Takumi Kaneko / Unwind snippet

Yuhki Kuramoto - Rain

Evening, Wednesday, Black Rock City 2014. Led by Paavo and Tony of Above and Beyond, bathing in the lavender sunset, we practiced an hour of yoga with Elena Brower. We gathered, strengthened, listened and received the gift of quiet. We landed at home in our own hearts. This class reminds us that we are never alone, and that no matter where we are, we are on the path, and right at home.

Nils Frahm - Some

#3ammelodies

One of these rare moments:
Sometime last week, 1am - just finished watching a movie and it was time to get some sleep. But I don't wanted to, even though I was pretty tired. I wanted to do something, be active. So I sat down and played some notes on my piano.. one thing led to another - 4am.

Open windows, traffic sounds - the city was waking up again already. Microphones hanging out of my window.. yep, that's a passing truck in this track.. it's this time in the morning, when I feel really creative and things can be so easy.

This is The Awakening.

The Awakening

Deeply inspired by NASA's 'New Horizons' mission. The aim was to reflect the confident and tense feeling which surrounded this event in some way. 

These are New Horizons.

Every Mournful Breath

Compline is a monastic practice where monks gather to reflect & mark the completion of the working day.

There's no religious significance as such for me, but the concept of reflecting on the day's events right at it's very end, is an interesting and fascinating idea. Feel free to listen to this song in this way, and maybe with headphones.

I recorded this song for Piano Day 2016, held on 28th March. I hope you enjoy it! www.pianoday.org

Himmelsrandt - I

This is a piano piece written for, and dedicated to, Piano Day 2016

And We Danced (Piano Day 2016)

Solo Remains are previously unreleased tracks from Nils Frahm’s album Solo, which was recorded on the M370, the world’s largest piano, built by the visionary piano maker David Klavins in 1987.

Nils fell in love with the sound of this giant and joined David for the new project – building an even higher piano – the Model 450. The aim of it is to explore the not yet reached physical limits of the piano instrument and also to push forward into new musical dimensions. The M450 will be characterized by an even clearer sound with more depth and richness of overtones as well as an unrivaled frequency spectrum and intensity of sound and tone. In time for the 2nd anniversary of Piano Day, Nils decided to give four previously unreleased songs from that very session to his fans and supporters of the Klavins 450 project.

“In the end, every album production leaves you with the same tough task – making the choices for the final track selection. You leave out some tracks for various reasons: some of the tracks are wonderful by themselves, but they simple don’t fit anywhere in the album and others have to be left out because otherwise the vinyl would become too long for a cut in good quality. However, these outtakes are often as important as the final selection and I thought, they might be a great surprise for Piano Day too. I hope in this case, it’s both …”

Solo Remains is available for free download in 24-bit and mp3 format.

Based in Saint Paul, Minnesota, Jacob Pavek first visited modern classical music at age 21. After earning a degree in Music Composition, Pavek released his debut album ‘Bloom’ in 2012 -a collage of pieces written for piano and cello. ‘Bloom’ enjoyed an early success with select works performed by The San Jose Orchestra in 2013, and other tracks featured in the Emmy Award-winning documentary "Haiti Love" in 2014 (produced by Dana Johnson and filmed by Dan Huiting).

Since the release of Bloom, Pavek developed his craft further, honing in on the sounds that come from deep down in the subconscious from sitting down at a piano. These sounds formulated his 2015 sophomore release 'Illume'. 11 songs comprised of piano and violin, Illume feels less of a collage of works and more of a cohesive experience with each track blending into the next creating it's own world. The rich grand piano and Leah Ottman's soaring violin performance make it feel as it you were sitting in a dimly lit, empty cathedral. Illume is a clear evolution of Pavek's ability to write from the modern day romantic's psyche, allowing the listener the relation of their own past experiences.
