Bio / info
Harold Budd (May 24, 1936 – December 8, 2020) had more than 30 solo recordings and collaborations to his credit, from solo piano pieces to densely orchestrated compositions. Born in Los Angeles, his love of jazz (he briefly played drums with saxophonist Albert Ayler while serving in the Army) led Harold to get a degree in music composition. He released his first record, the Coltrane-inspired The Pavilion of Dreams, on Brian Eno's Obscure label in 1978 and remained active until his 2004 retirement, though he did continue with occasional collaborations after that. He died in 2020 of complications from COVID-19.
