Saturday (Hushed) - Piano Day 2022

The other day I watched a video of a pianist signed to a major record label performing his latest magnum opus. It was so bad. I hate to talk smack on the platform which I have purposely devoted to the absolute positive expansion of the music. But there was just something about that particular performance that really turned me off. Was it the formulaic basic chord progression? Was it the senseless pounding on helpless piano keys? Or was it simply a lack of all emotion, in which the execution of this piece seemed to exist? I was a bit dismayed [to say the least], and so I actually sat down and then composed a piano piece myself. I guess it was a sort of insurrection against the mass-produced, the stamped and truly tepid. I guess I simply wanted to make sure that feelings still may be conveyed. So it's no wonder that this morning I turn over to one of my favourite independent labels and their latest upcoming release from Tom Adams to premiere his beautiful and tender track. At just a bit over two minutes in length, the deceptively simple notes gently fall upon these spent and tired ears, and suddenly I am cradled in the warmth of intimate and sensitive sounds, and suddenly I hear the emotion and the soul. It's not the instrument, the chords, and not the melody. It's not the colours, not the flavours, not the words. It's how these all transmit from one towards another. It's how the message is conveyed and then received. And if it fails to carry all that must be mentioned, then maybe it's not worth in saying it at all. But in the case of Adams' morning afterglow of sounds, I'm glad he shared it with Moderna and with me.

"Golden waves is an album about experiential flow, and the many forms in which it can be enjoyed. In the winter of 2021 a series of heavy storms hit the south west of England, in their wake came lines of swell that broke upon the coastline of Cornwall in a joyful rhythm. During that time I went out each day searching for waves with my surfboard. As the sun set the light would often reflect golden across the water and the lines of arriving swell. After the surf, and with visions of those golden waves still playing in my mind I recorded a series of late night piano improvisations. This album is a collection of my favourite moments from these sessions." - Tom Adams

Afterglow 1

TRACK PREMIERE : Tom Adams - Afterglow 1

As some of you already know, I'm not too big on social media. Sure, I'll use some of the more popular outlets to share these words on all this music, mostly because I think that's where you all hang out. Sometimes it feels like entering a packed and loud bar and just quietly saying in the corner, "Hey, did you hear about this new album by Akira Kosemura?" and then retreating for the night to my quiet studio, where the noise in my memory of this encounter is finally relieved by the sound of the piano keys. I feel like every year, I make an offhand comment about the insanity of the world, and every year it seems to get a little worse. The news, in particular, appears to be an amplified magnet of defilements intensely blinking for attention at the top of the roof. But I won't comment on the headlines and instead attempt to make my own. Today I am premiering for you a piece from Kosemura's new soundtrack for a film called "Rudy", which is scheduled to be released via his own Tokyo-based Schole imprint on September 15th. This is a beautiful collection of 31 vignettes, where "the piano plays a central role, and the listener is transported by the emotion of the compositions of this internationally acclaimed pianist." The human condition is explored on every single track, with a slightly melancholy, touching, quiet tone, perfectly capturing the overall sentiment of the storyline, whether the images unfold on the screen or in my mind behind closed eyelids. I think you will enjoy this little gem.

Stay Strong

Sleeping in Church

The melody sounds like two people talking quietly to each other

A conversation between two people

Loosely inspired by Sweet Sounds of Heaven from the Rolling Stones...! :D

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).
