Solo Roger Eno

A lovely solo piano piece from Roger Eno, “Alembic Distillation,” appears in advance of his forthcoming album, Without Wind / Without Air, due out October 31, 2025. The album features a host of collaborators (among them soprano Grace Davidson, sisters/vocalists Cecily and Lotti Eno, Jonathan Stockhammer conducting the Scoring Berlin strings, and musician/arranger Christian Badzura). This, however, is just Eno (younger brother by more than a decade to Brian) on his lonesome. I particularly love solo compositions that feel almost like sonic essays, and that’s what you hear here, themes explored for what they are: ideas in the form of sound.
