floating points, p. sanders - promises (1lp/gf/blue marbled)

Promises is a transcendent collaboration between electronic producer Floating Points, jazz legend Pharoah Sanders, and the London Symphony Orchestra. Built around a repeating motif, the piece unfolds across movements with patient beauty, blending ambient electronics, spiritual jazz, and modern classical textures.

Sanders’ saxophone playing—fragile, emotive, deeply human—floats above delicate synths and swelling strings, creating a meditative space of quiet awe. It’s a minimalist masterpiece that rewards deep listening, each note imbued with reverence and restraint. Promises is less an album than a sacred experience—an exploration of presence, memory, and the power of sonic stillness.
