Sounds from constellation Lyra. Thanks for listening.

Lyra

This is truly the most wonderful time of the year - purely magical. And I think it ought to be accompanied by music which beckons nostalgic warmth. This version of Dwell was born of late nights at a piano...always wondering if the melodies of the original could be rewritten in a rather free and spontaneous fashion. This is what emerged. It is best enjoyed under a star-lit sky as the snow falls  - of course with several angels & baby deer in your midst as you sip hot drinking chocolate. Merry Christmas and enjoy the free (and uncompressed) download!

This week I've reached three (!) milestones on SoundCloud:
- two of my tracks got 1000 likes: 
    https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/not-fur-elise-tribute-milana
    https://soundcloud.com/milanazilnik/moonlight-stroll-milana
  
- I've got 20 thousands followers.
- my tracks on SoundCloud have been played 1 million times!

All three milestones happened within one week, what a great start of the year that is?! It all was unimaginable for me when I decided to open an account on SoundCloud and made humble attempts in recording my piano improvisations and writing my first songs. I would like to thank all of you for the continuous support of my music!

To celebrate Piano Day I recorded a cover version of a piece from one of my favorite piano composers/performers, Michael Nyman.  This piece is titled "Molly" off of the wonderful score to the Michael Winterbottom film "Wonderland".

Pre-order 'Trance Frendz' on LP/DL: www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP081
or digitally iTunes: snip.ftpromo.net/trancefrendz

Having been available exclusively as the second disc to 2015's 'Collaborative Works', Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm's improvised audio recordings 'Trance Frendz', taken from their 45-minute studio film of the same name, have been given their own vinyl release – out March 4th, 2016.

Prior to a string of collaborative Erased Tapes releases, which include 2012's 'Stare' 10” and last year’s 'Life Story Love and Glory' 7” and 'Loon' 12” – compiled on the 'Collaborative Works' 2-CD set, Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm spent many hours together in their studios across Berlin and Reykjavik. Both have carved out genre-defying musical careers and formed unique live shows, creating a fan base loyal to their prolific output.

During a session at Durton Studio in Berlin last summer, Nils and Ólafur invited Alexander Schneider and his camera to document it. The recording continued long after the first take, stretching out into the next day until, eventually, several new improvisations had been recorded in 8 hours with no overdubs or edits. The unexpected nature in which these pieces had been created was reminiscent of their first on-stage improvisation many years ago. It became immediately clear how special these songs were.

"At the end of the night we had all this music that sounded unfamiliar even to us, loudly asking to be included in this collection.”

Originally made available as a 45-minute film on their joint website (www.arnaldsfrahm.com) last September, 'Trance Frendz' will be available to own on vinyl from March 4th, 2016.

Press for their 'Collaborative Works':

'A particularly joyous wash of slinky percussion and juddering layers' (8/10) – Clash

'An enchanting listen. The bar for a Lads' Night In has just been raised a few notches' (7/10) – Drowned In Sound

‘This is music for slowing down the pace of modern life... An immersive listening experience is guaranteed, while we must hope Frahm and Arnalds go on ‘holiday’ together more in future, and don’t forget to take their musical instruments.’ ★★★★ – MusicOMH

'A collection of gorgeously intimate piano compositions and eye-opening synth pieces, each never aggressive but always powerfully poignant' (8/10) – Under The Radar

'What Collaborative Works offers is something strange: a shared world created by two mad geniuses. Long may Arnalds and Frahm tinker' (8/10) – PopMatters

'Collaborative Works further proves just how natural a fit Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm are together' – Resident Advisor

--
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

~ The Arrow and the Song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

This year has been one of ups and downs, excitement and achievement, life and loss. I know it's been tumultuous for a lot of people around the world, and my hope is that this music will provide a small, five minute window of profound peace.

Wishing everyone a very peaceful, blessed Christmas.

Different Ways

Shunichiro Fujimoto “Rejoice”

I wake up in the morning, and place the score on the stand.
I open the keyboard lid and practice as always.
As soon as my fingers feel right, I take a deep breath and place my fingers on the keys once again.
Just as the musicians did in the old days.
Composing music starts every morning in this simple way.
Connecting to the piano.
Everyday repeats itself.
Playing until you find the perfect chord and scale.
The score which was made through many inspirations and revisions, reveals the time with the piano.
Traditionally made music that no one has heard.
The main theme of this album is “forfeiture”.
Rising up from a loss and moving towards accepting the present state.
What is here is not the past, but something for the present, rejoice.
The sound of the wood creaking and the sound of the player breathing.
The gentle sound of the piano strings resonating with each other.
It is almost as if it were midnight, creating a calm world of shadows.
45 minutes of a tranquil midnight.
Enjoy the music.

This song is LIVE version.

This time my goal was to play with ambient sounds and other similar elements in order to create a smooth atmosphere and identify oneself to it. 
And imagine, imagine that wonderful experience could give this song: far from everyone and everything! Only You and the silence of night! 
Every now and then we need to find a solitude moment and reflect. Reflect their problems, fears, anxieties. 
"Hush" might help you to sweep away those thoughts and face the days with positivity!!!

A BIG thank to my friend composer @jamesjoshuaotto who helped me to make the song more realistic with his voice and other layers! Really glad to have worked with you!!
And also my friend Chad! You've made another brilliant work with the mastering!! Thank you!!
Enjoy!!

Lyrics:
If I look at you with pure essence - pure as the first snow
If you take a look at me - like you didn’t know me
You wanna know my name - write it in the palm of your hand
We’ll see it through won’t we
We’ll see it through won’t we

We made the town red, remember
Ball and chain, remember
We’ll see this through

We made the town red, remember
Ball and chain, remember
We’ll see this through
