Tiento de la Luz by Thomas Köner

Although Köner has received a fair share of recognition this 2016 release seems to have slipped under the radar. He’s been at it a long time and Tiento de la Luz - google translates it as “touch of light” and according to the label website, “A tiento is a form of keyboard music that originated in Spain in the mid-15th century.” https://denovali.com/thomaskoner/ - some of this is very melodically expressive and relatively much more accessible in a manner that reminds me of more pared down Sigur Rós but other parts a very stark, spare, and abstract. Recognition or not this is a top 2016 release from an unassailable composer who claims that music does not exist.
