notes

Pianist/composer Seth Osburn defies easy categorization. His intricate compositions fuse classical structures, minimalist motifs, jazz-style rhythmic textures, and the epic leanings of nineteenth century Romanticism. The musical outcome is simultaneously thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. This is not new age feel-good music, but the innovative sound of an artist seeking to forge new musical landscapes.

"Seth has a deep connection with the piano and expresses all that anyone could possibly want-anger, joy, sorrow, sadness, tranquility, and peace... He stretches the boundaries of the piano as an instrument. SEVEN is one of the best instrumental (solo or otherwise) albums I've ever heard."
-Meishel Menachekanian, KCSN-FM, Los Angeles

"SEVEN is an incredible piece for solo piano... This music takes you on a journey through the depths of material and spiritual existence. A classically trained pianist, Seth is both a true virtuoso and a very sensitive player."
-Rocco Somazzi, Rocco's, Hollywood

"Seth is a complete master of the piano. He plays with such physical and emotional intensity that the piano produces deep resonating sounds that most people would have never expected. These powerful chords carry the vibrational energy of alchemical transformation... This young composer has obviously lived these processes and has successfully translated them into the popular vernacular of music. Just listening to this remarkable recording is a soul-shattering and spirit-raising experience."
-Dennis William Hauck, author, The Emerald Tablet: Alchemy for Personal Transformation

  • Fascinating work. Amazing performance. Well worth investigating
    author: Peter Cook

    I had heard the extracts that are available on the site for this disc, and was fascinated. Having heard the disc three times in the last two days, I can say that it is all that I expected and much more. The booklet notes are a very good guide as to the thought behind the work, and help you through it, but it also stands on it's own as a remarkable piece of music, and the performance is truly stunning. If you like virtuoso piano playing, that is reason enough, but the music goes much deeper than just surface glitter. A most fascinating journey.

    This musical meditation of original piano works, based on the Seven Stages of Alchemical Transformation, is a result of two years of research and composition, taking the listener on a transcendental journey through light and dark. Spanning con fuoco Scriabin-like rantings to neo-Impressionist Ravel-like ponderings, every exploration is mesmerizing.

There are many levels in which this work has the power to resonate,and reveals something new with each listening.
