Wayne Phoenix

Pianist, composer, and producer Wayne Phoenix’s 2020 debut was ten years in the making. The event that inspired ‘soaring wayne phoenix story the earth and sky’ took place in 2009, when Richard, a severely autistic, non-verbal client of his, started uttering over his piano. The transformed artist began developing a vocal style in line with ‘our natural, unmanufactured voice’ - a path to boundless interconnectivity. The hazy, delicate work of art is now being revisited in the context of a fresh reissue by RVNG. Phoenix will perform it in a church, a setting aptly fit to amplify his labored work’s beautiful quietness.
