The first international press coverage on the recently released album Onward with works by Heather Pinkham has already appeared: Italian newspaper La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno published an extended article by pianist and writer Emanuele Arciuli, praising Pinkham’s artistic voice. Some quotes:
“Top composer quoting The Beatles’
“And when you listen to Heather’s pieces, which, among other things, are splendidly played, you understand why:
Pinkham’s style carries on the legacy of a certain American music: you can hear West Coast echoes of Lou Harrison and Harold Budd (after all, Pinkham is also Californian) […], synthesizing them with an absolutely personal voice that welcomes pop influences […] without ever trivializing them, but rather wrapping the themes in refined, cultured writing”
“Colors, rhythms, harmonies, groove, in this music there is truly a universe destined to make its mark on the current scene, with authority.”
“I wouldn’t be surprised if, on listening to this CD, people decided to listen to it again, and again.”
