La Bella Vista
Minimalist composer Harold Budd is perhaps best known for his collaborations over time with Brian Eno, Robin Guthrie of the Cocteau Twins, and Andy Partridge of XTC. Over the span of his music career beginning which began at age 36 when he earned a degree in Musical Composition, he released over thirteen albums and appeared on many more.   Harold Budd is unique as an avant-garde pianist and composer who has earned critical respect and commercial success. Budd’s sparse, tonal wash approach was said to have been inspired by the buzz of telephone wires near his boyhood home in the Mojave Desert. Budd is unquestionably one of the significant figures of modern neo-classical music.
