Sun, Will Grow

“The movements present beautifully wrought alternating panoramas of tone and periodicity that hypnotize but do not get into an overly formulaic mantra like classic Minimalism sometimes does.” - Classical-Modern Music Review

“Taylor Joshua Rankin's album Sun, Will Grow is an expressive journey through memory and art... a moving work that celebrates both the past and the future, taking the listener on an intimate, personal journey.” (7/10) - AM:plified (Das Magazin für starke Musik)

“[Sun, Will Grow] hints at themes of memory and nostalgia, and the joys and pains associated as life’s new chapters unfold…” - Unfinished Side

“Taylor comes with a diverse musical background. His experience in percussion performance, as well as his keen understanding of groove and music software, gives his music a unique visceral quality. Consumed by the sonic force of music and its effect on the listener, Taylor listens to players’ suggestions and tailors his music to their strengths. Taylor is a supportive colleague whose generous personality allows him to work easily with a great many people. I recommend him with confidence.”
