Description:

The Latest Album from One of Todays Most Promising Composers and ArtistsBritish composer and artist Peter Gregson is one of todays most promising figures in the field. *Patina* is his new album, following his debut recording for DG in 2018.His fifth studio album, *Patina*, is his most personal work to date.The idea of presence through absence is central to the composition of every track on *Patina*.Once he begins writing a piece, Gregson takes his time removing the main melody to observe how the harmonies, basslines, and textures rearrange themselves in the resulting gaps.
