Pianist/composer Rick Cutler goes solo here, and he creates a warm and intimate mood with his collection of originals. Reflective and ruminating pieces permeate the release, with patient and private sounds emanating from his hands on “ Painted Air Delusions” or the stately “Please You Freely.” Reflective sounds on “From the Silence” or “Morning Song” contrast with a more ominous “Robbery At Midnight,” and the complex “A Sideways Glance” demonstrates his digital prowess. Well contrived.
