PETIT BISCUIT - Midnight Sky

I was on my bedroom, after summer 2k15, and thinking about representing what I loved to do the most, admire the sunset. Then, Sunset Lover is for me my representation of the perfect sunset. <3

Explosions In The Sky - Remember Me As A Time Of Day

Nicolas Jaar & Sasha Spielberg - Avalanche (Just Emma Edit)

From 'reflections' for large ensemble.

In his conceptual work Philipp Rumsch transfers the sound aesthetic and compositional principles of Minimal, Pop and Electronic Music into an acoustic and orchestral format. The closing piece 'epilogue' embodies a soloistic reflection for piano solo on the opening piece 'prologue' in which the compositional abstraction is realized by the simultaneous resound of layers played both in reverse but also in original motion.

Explosions In The Sky - Your Hand in Mine

OMNIA AMOR VINCIT!

Love wins over everything.

Thats why it is so important to remember your ability to connect with this UNIVERSAL LOVE again. It's you it's me it's all of us. 

Using the magical 111.11 BPM and downtempo ethnic tribal moods with a guided breathwork will help you reconnect to SOURCE. To something higher, something bigger, something more vulnerable, something more authentic, something more you. 

Just join the Journey. Journey to other Dimensions.

With 111.11 BPM to other Galaxies.

I started playing the piano back in 2015 (self-taught) and I feel i'm at a level where I can start sharing my ideas. So this song is one of those. Inspired by one of my big idols, Nils Frahm. He is the reason why I started playing in the first place, so be sure to look him up bc he really knows what he's doing! 

Enjoy!

Kareem Raïhani at the 2nd Ecstatic Dance Festival in Corfu, Greece.
Ecstatic Dance pioneer Kareem Raïhani is considered as the founder of the "European Ecstatic Dance Sound". Kareem has introduced Ecstatic Dance to most of the European Countries and alternative/conscious Festivals. Never before so many styles and genres were mixed in one set on the dance floor by dj's, until 10 years ago Kareem set the course. From ambient to techno, from classical to trap and from world to experimental, if it fits the flow there are no limitations. Enjoy!

On October 4th 2019, Penguin Cafe released 'Handfuls of Night', the highly anticipated follow-up to their much applauded 2017 album 'The Imperfect Sea' 

Using gut-stringed violins, viola, cello, bass, percussion, upright and grand pianos, synthesiser, harmonium and more, Arthur Jeffes and his cohorts have crafted a vivid series of panoramic sonic landscapes, that are as rich in cerebral poignancy as they are in emotional depth.

Bookended by the atmospheric ambient piano pieces ‘Winter Sun’ and ‘Midnight Sun’, the album traverses glacial minimalism with ease, combining their signature contemporary classical panoramas, such as the melancholic yet upbeat lead track ‘At the Top of the Hill, They Stood...’ and the colossal cinematic piece ‘Chapter’, with the crystalline folktronica on ‘Pythagorus on the Line Again’ — a re-visiting and continuation of the Penguin Cafe Orchestra’s 1993 Union Cafe song on the principles of harmonics.

'Handfuls of Night' began life after Greenpeace commissioned Jeffes to write four pieces of music corresponding to four breeds of penguins, to help raise awareness for the endangered Antarctic seas . A fundraising evening at EartH in Hackney followed, where Penguin Cafe premiered the four songs named after their feathered counterparts to a sold out audience; the rousing contemporary folk inflected ‘Chinstrap’, the mournful and minimalistic ‘Adelie’, stoic and rhythmic ‘The Life of an Emperor’ and the wistful, string-laden ‘Gentoo Origin’.

“Such is its mastery of slowly uncoiling drama you can almost taste the salt in the breeze" ★★★★ — MOJO⠀
⠀
"Arthur Jeffes' music has a direct clarity. Dramatic swells and sweeps showcase the jaw-dropping landscape. Most importantly, though, the music carries an environmental message, which is a critical issue for this generation" — A Closer Listen ⠀
⠀
"One of their most impeccable moments to date" ★★★★ — Music OMH ⠀
⠀
"Elegiac strides across epic landscapes... Arthur Jeffes is doing the legacy of his father proud" — Prog Magazine ⠀
⠀
"Another winner from this group, with Jeffes and company mixing minimalism, folk music and classical string writing into a charming combination” ★★★★ — All About Jazz ⠀
⠀
"A sensitive, frequently lovely follow-up to 2017’s ‘The Imperfect Sea… Handfuls of Night’ conjures pastoral panoramas and weathered vistas" — DJ Magazine⠀

Music is storytelling, bringing to light an individual's self-expression, or spirit.

Finding happiness takes a whole life, that's why we must be given time and start by listening to our inner voice and accepting its darkness to guide us to the light.

Something To Look For

To mark this year’s 88th day and as an acknowledgement to these unprecedented circumstances we find ourselves in, Piano Day founder, pianist and producer Nils Frahm releases a collection of eight solo piano pieces titled 'Empty'. 

Stream and download 'Empty': https://idol.lnk.to/nils-frahm-empty

Conceived of just before Nils broke his thumb and composed the similarly intimate solo piano album 'Screws', 'Empty' is a soothing vessel of eight simple and serene pieces originally recorded as the music to a short art film he shot with his friend and film director Benoit Toulemonde. Drifting through emotions from the stark and sobering opener 'First Defeat', to the gently euphoric 'No Step On Wing' and the contemplative but hopeful closer 'Black Notes', with its poignant minute of silence, 'Empty' is a comforting score for these turbulent times.

“When I came back from the hospital with a broken thumb and listened to the recordings, I felt they were unfinished. I decided to put them aside and started to work on my small album, 'Screws'. 

Many many other notes of the piano have been struck since these days, and before we all forget about this, I thought it would be a good moment to share these lullabies with you. I hope they help you stay all strong and calm in these days of solitude – despite the hardship, we can discover introspection and reflection unexpectedly. Who knows what it is good for.  
 
Much love, Nils”

Kindred piano lovers Peter Broderick and David Allred have gifted the sheet music for their song Hey Stranger, taken from their collaborative 2017 record Find The Ways. Reminding us of the importance and power of friendship, it was originally performed on double bass, with Peter on violin and the two singing together. David kindly recorded this solo piano version to make it easier for you to follow the notes.
