SUDDEN DEPARTURE
Richard Bone
Released 9/16/08
Nominated for the 2008 "Best Ambient Album" and "Best Electronic Album"
New Age Reporter LifeStyle Awards!

Sudden Departure marks Richard Bone's 24th release on his Quirkworks label and is the latest ambient work in an ephemeral, ever changing career which now spans 25 years. Sudden Departure takes its name from the stunning work of art by Cynthia Lund Torroll which graces its cover. The 11 tracks convey a wide palette of moods and emotions..from the mystery of Unknown Waters, the strength of Paetr Pax (Paetr was the ancient
Roman name for the head of a family unit), to the sweeping beauty of Ophir, named for the lost city thought to be the source of King Solomon's gold and home to the Queen of Sheeba. Imaginative and serene, serious yet playful, Sudden Departure is the essence of Richard Bone's music today.
