About

The artist's Bandcamp page gives the following info:

Most of these piano covers came out of improvisation sessions that accompanied my compositional analysis videos of The Downward Spiral. It all started when I wondered if I could make "Mr. Self Destruct", an intensely heavy and disturbing track buried in noise, sound beautiful by pulling out what lies beneath that chaos. The result surprised me, so I kept going. I hope you enjoy these interpretations of some of Trent Reznor's finest work! The Bandcamp release includes an alternate version of "A Warm Place" using synths and my voice.
