Harold Montgomory Budd (May 24, 1936 – December 8, 2020) was an American music composer and poet.[2] Born in Los Angeles and raised in the Mojave Desert, he became a respected composer in the minimal music and avant-garde scene of Southern California in the late 1960s, and later became better known for his work with figures such as Brian Eno and Robin Guthrie.[3] Budd developed what he called a "soft pedal" technique for playing piano, with use of slow playing and prominent sustain.
