“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

Nils Frahm & Olafur Arnalds : An excerpt from Trance Frendz 1

 "Lean back comfortably, open your mind to your heart.
Take a deep breath and let the journey begin here..."

Friday the 16 of October 2015 Albert af Ekenstam from Gothenburg released his first debut single "Walking". The sound of a delicate, intimate and soulful song reached us with deep clarity and at once Gothenburg had found a new favorite artist.

* "we can’t wait to hear more from Albert af Ekenstam" - Mattias El Mansouri, Ge hit Musiken. * "one classic beauty that makes us longing for more" - Redaktionen, Hymn. * "so exited to hear and see where this lands" - Que. club, Djungeltrumman

April 1st 2016 Albert af Ekenstam will release his second single "Angel Liz" (Kning Disk), and for everyone who has been waiting to hear more from Albert af Ekenstam will have their high expectations fulfilled and know that it was worth the wait. The single "Angel Liz" is without a doubt in a deeper bond between the singer-songwriter and the post-rock scene who yearns to heard.

A heartfelt triumph of euphoria and melancholia, that shines a magnificent blue and yet calming light in the dark. You can describe "Angel Liz" in so many sublime ways but never anything less then one gracious classic masterpiece. Albert af Ekenstam is planned to release his full debut album in September 2016 — this will surely be something we can expect to make us reach higher grounds. After listening to his second single we can all be safe to know that this album will bring the music scene something extra ordinary and unique.

"...breath out. The journey has just begun."

.......................................................................................................................
Opalescent, the debut album from Mercury Music Prize and Ivor Novello award nominated artist Jon Hopkins has been remastered and reissued for the first time on vinyl for its 15 year Anniversary in a special edition 2 LP gatefold with liner notes. (Pre-order from the Just Music Store now).

Back in 2001, (the year of Opalescent’s original release) the process of creating the album was a joyful one. At the age of 20 Jon had just signed to Just Music, so we bought him a PC and with a hotch-potch of software and some basic equipment, he set to work. His only assistance came from friend and regular collaborator, (another Just Music alumni) Leo Abrahams, who plays Opalescent’s sparkling, plangent guitars.

It was a record which, in numerous, enthusiastic reviews, was filed in the then burgeoning “chill-out” genre. But Jon had no interest in making relaxing or therapeutic music, which may help explain why Opalescent still sounds so distinctive, musically and emotionally complex. It was never meant to be enjoyed passively. It is in the contradictions between beauty and bass, gentleness and volume, ecstasy and elegy, that Opalescent derives its enduring otherness. Even 15 years on, it is never quite what you think it is.

For all Hopkins enjoyed making Opalescent, this was an uncertain period in his life. He was a shy and reclusive musician adrift in London and, like any artist, prey to doubts and apprehension. At its most radiant and awe-inspiring (“Lost In Thought”, “Halcyon”), Opalescent is tinged with something wistful, even mournful. The chilly and hollow, piano-led “Apparition” or the lost-in-deep-space ambience of stand-out track, “Cold Out There” (listen below), contain a kind of universal longing, an ache for love or transcendence, that you can hear in instrumental music as diverse as Tangerine Dream and jazz pianist Bill Evans’s solo pieces.

But while Opalescent was a series of tentative steps, it is also already recognisably the work of Jon Hopkins. In the hypnotic minimalism of “Private Universe” (a precursor to “Light Through The Veins” on Insides), or the dense gloaming of the title track, elements of the drum ‘n’ bass, classical and soundtrack influences that have come to define Jon’s work were clearly asserting themselves. In its passages of drone music, its use of repetition, its cinematic scale, its stark piano lines, the album is an audible antecedent of the very different Immunity – Jon’s acclaimed, recent breakthrough album.

Hopkins currently has an audience waiting in anticipation for his fifth album, a work that he is determined to take as far out-there as he can – and Opalescent is the perfect primer.

Jean-Michel Blais and CFCF are both accomplished musicians. Their collaborative work on the 'Cascades' EP, which is out March 15th on Arts & Crafts, is a heartbreakingly pretty collection of lush explorations pulled forward by warm piano and a fluid mix of new age calm and forward-thinking ambient. "In a Landscape (Rework)," as the parenthetical suggests, is a cover – of sorts – of a piece by John Cage of the same name. It premiered on RBMA Radio's Discreet Music, our weekly deep-dive into all manner of experimental sounds.

Lyrics:
Verse 1 

I've shown 
All of my flaws 
Quiet and slow 
Bare and exposed 
I blew off 
All of the dust 
Bare and exposed 
I should have know I was close 

Prechorus 

Caught up in the rythem I was so close 
Could I have known this daze would become my downfall 
I was so close, I was so close 
Blinded by the flashes when we move slow 
Deafened by the by the loudness of our echoes 
I was so close, I was so close 

Chorus 

Now I feel like I'm drowning 
Can you hear my heart pounding 
I don't want to 
Now I feel like I'm drowing 
Can you hear my body howling 
I don't want to sink 

Verse 2 

Solfly slip from my bed 
I watched as you fled 
Lightning eyes as you got dressed 
I watched you leave breathless 

Prechorus 

Caught up in the rythem I was so close 
Could I have know the daze became my downfall 
I was so close, I was so close 
Blinded by the flashes when we move slow 
Deafened by the by the loudness of our echoes 
I was so close, I was so close 

Chorus 

Now I feel like I'm drowning 
Can you hear my heart pounding 
I don't want to 
Now I feel like I'm drowing 
Can you hear my body howling 
I don't want to sink

Michael Legan - A Momentary Fall

A couple of months ago I had the pleasure of hosting a delicate, slightly melancholy, and a splendidly pure solo piano piece from a Dutch composer Mink Steekelenburg, who released a single, titled Clearing on Waterway Records as Winterdagen. It seems that he is back with another four-track EP, this time for 1631 Recordings, featuring additional collaborators, including Maarten Vos on the modular synth to add further textures to his sound. The title track, "Phase In" is a serene meditation on sound and space, gently capturing the quiet noises of the piano, allowing the melody to bathe in the warm tones of the analogue machine. Side note: if you've seen some of my personal updates on Instagram and FB, you know that I have recently plunged into the world of modular myself. A perfect time to learn it, right? The point I want to make is that this is precisely the type of sound that I am striving for in my explorations, which is why I'm happy to premiere yet another piece from Winterdagen.
