String Divertimento

A Winter's Song - a delicate waltz to celebrate the beauty of winter.

Immerse yourself in a serene winter wonderland with Valeska and the River’s latest piano composition. Transporting listeners to the most tranquil moments of winter, where the world hushes into untroubled calmness, Valeska and the River’s composition captures the ephemeral magic when snow blankets the landscape, momentarily concealing the stresses of life. As the delicate piano notes gently cascade, a mesmerizing string arrangement beckons the audience to embark on a melancholic dance through a snowy forest—a waltz with nature itself. This evocative musical journey is more than just a composition; it's an enchanting escape into the heart of a peaceful winter sanctuary."

Written, performed and produced by Valeska Rautenberg
Mixed by Thomas Lemmer
Mastered by Ramin Tehrani

Valeska and the River - A Winter's Song

Peruvian cellist and composer Fil Uno debuts on piano and coffee records with Suite Nipples, an enthralling collection of pieces for violoncello, recorded last September in Mexico City.

Suite Nipples, Fil Uno’s fourth album, was born in 2019 from pieces written for an audiovisual project commissioned by Lucy Hayes and inspired by the life of choreographer Gillian Lynne. The Peruvian musician, who is now based in Mexico’s capital, rediscovered the pieces during the second year of the pandemic. Between 2021 and 2022, he worked on them until they became his own and complemented them with even older compositions, from the days of his first album Violonchelo Solo.

If Violonchelo Solo focused on the listener-instrument relationship, incorporating the emotionality of a certain pop language, Suite Nipples starts from the «song» form and an affectionate lyricism.

Suite Nipples is about the body as a territory in common and not in dispute, and about eroticism as an act of resistance — nothing more contrary to war. Nowadays, nipples are symbolically a place of dispute: they are a common element between humans, however, a battlefield to exalt differences. Affections and emotions are common territory, but it is difficult for us to understand that others also experience joy and pain, hope and sorrow, which is why barbarism is possible.

In this fascinating time of exponential discovery, broken patterns and unlimited access to communication, differences are paradoxically exacerbated: racial, sexual, religious, economic, social. So, Suite Nipples is a common territory, a place without borders through which mammals nourish their newborns. It is also a point of intimate and necessary pleasure for all people, contrary to pain, loss and injustice.

The music of Suite Nipples collects the affective language of popular songs, which dictated the musical style when the cello was born in Italy in the 16th century, based on the theory of affects «degli affetti». The slogan was: the instruments have to sound like the voice, and the purpose of the voice is to move the affections.

Suite Nipples releases on the 17th of May, digitally and on limited edition vinyl, with photography and art direction by Janice Bryson and graphic design by Blanco studio.

Solo Piano - Chris Bright

I play the piano because it is where I let go of the have-to’s, and become part of something larger than myself. The language I speak on the keyboard when I improvise expresses a part of me that only comes out there at the moment of creation - when I’m fully connected and in the flow. In those moments when I disappear in the music, those are where I’m most fully alive. The musical question I pose to myself when I play is largely this: how can I release my inhibitions and let go of patterns sufficient to bring something entirely new, unexpected, and enlightening into the world, with structure, precision, clarity, and depth of expression. These pieces are meditations that are of me, but more precisely, they come through me. When I’m in the flow, I’m channeling the energy and only moderately directing it. The challenge is to be open to take risks while maintaining a structure, melody, and tempo that makes it interesting and satisfying enough to keep listening. I keep doing this nightly because it’s a language, because it’s a connection to something greater than myself, and because it’s very very relaxing.
