Track 8 from the Cloudland Blue Quartet LP "Dissolution III"

This is the third album in the "Dissolution" series from Cloudland Blue Quartet. The LPs comprise improvised piano pieces and ambience.

It follows on from the success of the LPs "Dissolution", released in April 2021 and "Dissolution II" released in April 2022, both still available on Bandcamp.

As with CBQ's "Classical" series ("Satie", "Cage", "Beethoven", "Schoenberg/Webern/Berg", "Haydn", "Wagner" and the soon to be released "Bartok") and the guitarscape series "Disquietmusik" (Volumes I-VI, with Volume VII due at the end of 2023), it is hoped this series of albums will continue into the future.
