Frank Maston
pays homage to the classic era of library records and Italian soundtracks of the '70s. A blissed-out, grooving collection of filmic cues, it continues the unique brilliance of
Tulips
(BEWITH 087LP, 2020) and
Darkland
(BEWITH 096LP, 2021). Elegant and easy, subtle and stylish, breezy and beautiful; this is his Maston-piece. Commissioned by legendary label KPM,
Panorama
cements Maston as a master of modern classics and the most mesmeric of contemporary composers. In early 2020, Be With suggested to Frank that he should make a KPM record. He wasn't aware that they were still putting out new library records -- but he was super keen. Frank was visiting family in his hometown of LA in March 2020 when the world ground to a halt so the KPM project arrived at a fortuitous moment. Having fantasized about committing to a record with no distractions, with a proper budget, access to his gear and space to work in -- to really dig in and try to write and arrange the best work he could possibly make -- it was a real "be careful what you wish for" moment. He spent seven months on it, working almost every day. Maston had already been making library-influenced music so when KPM outlined the criteria for the tracks it was exactly what he had been doing all along. He thought the best approach would be to make a follow-up to
Tulips
that had a parallel life as a KPM record. Maston's sleek retro-groove instrumentals emulate the classic KPM "Greensleeve" reel-to-reel recordings that provided mood-setting music for mid-century cinema, television, and radio programs. Apparently in close conversation with the

Voices In Harmony
(BEWITH 041LP), Maston's
