The second solo album by Roger Eno for Deutsche Grammophon invites listeners to reflect on the nature of sound and silence. The skies, they shift like chords contains a dozen pieces that express nostalgia for something lost while projecting a sense of timelessness, like the renewal of the seasons or the rise and fall of breath. The composer-pianist builds here on the sound world of The Turning Year, his first solo album for DG, adding layers of instrumental and electronic colors and including a song for his eldest daughter, the artist, singer, and image-maker Cecily Eno. The Skies, They Shift Like Chords connects to universal feelings of place and home. It also reflects the particular roots of Roger Eno's music in rural eastern England, a landscape shaped by centuries of agriculture and marked in recent decades by diminishing biodiversity and troubling ecological changes.
