Harold Budd passed into the great unknown on December 10th, 2020. Yes, it was fucking COVID-19. As you can see from the mass of links above, he's one of my favorite artists, and I would be remiss to not mark the occasion. Here's his two-part collaboration with John Foxx who, aside from his work as a new wave/synthpop artist, is an accomplished ambient musician in his own right. Translucence is all gorgeous, impossibly tranquil piano pieces echoing through a shimmering ambient haze, then Drift Music zooms in on the haze. Godspeed, Mr. Budd, on your journey to the pavilion of dreams.
