This November 4th we'll be releasing UK duo @petraleksander's new LP The Whole World Laid Out Before Me. This is our third large project with the band, which follows in the footsteps of their Triptych piano series and 2021 LP Collage. Recorded in March & April 2022, The Whole World Laid Out Before Me comprises nine pieces for piano, strings, clarinet and electronics that chart new territory for the duo. Eliot & Tom played each of the parts themselves (a first for them!) which results in a much more intimate sound than their previous material.

The LP's first single Fantasia Opening is out now, giving you a taste of the new Pêtr Aleksänder sound. Hit the link below to listen to it on the platform of your choice...

Pêtr Aleksänder - Fantasia Opening

The Valses nobles et sentimentales is a suite of waltzes composed by Maurice Ravel. The piano version was published in 1911, and an orchestral version was published in 1912. 

The title was chosen in homage to Franz Schubert, who had released collections of waltzes in 1823 entitled Valses nobles and Valses sentimentales.

Every year now, at least past two year´s I have written a piano piece on this day, where the day is the shortest here in Iceland. In icelandic it´s called vetrarsólstöður, one of those words that foreigners think we choke on.

Today we had maybe 5 hours of sunlight,  the day length is 4h 8 minutes to be exact I think. However it was a nice day.

So to keep this tradition going I made this improv, that in the end became quite long. I´m still using my upright dampened, that is using the felt option but now I recorded it from behind so less noise.

No midi, no option to fix, so you could say this has not been photoshopped my friends.

Soon the days start getting longer which is always nice to think about.

(edit) just realized this improv is in sol minor,,,  how fitting :),,, not intentional
