Reading Stuff

Occasionally music has the ability to stop you right in your tracks, whatever your surroundings and take a deep breath to absorb everything it has to offer. Bloom is a beautiful, ambient release that holds this quality. The result of two highly skilled artists coming together, this 5 track escapade sets the scene for Fall, think rain tapping on the window, chilling on a cozy sofa as the temperature begins to drop outside and the colorful Autumn revealing itself day by day.

This track is a special release for the first annual "Piano Day" (a new holiday invented by Nils Frahm). It incorporates sounds from my old Yamaha upright piano in a few different ways: First I played it (of course), then I sampled the piano and manipulated those samples to create some of the ambient effects you hear. Hopefully this helps you to hear the piano in new ways (as it did for me).

"Ellipsis" is based on the idea of waiting for something even though you don't know exactly what you're waiting for. Most of the elements for this piece were recorded during a trip to Kitimat in Northern BC. In many ways, Kitimat is a town in waiting – waiting for the city workers strike to end; waiting to see if new industries will come to the region or not; waiting for spring to finally arrive in full. This piece is my attempt to capture that feeling of collective waiting and anticipation.

"About Us" marks a new milestone: 6,000 Soundcloud followers.
I still remember celebrating 100 followers 2 years ago, daydreaming about a music carreer. I cannot be happier than this, and it is all thanks to you.

This song was recorded while thinking about a relationship that never had the chance to become real. 
There is no sadness, nor regrets, but a feeling of wanting to forget the past and just look forward. We do not have time to waste on our past. 
The world awaits and it has much more to offer!

P.S. See you next month with the fourth Fireplace tale!

The Last Best Place

Interval is taken from Bigo & twigetti's 'Perceptions' series which explores different approaches to creating music for piano. The series features pieces written for solo piano which capture a performance, tracks which combine piano performance with subtle splashes of effects such as delay or granular synthesis and those which are constructed from recordings which have been transformed through layering, effects processing, binaural/3D recording techniques and arranged to create an immersive listening experience. Interval is a simple, harmonically static piece that creates a soothing hypnotic effect through subtle use of touch, dynamics and space to explore the resonant and mechanical sounds of the piano.

Double
Noun
[duhb-uhl]

In DJing: A double refers to the technique of mixing two different tracks, often with similar elements, so their key moments—like drops, breakdowns, or impactful sections—align perfectly. This creates a layered, high-energy effect, making the sound feel fuller and more intense. DJs use doubles to add surprise, create unique live moments, or emphasize specific parts of the mix.

Example: “dublldee played 17 wonky doubles during his set, Edd Boy! He deserves a jaw breaker for that!”
