Since Nils Frahm has decided to forego creating a Piano Day 2023 playlist, I have taken it upon myself to create my own. Feel free to send your pieces in and I will add them to the playlist at the earliest convenience. 

Happy Piano Day!

La tristesse durera toujours #pianoday2023

When you look out the window and all you see is cold. And this goes on and on and on. But there is warmth inside of you. This little piece is about the warmth in the middle of cold. The hope in the middle of miserable events. The knowledge of sun in the middle of winter. Hang on to that, have patience, have persistence, because the cold will end one day.

Étoile A - Constellation Des Étranges (Piano Day 2023)

''The creation of "Sarabande" began with a simple three-chord progression that sparked a spontaneous improvisation. This improvisation grew into a haunting and mesmerizing piece that lingered in my mind long after I finished playing. Its slow and elegantly moving pace is highly reminiscent of the Baroque dance form, Sarabande. The piece blends the timeless beauty of Nils Frahm's piano works, Thom Yorke's atmospheric electronics, and Thomas Newman's lush harmonic language in a unique fusion of classical and electronic elements.'' - @felixrosch

Incantation No. 1 in Raga Todi, Ektal - Stacy Fahrion - Piano Day 2023

This song is my contribution to help celebrate Piano Day 2023. Life has been messy in the last couple of years, so I haven’t really been able to release new songs lately, despite my desire to do so. ‘Hello old friend’ is all about reconnecting. Reconnecting with my piano, which is my current instrument of choice to express whatever I’m feeling. Reconnecting with myself, as playing the piano allows me to sit still, process things and just be myself. And, as a result of all this, hopefully reconnecting with my audience at a deeper level, as I feel like I’ve been living very far away from everything and everyone.
