Piano Composed is Howard Jones third pianobased album. With this collection, he has taken a different approach to the first two which were oneoff improvisations on piano. His friend BT encouraged him to compose a piano piece every day. Over a period of time, Howard accumulated about 1520 pieces that he thought he could develop. During the lockdown period of time, he spent several months polishing the pieces into ten finished tracks that he was happy with. With these pieces, Howard felt that it was important to preserve the nuance of natural tempo fluctuations whilst at the same time be able to translate the pieces into readable notation. As a result, Howards good friend and amazing concert pianist Peter Noke has transcribed five of the pieces in playable notation that are within a 36page booklet which is included within this release. Therefore, making them available for people to play on their own instruments. This album had brought together two of Howards passions playing piano and electronic composition.
Heavyweight vinyl is pressed on thicker, denser material—typically weighing 180 grams or more. This added weight offers improved durability, reduced warping, and is often believed to provide better sound quality due to more stable playback. Many audiophile releases, reissues, and deluxe editions are pressed on heavyweight vinyl, making it a popular choice among collectors and music enthusiasts who value both performance and longevity. While it doesn’t automatically guarantee superior audio, its solid, premium feel and association with high-quality production standards have made it a trusted format for serious vinyl fans.
Vinyl records are a timeless format that continues to captivate music lovers with their warm, analogue sound. Unlike digital formats, vinyl offers a rich, textured listening experience that many argue feels more authentic and immersive. With their larger artwork and tangible presence, records bring a sense of nostalgia and artistry to any music collection.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or new to the world of vinyl, records have a unique ability to connect listeners to music on a deeper level. Their physical grooves and the ritual of placing a needle on a spinning disc create a tactile and engaging experience. From classic albums to modern releases, vinyl remains a cherished way to enjoy music.
