Floating Points’ 2021 album “Promises” is a singular, meditative work that stretches a single harmonic idea across its runtime. It arrived as a surprise collaboration with legendary Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra.
- The album was recorded with Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra, though the latter’s contributions were heavily processed.
- Pitchfork’s best new music, who called it “a stunning testament to the power of restraint.”
- The album’s central musical motif is a repeating eight-note pattern.
Floating Points is the electronic music project of British artist Sam Shepherd. He is known for blending elements of jazz, classical, and techno into his work.
