Helen Jane Long - To Dust

Helen Jane Long blurs the boundaries between classical, chill out and film music.

Helen Jane Long has worked on numerous advertisements and films – including as music assistant to Howard Shore on his epic score to The Lord of the Rings trilogy. She also became known on set for supplying the cast and crew with brownies and pancakes.

Her own compositions are simple and delicate, and this popular piece – taken from her 2010 album Embers – sums up the best of Long’s beautiful piano writing.

She describes her work as blurring the boundaries between classical, chill out, and film music to create an 'indefinable combination of music minimalism' - but one thing's for sure, the twinkling piano tunes in combination with reflective string music will stop you in your tracks.
