Peter Scott Lewis, born in San Rafael, California in 1953, is one of those US composers who subtly combine observation of nature and sound art. His musical language oscillates between impressionistic color and pointed modernity – always with an ear for the landscapes of the American West. The new album "Pacific Triptych,"recorded by New York pianist Blair McMillen, revolves around the vast spaces of the Pacific. In the title cycle, a three-movement work originally intended for orchestra, here in the 2019 piano version, spray, fog, and light spread out in a vibrant sonic discourse. 

Alongside these are miniatures: the "Seven Nuggets" sparkle as brief snapshots – meditative, playful, eruptive. Even more narrative is "AnAmerican Travelogue (Book 1)," a four-part travelogue that musically guides you through the American Southwest – rhythmically striking, melodically interspersed with Latin American influences. 

Blair McMillen, trained at Juilliard and Harvard, among others, and a distinguished interpreter of contemporary music for years, brings these pieces to life with astonishing technique and sonic imagination. A recording that not only illustrates Lewis's world of natural sound, but also brings it to life in a suggestive way.
