With a soft touch of melancholy, it slowly unfolds like a quiet thought, inviting stillness and introspection. Blending classical sensitivity with influences from across genres, Jakub crafts deeply emotional soundscapes that feel both timeless and contemporary. ad21

Quiet whispers, pierce the night,

Night songs, fill the air"

Garden of Moments

the best part of being  11.12.25

Homage to the synth sounds of Depeche Mode 101, possibly my most listened-to album of all time. 

Synths are a mix of Sytrus plug-in (which has some really cool DX7 stuff) and then my Yamaha MODX. Guitar is a Schecter Solo II SLS Evil Twin through Amplitube.

A Delicate Balance

In 1998, pianist and composer Bruno Sanfilippo, along with his wife Ximena Contreras, established their own record label, ad21, as a haven for their creative expression. Since then, ad21 has released over 30 solo and collaborative albums in digital and physical formats, solidifying its position as a cornerstone of the neoclassical music scene.
In 2024, ad21 embarked on an ambitious new venture by opening its doors to pianists worldwide, broadening its platform and artistic outreach. Collaborating with Javier Guglielmi, ad21 aims to foster a record label specializing in neoclassical music, with a particular focus on solo piano performances.
Their vision for ad21 is to create a nurturing environment where artists can discover a supportive community and access the resources necessary to maximize their musical potential. 

Stay tuned for upcoming big news. Demos are welcome.
