Australian composer and instrumentalist Luke Howard today shares ‘The Opening Of The Gates’ the first track from his forthcoming new album ‘All Of Us’ which will be released by Mercury KX on March 11th. Listen to ‘The Opening Of The Gates’now. 

Like all the residents of Melbourne, Luke Howard lived through the longest Covid-related lockdown in the world. Turning adversity into an artistic triumph, he forged a new album, his second solo record for Mercury KX and a new benchmark for the contemporary classical composer, pianist and Australian Music Prize nominee.

    Louder Than War - Audrey J. Golden writes….In All of Us, Howard’s sonic compositions become a musical language through which he responds to the calamities and destruction of the contemporary world — not reflecting or mirroring them, but speaking to them and illuminating the aural sensations they produce. There are moments in All of Us where it’s clear that Howard has scored music for films, with sweeping or...
