about

Quiet, tender, searching, tactile. Very quiet, and with purpose. Up to six melodies on piano, each played by one hand, independent, coming together.

Inspiration: working in and listening to Appalachian Ohio. Landscape and labor, sense and sensuous: yes, the work is easier with many hands, but the connections are stronger, too.

Praise for "Many Hands":
“4/5 STARS - Stripped to the bone, the music of Brian Harnetty both reveals its flaws and knows how to be welcoming. ...this record has the virtue of reminding us that contemplation is an active and encompassing process, far removed from reverie and torpor. ...To contemplate is to be one with the moment and the person who speaks to us." - Greg Bod, Benzine Magazine, France

Past critical praise:
"5/5 STARS - Harnetty's delicate, keening chamber folk recalls Moondog, Charles Ives, and his old mentor, [Michael] Finnissy, yet retains a benevolent delicacy all of its own, gently reaching back into time and guiding these long-dead story-tellers into the light of the present day." - Andrew Male, MOJO Magazine (UK)

“The more I feel unable to figure it out, the more I like the work... Harnetty’s created modern art out of regional history.”
— Justin Cober-Lake, Dusted (US)

“5/6 STARS - It is music that opens a door into an unknown room.”
— Frank Sawatzki, Musikexpress (Germany)
