"I decided to sit down with my piano and have a conversation about what we wanted out of music," he continued. "I purposely forced myself to stray away from any of the hard-wired academic prejudices that I had the tendency to fall back on. These pieces took me far away from any notion of form, harmony, or time that I had so desperately wanted to control."Jaime's compositions, the latest installment of an ongoing series titled Reveries, are solo piano pieces inspired by his "love for the incredible Dimitri Shostakovich." In a note on his blog from last month, the 21-year-old explained that he was inspired after a months-long listening session that involved "the systematic consumption of every [Shostakovich] symphony, brooding string quartet, and whimsical piano solo."

On Twitter, Talinda offered a succinct summary of Jaime's latest releases: "Our son Jaime is as talented as his father," she wrote.

Chester Bennington died by suicide last month at his Los Angeles home. In a statement provided to Rolling Stone following his death, Talinda wrote, "We had a fairytale life and now it has turned into some sick Shakespearean tragedy. How do I move on? How do I pick up my shattered soul? The only answer I know is to raise our babies with every ounce of love I have left."

Shuck discussed his final conversations with Bennington, and reading the final texts with Chester’s widow Talinda. “A mentally and emotionally healthy Chester would have never meant to hurt any of us, I can promise you that. Never. He was not himself when this happened, and he was not in control. We often spoke at length about the power of our darkness, in an effort to repel it and understand it, not invite it in and let it have its way with us. There’s no easy way to say this, but this was not an act of selfishness, he didn’t mean to hurt us, it was an act of illness. Upon re-reading some of my last texts with Chester, Talinda and I sat there and read them all together. I realized that while he was lovingly encouraging me with my own battle with addiction, and the dark passenger as we called it, he was also clearly describing his o...
