"Empty Beach" is a 55 minute piece of music recorded for the Star's End radio program, and aired in the early morning of May 3, 2020.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, I had to cancel a trip to Philadelphia to perform at the Gatherings concert series (which is why i created the live concert video "Hidden Shores", which you can watch for free at my website www.jeffpearcemusic.com ). In past trips to Philadelphia, i would follow the Gathering concert with a trip to the WXPN studios to play a live on-air concert for the Star's End radio program.
While i could not be there in person, I wanted to create a live set for Star's End, so on April 30, 2020, I set up my gear, hit "record", and created "Empty Beach".
2X Billboard® charting ambient musician Jeff Pearce has been called “an avatar of ambient guitar” by Echoes radio host John Diliberto, and “one of the top two electronic guitarists of all time” by the AllMusic guide. Jeff has quietly and consistently pioneered his ethereal style of ambient guitar since his first CD release in 1993.
