KINTSUGI

Roberto Pianca SUB ROSA - KINTSUGI

Vocalist KerenDun and Pianist Nitai Hershkovits in a mesmerizing cooperation.

'Woman's Reach' is a bewitching piece and the first single from their upcoming EP titled 'Let The Mountain In'. A dance of piano and voice, a flow of sub-consciousness, an attempt to reach into unseen dimensions and realms of the heart.

Piano and voice might be the most traditional format of songwriting; but this one takes some unexpected twists and turns. Mystic storytelling, musical hints of classical (both eastern and western) traditions and a tendency to unconventionally squeeze-in and space-out the musical and lyrical sentences; make this song one of a kind.
