Jonas Reinhardt - Palace Savant (2015) [Official Digital Download]

Helping listeners to escape reality - which has been known to grate, on occasion - has long been a noble aim of many musicians. One of the most effective ways to do that is to create imaginary soundtracks for impossible science-fiction films, the darker and more un-Hollywood-like, the better. Another method is to take inspiration from great works of architecture - which, as Goethe cogently noted, “is frozen music”. The latter route is used by Brooklyn producer Jonas Reinhardt (aka Jesse Reiner) on his sixth album, "Palace Savant".
