With over 5.5 million streams on his live recording of Beethoven’s ‘Moonlight Sonata’, Glenn Morrison has made an imprint specifically catered to more classical piano recordings - both recorded live in studio halls, as well as recorded at his private studio - Alpine Mastering.  We have made an effort to showcase diferent types of pianos and microphone settings in order to mix up the recording feel and texture.  Furthermore, here are Glenn Morrison personal field notes from the various live recordings on this release from Wolfe Records -

Debussy’s ‘Clair De Lune’ has a peaceful tranquility that starts off the LP with sustained pedal motifs throughout and the ebb and flow of the crescendos in the midsection.

Kabalevsky's ‘A Little Song’ is an emotionally thoughtful piece with melancholy chordal changes and it requires a very delicate touch. I hope you enjoy my interpretation and variation on this from one of my favourite composers from the 20th century.

Anatoli Kolomiyets ‘A Little Waltz’ has a staccato simplistic feel and its melancholic overtones contrast nicely with this duality.  I wanted to experiment a touch with the midsection and my timing falls out of the normal 4/4 time signature for several bars, before returning back to its monochromatic tempo rhythm.

Carl Reinecke’s ‘Elegy’ is wonderfully thought out, heavy in emotion, and would fit perfectly on a movie score.  I performed on a Bechstein grand piano with heavy pedal usage to add dramatic effect.

Finally we have Henry Purcell’s ‘Hornpipe Z. 685’ and George Frederic Handel’s ‘Impertinence’ which carry a similar motif and archetecture - staccato uplifting piano pieces great for relaxing and focusing.

Multi-platinum record selling musician and record producer, Glenn Morrison is the archetype of the modern DJ/producer star. The 37-year-old Toronto native is as happy rocking an underground house party as he is performing at an exclusive oceanic rooftop venue; as adept at composing an international club anthem like ‘Contact’ as he is at concocting a pop dance record that strikes to the Billboard Charts in America.  His single ‘Goodbye’ has been Certified Double Platinum and went Number 1 for 11 weeks in a row on the Canadian Billboard Chart, as well as going Number 1 in Russia’s Billboard Chart.  It wound up taking over Eastern Europe and became Number 1 in 7 Countries to date.

He is signed to Sony Records, Universal Music Group and Sony Music ATV as a writer, producer, & recording artist. He has been nominated for several Juno Awards in 2015, as well as Fans Choice Award / Dance Artist of the Year / Dance Record of the Year for Sirius XM Radio Music Awards, and won the SOCAN Dance Record of the Year 2015. 

Glenn has enjoyed the support of DJs as varied as John Digweed and Pete Tong to Dixon and Solomun. For three years he was resident at Ibiza’s Amnesia Club, and was a resident at Space in Ibiza for 1 year, as well as Space in Miami for 2 years.  Last year, Glenn added the latest addition to his residency repertoire in his monthly night being held in Las Vegas at the acclaimed Moon Nightclub at the Palms Casino.  And he is perfecting a sinuous, hooky sound that combines the eerie beauty of pure techno with light rains of melody and flashes of emotion.

In short, Glenn Morrison is one of the most dynamic and accomplished talents in electronic music today. Period.

Morrison is a difficult DJ to pigeonhole and that’s what makes him such a fascinating talent. One minute his sound is ruthlessly minimal and funky; the next it’s washed in color and vocals and emotion.

Glenn has had an unusual career path. He started off as a classical pianist, a preteen prodigy, performing  – and winning – competitions. Then came a life-changing encounter with electronic music.

Production continues apace in the new mastering studio Morrison has built in Toronto, entitled Alpine Mastering (www.alpinemastering.com). Be it sound design for video game companies like Nintendo, EA Sports, Activision or Rockstar, or his own productions, he simply doesn’t stop making and playing music.  His latest partnership with IMAX has been a thrilling experience, pushing the boundaries of electronic music to that of sound-scoring live theatre visuals.  Glenn & IMAX unveiled this concept with a 3 part show series at the 2012 ComicCon event held at the Ruben H Fleet Science Centre in San Diego, and it was a huge success. “It’s been a liberating transition for me to make music for all different stylistic purposes, and I’m very grateful for having the ability to do what I love for a living” says Glenn.

Watch this brilliant artist over the course of 2021 as he will be reshaping and redefining how we perceive electronic music through an ample amount of live shows, performances, and recordings.
