Composers Benjamin Louis Brody and Eliot Krimsky unveil their album Shared Spaces, available on all major streaming platforms and as a limited-edition cassette from Bathysphere Records. This neoclassical journey delves into emotional landscapes and the communities we forge in times of loss, grief, and healing. Connecting from opposite coasts, Brody (LA) and Krimsky (NY) blend found sounds, keyboards, brass, and treated piano into six transcendent tracks, using the acoustics of their studios as instruments. The album is elegant, restrained, and ethereal—the spiritual cousin of Budd & Eno’s The Pearl, Jean-Jacques Perrey’s Prelude au Sommeil, and Ian William Craig’s Centres. Brody and Krimsky create a sonic space for listeners to connect in a reflective moment of shared experience.
‘Whilst immersive, there’s a sullen thread that holds these six pieces together on Shared Spaces. Brody and Krimsky cover a wide area across the experimental landscape’
