MUSIC REVIEWS FROM ISSUE 31 - November 2005 "Beautiful. Aaaahhh. What a breath of fresh air. After endless pop records I finally get this deep, gentle, moving piano solo music! This is a work of six original etudes for piano, each titled, simply, Etude 1, Etude 2...and so on. Simple but breathtakingly beautiful, this is tryly a work of classical magnitude. And how wonderful is it that this serence set of piano etudes has been self-produced and independently marketed? How DIY; how punk-rock! If you are a fan of the works of Chopin, Liszt and Glass, you'll be grateful that Andrew Shapiro has emerged from the woodwork, as it were, and graced us philistines with such sublime work." --Kent Meinhart |
MUSIC REVIEWS FROM ISSUE 33 - January 2006 "Andrew Shapiro is a musical wunderkind of sorts. This EP, "Invisible Days," is a breath of fresh air; dreamy fluid, brilliant. Unlike his previous solo piano recording, which was all solo classical piano originals, this recording is more along the lines of Brian Eno or Jon Hassell with vocals. Helping out on vocals is Keisha Hutchins, who breathes fascinating life with her beautiful voice. Also playing flute is Peter Hess. Shapiro sings a little and plays all of the keyboards. A versatile and talented musician, Shapiro is one to watch out for." --Kent Meinhart |
