The Woodcutter by Adrian Lane

Composer and sound artist Adrian Lane is proud to announce the release of his latest album, a deeply immersive work that blends neo-classical textures with ambient soundscapes and evocative field recordings. The inspiration for the album emerged unexpectedly while chopping wood in his mother's countryside garden—a moment that sparked a fascination with the raw, organic sounds of nature.
“I was struck by the rhythm and resonance of the wood,” Lane recalls. “It felt musical, so I began recording those sounds as potential percussion elements. That led me to explore the surrounding area further, capturing the subtle sonic nuances of the landscape.”
The result is a collection of pieces that push the boundaries of Lane’s previous work. Particularly in Part One, listeners will find extended compositions that unfold slowly and deliberately, inviting deep reflection. The album features a rich palette of piano and strings, interwoven with more abrasive textures from bowed guitar and bowed psaltery, adding emotional tension and contrast. Subtle electronic elements provide an undercurrent of modernity, while the field recordings anchor the music in a tangible sense of place.
This album marks a bold evolution in Lane’s artistic journey—melding the serenity of the natural world with the expressive power of classical instrumentation and experimental sound design.
