Polaroid Notes is a German artist named Andreas, who lives in the countryside between Munich and the Alps. In addition to his work as an ambient dub electronic musician under the name Kraut Sounds, he started Polaroid Notes almost ten years ago as a side project for contemporary classical music, but in recent times it has become the main focus of his artistic work.
 
Polaroid Notes has released music on Germany based labels Büro für Erdrotation, Drone Works International, Weber & Alcantu and soon on Licht-ung. He has also released albums on Whitelabrecs, including Unsung Memories (2017), Home Diaries 014: Moonlight Sessions and Ghost Sounds (both 2020) and Cloud Anthems (2022). He also released on Whitelabrecs predecessors Tesselate Recordings and Audio Gourmet.
 
Quiet Rooms came about during a strange phase of deliberate and involuntary personal changes and attempts to refocus. Moving back home after nearly eight years of working far away and dealing with one of the most annoying things a musician can experience ; tinnitus.
 
Quiet Rooms was therefore initially a kind of self-healing process to get back onto a decent track with music, focusing on slow-burning, minimalist piano lines, gentle melodies and lots of space in between the individual notes. The tracks ‘Quiet Rooms’ and ‘Two Wrongs Won’t Make It Right’ were the first pieces to be recorded and these set the direction for what was to come in the rest of the album.
 
Everything was improvised and recorded at a time when it felt right. One particular idea was to keep the tracks as transparent as possible, so that light and atmosphere could shine through as if through a piece of gauze. Later, electric piano, reversed loops and some additional electronic and field recording sounds were added. And that’s it. The music is focused, dense and uplifting in its quest for deep contemplation. It instills a sense of serenity with a gently absorbing, balanced stillness.
 
All recordings were made in the evening and at night, with the lights dimmed while the artist's cat slept gently next to the recording equipment. The individual titles of the twelve tracks reflect the mood and hope in which the album was created. What you hear on the album is a carefully curated extract from several hours of recordings. The photos that can be seen across the four gatefold sleeves of the packaging were staged presentations of quiet rooms inside the artist’s home. For us the listener, they serve as fictitious environments to place ourselves, in which to escape into a quiet space.

«Está lloviendo en Macondo...» Op.16-11. (2016)

Lacrima

This is the 12th track and a nostalgic and little sad piano song which has atmosphere that makes you feel autumn, included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to the following BandCamp page every time a single is released.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.
