Keith Kenniff - Branch

FEDERICO ALBANESE is a composer born in Milan, Italy in 1982, and currently based in Berlin. His musical versatility is a natural gift that pushes him to explore music in all its facets. Albanese's compositions are airy and cinematic, blending classical music, electronics and psychedelia. Federico started studying piano and clarinet as a child before becoming fascinated by rock music. As a teenager he studied bass and became a self-taught guitarist and soon became one of the leading figures of Milan's underground scene, performing in several bands. Influenced by black music, folk, electronic, modern and contemporary classical music his skills as a composer soon emerged.

In February 2014, Federico Albanese released his debut album entitled "THE HOUSEBOAT AND THE MOON" . He recorded all of the piano parts with a 1969 German tape recorder, the Uher Royal Deluxe, which allowed him to catch all of the tiny hidden shades, the imperfections, the noises of the piano and its surrounding space. Federico melted this rarefied sound with electronics, live recordings, strings, and homemade instruments. The result was a combination of contrasts and colors with a variety of atmospheres that wonderfully represented Federico's musical universe

💙 Blue Album – a requiem for the self

A sonic elegy inspired by Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Three Colours: Blue.
This album weaves together ambient jazz, modern classical, and cinematic soundscapes to explore grief, freedom, and the quiet spaces between notes.
Piano chords echo like memories. Strings weep, then disappear.
It’s not just music—it’s the sound of letting go, of finding yourself again in the silence that remains.

🕯️ Best listened to alone, at night, with nothing to distract you but your own heart

Blue Album

Last Movement

A beautiful track from Alex Kozobolis dedicated to the memory of Mary Skinner. Free to download.

"I found out recently that someone very dear to me had died. 
Her name was Mary, we first met when I was a youth worker in south London nearly ten years ago. The offices of the charity I worked for were in the back of a church, Mary would sit at the reception desk at the front of the building and improve the world of anyone who entered it. Although previously unreleased - I wrote this piece of music about her in 2011, borrowing the title from a book she'd written much earlier in her life (about her travels to Ecuador and the community she'd become part of there)."

Celebrating #PianoDay #PianoDay2019

Following on from the success of their first improvised album ‘Piano Project’, the latest offering from The Daydream Club sees the duo take the idea a step further by fully immersing the fans in the creative process and offering personalised improvisations.

The duo shares a passion for improvisation, in the early days of their relationship they would often stay up through the night improvising on the piano. “Music speaks to the soul. It connects people, evoking an emotional response. For us, the ability to communicate through improvisation is something quite magical.”

Struck with a desire to share their passion and to make more meaningful connections with fans of their music, Adam and Paula hosted a series of live-streamed performances, inviting audience members worldwide to submit their own thoughts, feelings and memories, which they would turn into spontaneous piano improvisations. “You feel a huge pressure and sense of responsibility when attempting to interpret a meaningful moment in a persons life. The opportunity to put yourself in someone else’s shoes and play for a while was so special and we’re incredibly grateful to all of those who shared this experience with us.” 

Throughout 2018 the duo will be releasing a series of singles created from these live improvisations. The singles will form part of an album entitled ‘Piano Project // With You In Mind’. The first single, ‘Piano Project // For the Lost Ones’ was requested the day after a London terror attack in 2017, the dedication "in memory of anyone affected by the recent terror attacks anywhere in the world" (from Mark).

Lueurs

"La Tendresse" from "Lueurs" out November 22, 2019

From the award winning release, The Piano, Nocturne in A Minor is an original composition by Steinway artist, Chad Lawson.

Nocturne in A Minor

"Transitions II" is the second chapter of the "Transitions" trilogy concept which began with the previous EP, back in November 2019. 
All these songs, mostly around 1 minute and half of length, are part of the "piano microstores" project, which has been developed last year on my IG profile consisting in releasing one short piano story per day during all the summer season.

That Feeling, Though
