An extraordinary talent and deep love of creation are woven throughout Wayne Gratz’s musical works. He possesses a rare talent for painting subtly beautiful sonic landscapes. Through his compositions, the listener enjoys and experiences a place safe from everyday cares, a quiet haven in the midst of our busy daily lives.

Gratz’s new album, A PLACE WITHOUT NOISE, encapsulates his unique ability to express serenity and a peaceful state of mind with music. Over the course of two years, Gratz recalls sitting at the piano in his home, improvising and experimenting a number of melodies. Through this series of improvs, Gratz crafted 14 vignettes for piano. From Clouds to Snowing to Willows, each composition evokes a distinct mood and mental imagery intended to create for the listener a sense of inner peace — a place without noise.
