about

Tales from the Loop is a 2020 American science fiction drama based on the artwork of retro-futurist Swedish artist Simon Stålenhag. The series follows the interconnected lives of the residents of the fictional town of Mercer, Ohio. Mercer is home to a center for experimental physics and its underground facility known as the Loop. The drama unfolds against a score of an almost static beauty composed by Philip Glass and Paul Leonard-Morgan.
The original score was well-received, especially by fans, and immediately there was an online groundswell of hundreds of piano renditions of the music by amateurs and professionals alike. Leonard-Morgan was well aware of the tributes and immediately set about arranging and recording a number of selections from the score for solo piano for himself.

Over the intervening years, the online performances continued – including an especially poignant performance of a small boy in Ukraine in early 2022 who performed music from Tales from the Loop on a hotel piano as war was arriving to his country; A Washington Post journalist picked up the video and it became an impactful visual of serenity and beauty against the backdrop of violence and destruction.

Leonard-Morgan reflected:
Tales From The Loop was the most incredible creative experience, collaborating with the Maestro that is Philip Glass for the first time. It was truly exhilarating bouncing ideas off each other, back and forth, on such a beautiful series.
When we had thousands of people around the world doing covers of our music - from piano to death metal, cello to drums - I wanted to do an album of solo piano versions of our pieces, so that people could continue to enjoy our soundtrack, and play it in their own time.  It was wonderful sitting down and recording these, revisiting the world of the Loop and taking it down a different path.
