Big Shadows

Misericordia

So it Begins

One of the true pleasures of living in a northern country is the occasional feeling of the warmth of the winter sun on your face. There's a word for this --apricity. A brief burst of apricity warms both the body and the spirit.

Apricity

From my new EP: Songs The Night Bird Taught Me, which was inspired by the bittersweet, solitary sound-world of the nocturnal. I hope to take the listener on a journey through starlit waking dreams, inside the liminal world that hums between moonset and sunrise.

Yutori is the Japanese concept of consciously slowing down to allow us to savour the world around us.

Swedish pianist Ana Rebekah offers a reflective composition, where each note feels both intimate and sincere. With its emotional depth and graceful simplicity, the piece invites the listener into a quiet inner world of contemplation. A soulful journey released by the introspective neoclassical label ad21.

Today we welcome Makoto Sawai, a Japanese pianist and composer, to the ad21 family with his beautiful single “Deep Love”. Performed on his own acoustic piano, Deep Love is a gently hypnotic piece that unfolds with a quiet devotion. Its nostalgic and melancholic tones invite listeners to pause, breathe, and journey inward, or perhaps to a distant memory. Let yourself be carried away by this serene and heartfelt composition, now available on all streaming platforms.

"The most powerful and magical language is music. The reason for this is that music is the original language. Music is not ornamented poetry, and poetry is not ornamented prose. Poetry is fallen music, and prose is fallen poetry. Prose is not the original language; it is poetry made practical. Even poetry is not the original language; it is music made speakable, it is the words of music separated from their music. In the beginning was music." (Peter Kreeft, Philosophy of Tolkien)
