Gary Albert Releases Uplifting New Single As Antidote To World Suffering

8th December 2023

Multi-award-winning composer and performer Gary Albert is set to release his second single 'Let Light In’ following the success of his debut release in October.

Amid the challenges of the 2020 lockdown, as everyone flocked to the streaming services for solace, the multi-instrumentalist discovered the healing power of music and its ability to connect people worldwide. With a mission to bring peace and inspiration to a suffering world, his new single is a testament to the emotional and transformative power of music in times of need.

'Let Light In' is a captivating neo-classical track that weaves the artist’s trademark minimalist piano motifs, throbbing basses, sweeping strings and soaring flutes. With a simple but powerful three-word vocal, it takes listeners on a journey back to their own light and demands that you let it shine.

Gary Albert's music blurs the boundaries between an impressionistic and poetic neoclassical sound combined with electronic undertones and a spine-tingling cinematic flair. Described as a fusion between Max Richter, Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds and Hania Rani, it promises a mesmerising sonic experience.

Having received four awards in the past two years for his live performances, including ‘Best Performance Music Video’, ‘Best Sound Design’, ‘Best Live Performance’ and ‘Best Live Performance On Film’, Gary Albert continues to push the boundaries of contemporary and neo-classical music.

ARTIST BIO

Gary Albert, aka 'The Music Alchemist’, comes from humble working-class East London roots. Born in the early 1980s on a deprived Walthamstow council estate, he discovered the flute and piano, aged 10, after a local initiative to get kids in schools learning instruments free of charge.

And so, he embarked on his journey of learning to create and play music and became obsessed. You would have found him in the music practice room before school, during break times and after school - he had truly found his gift. By the age of 16, he had earned himself a full scholarship to the prestigious Purcell School of Music, a private school for young gifted classical musicians. Years later he won two further full scholarships to attend the world class Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. One teacher called him ‘the Billy Elliot of classical music’.

The composer and performer’s captivating music and live concert experiences blur the boundaries between contemporary, poetic, neoclassical and impressionistic sounds infused with an evocative electronic undertone and a spine-tingling, cinematic flair. Critics have called his work “a multi-instrumental dream”, “a one-man cosmic symphony” and “beautiful with unforgettable music”.

The multi-award-winning artist has taken audiences on transportive sonic voyages with headline appearances at venues such as Wilderness Festival and Wonderment Festival two years in a row, as well as his double bill of sold-out Central London concerts, earning him four 5-star press reviews and four awards including “Best Performance Music Video", “Best Sound Design”, “Best Live Performance” and “Best Live Performance On Film”.

Other career highlights over the last 20 years include performing solo alongside Brian May and Kerry Ellis at Royal Albert Hall, composing the score for and starring in E4's hit series ‘Playing It Straight', taking to the stage alongside Judi Dench for Stephen Sondheim's 80th Birthday Prom, and performing/recording in sensational orchestral pop collective The Irrepressibles as their flautist.

Taking inspiration from the likes of Max Richter, Hania Rani, Olafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm, Gary Albert harmonises a timeless sense of organic musicality with his fluttering flutes, pulsing pianos and velvet vocals as he intricately weaves masterful loops, hypnotic layers and a tapestry of dreamlike FX for a transportive musical sound all of his own.
