Your music should be played on Sirus Radio

I suppose that it is inevitable for a writeup about a solo piano album to begin with an acknowledgment of the current state of affairs in the present classical music scene (a term I coined to balance out the "modern classical" and "contemporary classical" genres, which also signifies the act of being present during the act of listening). It's inevitable to admit the oversaturation of this style as composers and pianists all rush to jump on the bandwagon of the trend and get a piece of that much-coveted pie from the digital platform streaming revenues, no matter how small it is in the end. But it's also extremely essential to point out that not every solo piano album recorded in the night with close-mic'ed felted hammers gently caressing the strings conveys the emotion of its creator and connects us to his soul. All of the ones I've loved have been covered on here. But it is the playing of Otto A Totland that I cherish the most. From the delicate melodies to his beautiful playing, from the tastefully somber storytelling to the technical attention put in each recording, and finally from the overall delivery to the completely absorbing transfer of his mind to mine, through the keys and the fingers, that is what makes this Norwegian composer stand out among the rest. For this exclusive premiere, I have selected one of my favorite tracks from his upcoming album on Sonic Pieces, which happens to be the same one he played on my very own piano when he has visited London about two years ago (okay, so I'm a little bit biased towards that piece). Nevertheless, I invite you to close your eyes and listen and see if you can uncover that memory that seems to somehow remain forlorn.

Waves of Now

Before We Leave

Urlicht

The poem "I Will Leave Trails in 3 Clouds" is an excerpt from "The Sacred Book of G" (blurb.com/b/5963353-the-sacred-book-of-g)

Poem, voice and video by Gonzalo Bénard (gbenard.com)
Piano piece composed and played by Ben Fehr

I Will Leave Trails In 3 Clouds (Poem by Gonzalo Bénard)

We asked Equador and David O' Dowda to rework Tiny Leaves - You'll be Okay which was originally released by Pegdoll for Piano Day 2017.

Equador are Henry Binns (Zero 7) and Bo Bruce who with their recent album Bones of Man tasted success with a no 1 on the iTunes UK electronic chart as well as recent appearances on CBS 'Elementary', MTV Catfish and NFL 2016. David O’Dowda is an Irish composer and multi-instrumentalist living in Manchester. He has composed music and songs that have been used worldwide on various films, television promos, programs and advertising including Homelands, The Walking Dead, ‘Netflix Originals’ ‘Hot Girls Wanted’ to name a few.

The infectious Equador sound entices musical osmosis alongside the original composition. Bo Bruce's reflective words and ability to find strength of melody syncs perfectly with Henry Binns' subtle production, increasing perceptual fluency with each Equador release.

David O'Dowda lays down a raw retrospective on the plight of refugees, instilling hope, whilst amplifying the need to acknowledge other humans. An emotive subject matter draws the listener in, highlighting the lyrical content and vocal beauty.

As with the original recordings 'You'll Be Okay Reworked' might not save the world but it will evoke nostalgia for the future.

Tiny Leaves recommences his musical journey with Pegdoll in October 2017 delivering his next album 'Notes on Belonging'.

Long Walk Out

Great for putting with visual stuff, perhaps.

Remote Island Home

Composed in the deep of the night when dreams and reality secretly blur. This is a case of whimsical inspiration meets the day job. This is the day and the night scattered with nuance and dissonance.
