think of this music as a continuation of the process that Seth began almost 20 years ago, when he stood out under the night sky with his camera and captured those fleeting moments in time."

Each of Dickerman's ten images is included in a digital booklet, available with full album purchase.

One of my favorite Jeff Pearce albums, I bought this on CD when it was released, but it's nice to have as a download to listen to on my phone, as well. I love the way Snowfall rocks out, definitely a different direction for Jeff, but done very tastefully. I know that Jeff is influenced by the woods and open sky where he lives - I too live in a rural area, and I feel like his music really reflects that. mysticwolf75

Excellent work by Jeff, as always. I've never stopped coming back to 'The Same Stars' for a listen when I'm in need of a bit of serenity and inspiration. Superb. cosmicicecube
