Impossible Piano is a collection of AI generative MIDI piano pieces, merged with field recordings sourced from New York throughout 2021 by New-York based artist sysadmin and accompanied by visuals shot by Karolina Lisowski.

Split in two sides and referencing artists such as Ryuichi Sakamoto, Tim Hecker and Taylor Brook, it constitutes a complete narrative oscillating between structure and texture respectively.

Impossible Piano I-IV is a compositionally driven affair, welcoming the listener with a deceptively simple motif that progressively complexifies and expands into something new yet altogether reminiscing of its core. Unconcerned with sonic deviations for the entirety of its 4-track duration, it stands out as a presentation of delicate arrangements.

Impossible Piano [Lullaby Mix] shifts the focus to a refined layering of found sounds submerged in minimalist piano ambience. Sounds sourced from trains, electric currents and material interaction, illuminated by occasional glimpses of melody, comprised in a single music piece.
