Brooklyn-based composer and producer Josh McCausland returns with Pieces from a Forgotten Time, a cinematic and emotionally resonant album that fuses ambient electronica with neo-classical sensitivity. Known for his evocative, texture-rich soundscapes, McCausland draws from his background in film and photography to create music that feels like a series of visual vignettes — intimate, nostalgic, and quietly powerful.
The lead single, ‘Lurking Within’, stands out as a haunting exploration of inner tension. Built on ethereal piano motifs, immersive sound design, and subtle techno rhythms, the track channels the eerie ambience of Severance and the emotional weight of Max Richter’s work. It’s an exercise in restraint — a sonic meditation on the unresolved and unspoken.
With previous successes like ‘Opus 30’ earning placements on Spotify’s Peaceful Piano and Deep Focus playlists, McCausland now pushes further into experimental territory. Pieces from a Forgotten Time unfolds less like a traditional album and more like a film score for memory — spacious, atmospheric, and deeply human.
McCausland, whose work has been licensed by HBO, Discovery, and Amazon Prime, continues to expand his sonic language. This latest release captures the stillness between moments, offering a moving reflection on the beauty found in life’s quieter corners.
