âThe 2009 album Numbers, Colors And People (recorded in one day at Philip Glassâs studio) is all instrumental piano with a soft-pedal style that would become Shapiroâs trademark. The albumâs standout track Mint Green would go on to define Shapiro's early career. This six-minute jewel in its nature is furtive, an arcing, pacey piano solo which rises and falls delicately, its melody slowly emerging from a Debussy-like haze of almost-hesitancy. No matter how many times itâs heard you have to return to its cascading style. Mint Greenâs astonishing success on the Internet (over 14 million plays on Pandora Internet Radio) and as a regular soundtrack on American television belies its origins. In fact, Mint Green was directly inspired by the Cocteau Twinsâs track My Truth from their 1993 album Four-Calendar CafeĚ.â âMark Prendergast, author, The Ambient Century.
