Chester Bennington’s Son Shares Solo Piano Pieces

chester-benningtons-son-shares-solo-piano-pieces

​Talinda Bennington, widow of Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington, has shared solo piano pieces from their 21-year-old son, Jamie.

The compositions are the latest instalment of an ongoing series titles ‘Reveries,’ which was inspired by Jamie’s love for Dimitri Shostakovich. 

In a note on on his blog last month, Jamie explained he was inspired after a months-long listening session that involved the systematic consumption of every Shostakovich symphony, brooding string quartet, and whimsical piano solo.

“I decided to sit down with my piano and have a conversation about what we wanted out of music,” he wrote on his blog. “I purposely forced myself to stray away from any of the hard-wired academic prejudices that I had the tendency to fall back on.  These pieces took me far away from any notion of form, harmony, or time that I had so desperately wanted to control.”
