Who influenced Harold Budd?
- Erik Satie — Budd named Satie's stillness a lifelong touchstone — the Gymnopédies' unhurried beauty is the declared ancestor of his soft-pedal universe.
- Morton Feldman — Budd's avant-garde formation was in the Feldman orbit — quiet, duration and restraint learned from the New York School before he chose beauty outright.
