Nils Frahm - Some

Federico Albanese - THE BLUE HOUR


'The Blue Hour' will be released on LP, CD, Download via Berlin Classics Neue Meister on 15 January, 2016   

Buy on Itunes - https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-blue-hour/id1053970394

Berlin based, ‘piano poet’ Federico Albanese took inspiration from the brief transitional state between day and night, writing a collection of chamber-music miniatures that withdraw, explore, yet assert their laconic melodies all the more decisively. The emotions to which Albanese has given expression in his thirteen compositions have been articulated with well-considered gestures.   

Equally well-considered is the choice of instruments that Federico Albanese deploys on ‘The Blue Hour’. Piano and synthesizers are joined by a cello, magnified by over-dubbing and sound effects that culminate into a little chamber orchestra, which swells the acoustics while checking the dominance of a clear solo voice. Albanese esteems the Gesamtklang, the overall sound image, with its mixture of compositional precision and dreamlike fluidity. For this reason, the pieces are recorded from start to finish on analogue equipment, further enhancing the warmth of their sound. In ‘Céline’ we hear a discreet beat, scarcely perceptible, a gentle pulse that lends structure without jeopardizing the charm of ‘The Blue Hour’.  

“There is a particular moment when opposites are very close, almost touching one another. When there is still light but not quite darkness. A world in between, where all things are uncertain, vague, floating into shade. We can follow or observe, unsure where this would lead - into darkness or light; into the shadow of memories and dreams. A reflection of our desires and hopes, ready to be seen or unseen. It can be a sudden glimpse, with ideas turning into shapes, not yet complete. You can see things, but are unsure what they are. It is an unrevealed choice. A place to recover and heal, lulled by the security of the warm shadow of an ancient tree upon a hill" – Federico Albanese

Migrants

New record of an old song from 2010. Had been dark days. Listened to Schubert a lot that time.

Innerhalb

Wrote this piece some years ago when I was 17 in a night before I had a class test. I just had my first e-piano and could play at night. So I procrastinated with learning, didn't sleep and consequently totally failed at the exam. But well, there's now a piano piece instead..

Slightly rearranged over time and now renamed.
Original title: "Spross falscher Prioritätensetzung" / "Ich möchte lieber nicht"
The picture was taken at David Klavins Pianomanufaktur in Balingen, Germany.

Finished an old piece today, which accompanied me for a long time. Feels good to see all the pieces of the puzzle together after all this years. 

I hope you enjoy. Thanks for listening!

Recorded on my electric piano with the 'Giant' VST.

Vater

Für Lena † 2011
___

her short life ended so suddenly and unexpected with only 20. beside the huge pain i experienced through her decision to leave, i think i can now say after years of thoughts and reflection, that it was also the event i learned the most of.

this day changed literally everything. it was the hardest reminder that we only have very limited time together, so early in life. it effected all my decisions, every breath is a deeper one since this day. i see with a clear mind and open heart now. it gave me more passion, the ability for self care, it strengthened my empathy & understanding and created a even stronger will to leave the world better than i found it.

i’m sharing this because i don’t want her to become forgotten and meaningless. so, this is what i learned. maybe you get something good from it, too.

be good to yourself. be good to people, even the ones you think that don’t deserve it. be kind to every other sentient being. everyone has her or his own invisible struggles, be aware of it and respect it. keep the people that don’t make you grow and keep you small out of your life. trust yourself, but be ready to question yourself, too. fight. try to find beauty in the saddest and darkest moments. don’t be surprised of change, because it will happen. don’t live a life of bad compromises, go for the whole. don’t fear insecurity. be more brave than you actually are.

Was am Ende

Freiheit wär viel lustiger

Compline is a monastic practice where monks gather to reflect & mark the completion of the working day.

There's no religious significance as such for me, but the concept of reflecting on the day's events right at it's very end, is an interesting and fascinating idea. Feel free to listen to this song in this way, and maybe with headphones.

I recorded this song for Piano Day 2016, held on 28th March. I hope you enjoy it! www.pianoday.org

Compline (Piano Day 2016)

And We Danced (Piano Day 2016)

This is a spontaneous and simple track I composed for the second Piano Day ever (http://www.pianoday.org), which we'll celebrate on 28 March, 2016. Hope you enjoy it and happy piano day!

Closer (for Piano Day)

Composed for Nils Frahm's second PIANO DAY on 28th March 2016. Enjoy my relaxing and soothing piano solo track "Windwalzer".
This track is to celebrate the PIANO DAY 2016. 
With "Windwalzer" (eng. "wind waltz") I try to capture the moment when you  turn your eyes up to heaven and see the big clouds  floating across the sky...

Music: MACRIMA

PIANO DAY 2016: Windwalzer

Have a very happy Piano Day everybody!

Made a little childrensong (:

I dedicate it to my mom - for her loving support on my way so far, despite it seemed a bit adventuresome and crazy at some points (and still does).

hi! this is alice & her piano. 

here you'll find music inspired by compassion - and its absence.


///

compassion hurts. when you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. and you cannot turn away.
your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. you must either learn to carry the universe or be crushed by it. you must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors. -andrew boyd
