While William Eggleston needs little introduction as a master of color photography, few are aware of his fine ability as a pianist. Musik (Vinyl), consisting of three vinyl LPs, is only the second, and most elaborate, publication of his musical recordings to date.
Performed in the 1980s on his Korg OW/1 FD Pro keyboard synthesizer and stored on floppy disks since, revealed here are pieces by Eggleston’s favorite composers across genres—from Beethoven and Chopin to Gilbert and Sullivan, from jazz to reggae—as well as improvisations of considerable brio. Accompanied by a booklet of photos showing Eggleston while playing, Musik (Vinyl) reveals hitherto unknown facets of his creativity.

Born in Memphis in 1939, William Eggleston is regarded as one of the greatest photographers of his generation and a major American artist who has fundamentally changed how the urban landscape is viewed. He obtained his first camera in 1957 and was later profoundly influenced by Henri Cartier-Bresson’s The Decisive Moment. Eggleston introduced dye-transfer printing, a previously commercial photographic process, into the making of artists’ prints. His exhibition “Photographs by William Eggleston” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1976 was a milestone. He was also involved in the development of video technology in the seventies. Eggleston is represented in museums worldwide, and in 2008 a retrospective of his work was held at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and at Haus der Kunst in Munich in 2009. Eggleston’s books published by Steidl include Chromes (2011), Los Alamos Revisited (2012), The Democratic Forest (2015) and Election Eve (2017).
