It reminds me of a great religious hymn that I might have heard in church, solemn and mature. It is fine, a beautiful work, and I like the birds and the resumption.

feels somehow like a amarr theme from eve online

Lost and Found

Huge thanks to Nils Frahm and his brand new Piano Day (http://http://www.pianoday.org) for inspiring me to finally setup for proper recording my piano with two microphones, RME Babyface, and Ableton... This is a very short piece that I composed on the spot, as I was too excited to see the fruits of this first recording! 

Now I can play with mic positioning, multi-layering and software effects! :)

Mike Lazarev - Accidental (Piano Day)

Put on your headphones, close your eyes, and enter the space between movement and surrender. Holding Pattern is built in G Dorian—a contemplative, slightly melancholic mode that invites quiet reflection. A gently detuned string pad sways with emotional drift, its soft attack and long release creating a suspended, weightless atmosphere. With a slow-sweeping filter and reverb-drenched shadows, the track lingers like a thought you can’t let go of. It’s the sound of waiting, feeling, and not quite moving on.

So… this is slightly awkward… When it comes to promoting my very own music, I seem to be at loss for words. And yet, I accept that self-promotion is part of every composer’s journey, at the end of each release. This album has been in the making for a very long time. In fact, it was complete before I even left New York, and I’ve been “sitting on it”, afraid to let it out, too weak to let it breathe. And yet here it is, fulfilling the unavoidable and at times desirable closure to something I meant to leave behind.

Beneath the dark veil of the night, covered in an intoxicating somber solitude, somewhat sorrow and slightly sweet, ‘Dislodged’ is a place of isolation, melancholy, and a bit of heartache. Composed and intended to be listened to as the second half to the ‘Unhinged’ mini-album, this intimate recording of my beloved instrument explores the outer reaches of spatial and reductionist pianism, occasionally echoed by the song of a lonely cello, contributing to the detachment, displacement, and dislocation of a damper pedal, controlling the felt rail which muffles the hammers against the strings. This is where my music lives…

The ten-piece mini-album, beginning with the same-titled “Dislodged” track, which is being premiered exclusively today on Headphone Commute, is out on November 10th, on 1631 Recordings. Recommended for fans of solo piano music, and my all-time favorite composers who inspire me, such as Nils Frahm, Otto A. Totland, Julien Marchal, Goldmund, Dustin O’Halloran, Fabrizio Paterlini, and Sophie Hutchings, and many, many more…

Dislodged

TRACK PREMIERE : Mike Lazarev - Dislodged

Piano Works is the second installment of Lucy Claire’s ‘Works’ series. It is an eclectic take on what piano music can be. Featuring cellist Ren Ford (Keaton Henson’s Romantic Works) and violinist Marie Schreer (The Royal Northern Sinfonia) and surrounded in atmospheric binaural soundscapes, the piano is far from lonely. The work features a collection of pianos from grands and uprights, to electric keyboards, toy and thumb pianos. It is grounded in the real world but hints strongly at the magical and supernatural, it absorbs, transports, then delivers you back to reality with new perspective.

Hymn

In search of the perfect acoustic mirror for his perception of the world, Hannes Kretzer started to collect and distort sound effects until they fit into his mental universe at an early age. Synthesizer pioneers from the 70s were his first spiritual companions on his experimental exploration with sound.  From the beginnings in meditative ambient grew an equally strong fascination for straight-forward pop culture.  Intrigued by the idea of bringing together these contrasting worlds, Hannes Kretzer embarked on a new journey to incorporate a sense for dynamics, evolving structure, juxtaposition and space into his new creations.
