Bio
Born in Los Angeles, California May 24th, 1936, passed away in Arcadia, California December 8, 2020, due to complications from COVID-19.
Harold Budd has more than 30 solo recordings and collaborations to his credit, from solo piano pieces to densely orchestrated compositions. His love of jazz (he briefly played drums with saxophonist Albert Ayler while serving in the Army) led Harold to get a degree in music composition. He released his second record, the Coltrane-inspired The Pavilion of Dreams, on Brian Eno's Obscure label in 1978 and was still musically active until late in his life.
