Celesta is a collection of Fink’s alluring, elegant new celesta solos (all previously unrecorded pieces), performed by the composer. This set of pieces, taken as a whole, as a suite, is perhaps the largest statement for the celesta as a solo instrument. (Beautifully recorded on one of LA’s finest five-octave Schiedmayer celestas.)

Fink’s characteristically reductive but expressive music has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “lustrous,” “metaphysically tinged,” and “unapologetically tranquil.” LA Weekly has written that his music is “of ethereal simplicity . . . he has shaped and refined his spare style greatly—it is distinctly his own.”

“There’s something of Gavin Bryars’ evanescent emotional skill to Fink’s music, something of the soft spatial blur of the Evanses (Bill and Gil) … what gets me every time is its sheer and honest beauty.”—Misfit City (UK)
