While William Eggleston (born 1939) needs little introduction as a master of color photography, few are aware of his fine ability as a pianist. Musik (Vinyl) , consisting of two vinyl LPs, is only the second, and the most elaborate, publication of his musical recordings to date. Performed in the 1980s on his Korg OW/1 FD Pro keyboard synthesizer and stored on floppy disks since, revealed here are pieces by Eggleston's favorite composers across genres--from Beethoven and Chopin to Gilbert and Sullivan, from jazz to reggae--as well as improvisations of considerable brio. Accompanied by a booklet of photos showing Eggleston while playing, Musik (Vinyl) reveals hitherto unknown facets of his creativity, and is part of Steidl's plan to publish Eggleston's complete works: his books, music and a future release of his 1974 video Stranded in Canton .
