Starts off with a very mellow extended drone piece but then the 3rd track become an amazing and at times almost terrifying strings assault. Still has it's quieter bits though. Superb.
Favorite track: Suite for String Quartet.

From the first notes I was spellbound. This austere and contemplative masterpiece ranks alongside the solo piano works of Satie, Young, Budd and Riley for its gravitas, mystery and poignant beauty. A landmark recording. Ferrara Brain Pan

Had the pleasure of attending Andy Lee's performance world premiere of "pianist, alone (2)" at CalArts in September 2013. Hearing it again now, it re-strikes me as uniquely, if quietly, stunning. Man music mechanism: all engaged in a pure probing of sonic possibility. Essential, restrained, ultimately rapturous. George Wallace
