Thanks early birds and thanks to Ollie for the UA.
Knowing absolutely nothing about this composer, I turned to everyone's friend, Wiki.
This is what they have to say:
Quote:Arvo Pärt (Estonian, born 11 September 1935) is an Estonian composer of classical and religious music. Since the late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs his self-invented compositional technique, tintinnabuli. Pärt's music is in part inspired by Gregorian chant. His most performed works include Fratres (1977), Spiegel im Spiegel (1978), and Für Alina (1976). Since 2011 Pärt has been the most performed living composer in the world.

super simplicity. Like an absorption spectrum jumbled.
Thanks again folks.
The music is austere, spare; individual notes breaking the silence. That's what I see in the colours.

Got loads of his stuff, love it. Gregorian Chant for the 21st Century.
Beautiful...
A lovely and different piece of abstract work, and sounds to be a great experience 👍
