why we love this

There’s a wondrous structure to the loops and resulting emotions Phillip evokes. High and low notes create a concentric outer curtain wall of sturdy, albeit uneasy, fortitude, while the inner ring allows room for subtle variation—a structure of varying tonality. What lies within these walls of pianos—a peaceful castle or an empty space—is for the listener to discover.

about the record

A beautifully meditative and architectural set of loops for solo piano, Filters is the solo debut of pianist and composer Phillip Golub. Approaching the concept of endless repetition through the prism of his radiant pianism, Golub’s loops unite the austerity of the systems-based with the infinite variety and imagination of live performance.
