Three different boundary mics let the piano breath in this short extract of a piano solo from the ostinato symphony.

'The atmosphere at the start of this song is taken from the wonderful crowd at the Union Chapel Daylight Music show earlier this year. It's all piano, modular synth processing, tape effects and piano derived sounds. I hope you enjoy the music. Happy Piano Day! ' – Michael Price

Debuting this name with a bootleg. This song initially attracted me from its catchy vocal slices. I figured out what sample it was and got carried away... This is the outcome.

Federico Albanese - THE BLUE HOUR

'The Blue Hour', released on LP, CD, Download via Berlin Classics Neue Meister on 15 January, 2016

Buy on Itunes - itunes.apple.com/us/album/the-blu…our/id1053970394

Berlin based, ‘piano poet’ Federico Albanese took inspiration from the brief transitional state between day and night, writing a collection of chamber-music miniatures that withdraw, explore, yet assert their laconic melodies all the more decisively. The emotions to which Albanese has given expression in his thirteen compositions have been articulated with well-considered gestures.

Equally well-considered is the choice of instruments that Federico Albanese deploys on ‘The Blue Hour’. Piano and synthesizers are joined by a cello, magnified by over-dubbing and sound effects that culminate into a little chamber orchestra, which swells the acoustics while checking the dominance of a clear solo voice. Albanese esteems the Gesamtklang, the overall sound image, with its mixture of compositional precision and dreamlike fluidity. For this reason, the pieces are recorded from start to finish on analogue equipment, further enhancing the warmth of their sound. In ‘Céline’ we hear a discreet beat, scarcely perceptible, a gentle pulse that lends structure without jeopardizing the charm of ‘The Blue Hour’.

“There is a particular moment when opposites are very close, almost touching one another. When there is still light but not quite darkness. A world in between, where all things are uncertain, vague, floating into shade. We can follow or observe, unsure where this would lead - into darkness or light; into the shadow of memories and dreams. A reflection of our desires and hopes, ready to be seen or unseen. It can be a sudden glimpse, with ideas turning into shapes, not yet complete. You can see things, but are unsure what they are. It is an unrevealed choice. A place to recover and heal, lulled by the security of the warm shadow of an ancient tree upon a hill" – Federico Albanese

Sofa Beats Records is proud to present an elemental selection of free-flowing melodies. Carefully selected by Kalya Scintilla, the compilation takes listeners on a journey unhindered by boundaries or expectations. Psychedelic electronica gives way to earthy acoustic tones, while glitchy tunes meet tribal chanting melodies. Spinning into space along magical flute solos, we are taken further on to hear a trumpet bearing news of a bright future yet to come. The sounds of nature and the world in all it's visible and invisible splendour, take us beyond our basic senses, and then Beyond Beyond.

Tribalicious - Final Flight Feat. Miss Noeka (Original mix)

‘The Birds’ are three tracks released together as the lead singles from the upcoming album, aptly named ‘Sketches’, due to its stripped down nature, is bejeweled by thematic undercurrents. 

‘Sketches’ serves to reintroduce listeners to Ackroyd’s most stunning pieces from her previous albums, all of which have been reworked into ‘acoustic’ solo piano arrangements alongside four brand new unheard pieces, which offer a taste of a new forthcoming record. The mini album sees a July release in preparation for a brand new full length album to be released in October, and One Little Indian will also reissue Ackroyd’s back catalogue on CD and vinyl alongside the new mini-album.

Feathers

Poppy Ackroyd turned heads in the neo-classical world with her previous works Escapement and Feathers, as well as her involvement in Hidden Orchestra (Tru Thoughts). Advocated by giants of the genre, Hauschka and Nils Frahm, the unique musician has returned, freshly signed to Bjork’s label One Little Indian Records, with a mini-album, Sketches, to be released on 4th August 2017.

With You - Musicalhits - The Unusual Way

Je fais de toi mon essentiel (From the Musical "Le Roi Soleil")

From 'reflections' for large ensemble.

In his conceptual work Philipp Rumsch transfers the sound aesthetic and compositional principles of Minimal, Pop and Electronic Music into an acoustic and orchestral format. The closing piece 'epilogue' embodies a soloistic reflection for piano solo on the opening piece 'prologue' in which the compositional abstraction is realized by the simultaneous resound of layers played both in reverse but also in original motion.

16 - Joram Feitsma - Pause

I started playing the piano back in 2015 (self-taught) and I feel i'm at a level where I can start sharing my ideas. So this song is one of those. Inspired by one of my big idols, Nils Frahm. He is the reason why I started playing in the first place, so be sure to look him up bc he really knows what he's doing! 

Enjoy!

Kindred piano lovers Peter Broderick and David Allred have gifted the sheet music for their song Hey Stranger, taken from their collaborative 2017 record Find The Ways. Reminding us of the importance and power of friendship, it was originally performed on double bass, with Peter on violin and the two singing together. David kindly recorded this solo piano version to make it easier for you to follow the notes.

When I needed space, I needed you

Piano Day 2021 sees Nils Frahm surprise the world with his Erased Tapes debut. Wait, what? How? Anyone who has seen the trail blazing sonic pioneer live will know Nils likes to deadpan a joke. Graz is in fact the first studio album he recorded for the label back in 2009, that somehow remained a secret… until now.

Stream, download & pre-order Graz now (CD & LP shipping on May 21): https://idol.lnk.to/Graz 

"A grand piano is a particular kind of beast to play, which will only sound refined and beautiful if you command a strong control over the keyboard. Each slight change in touch results in a different timbre, which will be rewarded when used wisely and will be your trapdoor when you fail to hold the horses. I remember how I had to squeeze the music out of the grand piano in the Graz sessions, and while I enjoy listening to it now, I kept these recordings secret for a good while – they sound like a much younger version of myself to me, and a lot of the musical expressions from that time would be impossible for me to replicate today. Close friends whom I had shared the record with reminded me of it once in a while, and some of the pieces got released in other versions on the album Spaces in the meantime. But somehow, any piece of music you create wants to get out there in order to find you, which is why I’m glad to share this beast with you and do hope you enjoy listening to it too!
Love, Nils"

Nils Frahm - Hammers (ft. Peter Broderick)

Raised in a small village in the very north of the Netherlands and currently residing in Utrecht, Feitsma essentially contributed new nuances to the ever-increasing scene of piano-driven music - an instrument he started to sink his teeth into at an early age already - with his 2019 debut “Under“. The album combined the timeless with the contemporary, offering an intense ride which instantly triggers a palette of emotions among the audience they weren’t aware they were hiding. Two years later, Feitsma’s exploration of the manifold possibilities to manipulate and exhaust his trusted piano continues with a 15-track album titled “Flux“, which feels like the logical successor to “Under“, even though it isn’t shying away from subtlety breaking fresh musical ground. The music of Joram Feitsma is an elaborate affair, it’s deeply heartfelt, it’s sensual, it’s ambivalent, it’s volatile, it’s stunningly beautiful - it’s a work of transience that’s here to stay with the power to emotionally destroy you in the best possible way.
–	Sven Fortmann, Lodown Magazine, on Flux and Under

Plentiful in its exhortation, rich in its search for the meaning in emotion while the accompanying instrumentation seemingly feels restrained, poignant to the point of haunting intensity. Even the playing is exhilarating when it is being quiet. The thing about experiencing Stroom is the sheer quality of detail. As if each note means something on its own, as if each piece occupies exactly the right time. 
–	Greg Fenton, Magazine Sixty, on Stroom
