Slow Breathing Circuit (A Winged Victory For The Sullen Remix)

Recorded partly in Senegal with local musicians playing traditional instruments, "Landscapes Of The Unfinished" is Piano Interrupted's 3rd album for German experimental label Denovali.

This album sees pianist Tom Hodge and “electronician” Franz Kirmann explore a more introspective approach to their sound. The sonorities and recordings the pair brought back from West Africa are deconstructed, mangled and texturised, turned into a pointillist landscape until only a faint and distant souvenir remains.

These beds of pulsating soundscapes and earthy textures serve as base for Hodge’s delicate piano phrases and intricate compositions, interlaced with long-time collaborator Tim Fairhall's fluid double bass playing.

Harsher territories are also visited during the 9 tracks that compose the LP; fuzzy Senegalese radio voices and the distant memory of African percussion collide with distorted bass and buzzing drones or screaming textures battle with screeching double bass sounds and tortured piano strings.

The overall tone of the album reflects the duo’s desire to musically translate the experience of the Dakar trip (where Franz Kirmann grew up), but also to break away from the first two albums' intricate programming and editing and instead go towards a writing and recording experience directly inspired by their live experience. Hodge’s clarinet, an important facet of the Piano Interrupted live show, is captured on record for the first time. 

This surge towards documenting a moment, leaving a trace or examining something concrete is further reflected in the choice of titles (all named after the musicians who took part in the recordings) and also the design, which is for the first time a photograph. Taken by filmmaker Cath Elliott, who travelled with the pair to Dakar to document the process, the album artwork captures one of the numerous half-built structures, infinite and abandoned, surrounding the studio in the suburbs of Dakar, and provides both an unfinished urban landscape and yet when viewed as a single moment in time, one of many compellingly complete landscapes of the unfinished.

Landscapes of the Unfinished

Piano Interrupted - Abdou Kadre

It’s been a grim year. I won’t add to the countless column inches exploring why; suffice to say I’ve spent a great deal of it feeling like humanity is on the edge of oblivion, and wondering if, all things considered, that might not be such a bad thing. At other times I’ve clung to what Obama described as ‘the audacity of hope’ – the idea that we may one day learn to live with love, that future generations may finally step out of the shadow of fear that divided and conquered their ancestors.

I wrote this track the night before last, then got up at 5am to record the guitar before engines started roaring in the bus garage outside my flat. You can hear a few birds singing at the end, but that seemed appropriate, so I left it in. 

Thanks for listening in 2016. Here’s hoping.

Some Days Are Better Than Others

Exclusive audio taken from the upcoming album 'View from Above'...

Christopher Colaço and Philipp Schaeper have known each other since moving from their Southern German hometowns to Berlin. Together they studied Jazz piano/drums at the Berlin University of Arts and immediately dived into the vibrant Jazz scene.

Playing and working together shaped their musical common sense. In 2013 Christopher and Philipp had the opportunity to score their first movie (Oh Boy! – A Coffee in Berlin) and formed an old school sounding Jazz band with friends. After winning the German Academy Award for best original score, they continued to develop their collaborative project as a duo writing and scoring music.

At the same time they are working on their own music and started collaborating with classical musicians from the Mahler Chamber Orchestra in 2018, which lead to their first debut album. The record 'View From Above' consists of 7 tracks, creating atmospheric soundscapes that mingle between film-music, classical minimalism, ambient and electronic music.

'View From Above' provides a portrait of Christopher and Philipp's journey over the past few years and was recorded in Berlin at Bonello Studios. The renown mixing artist Francesco Donadello gave the record its final touch and it will be released on May 10th worldwide.

I first encountered Ben Chatwin's music as Talvihorros sometime in 2011 through his release on hibernate imprint. We become more acquainted when he contributed a beautiful track towards my ...and darkness came benefit compilation appearing in 2012. A few years later, Chatwin moved from London to Edinburgh and began recording under his real name. This new beginning also gave his music a refreshed and upgraded sound and with newly found confidence he moved on to the independent Village Green imprint - see Sleeper Awakes appearing on Headphone Commute's Best of 2015 lists. We've seen his follow-up, Heat & Entropy, grace the 'best of' lists a year later, but in 2018, I must admit, I was completely blown away with the Staccato Signals. Something changed entirely. Chatwin's music became cinematic, darker, edgier, blending synthetic and the acoustic, pushing the boundaries of intense sonics and textures, and totally gripping my mind. Needless to say, the album grabbed the top spot in the coveted Music For The Film Behind Closed Eyelids list of best cinematic music of 2018. This year, Ben Chatwin is back to unleash The Hum for Village Green, his sixth studio album under his own name, and today I've got an exclusive premiere from the release dropping tomorrow.

The title of the album, and indeed the title of this track, hint at something lurking behind the lights, the pipes, and concrete. That something is a sound, a drone, a purr, of lifeless objects generating life. When electricity is cut, the house fills with silence, and only then are you aware of all that constant whir you've been surrounded all time. This sonic ghost becomes the bloodstream of the dwelling, and with The Hum, Ben Chatwin amplifies its voice. This rumble is electric, growling, at times it's suffocating with the bass, its place expanded, frequencies increased, dynamics magnified. But at the center of this multi-dimensional chant lies a song, alone in space, alone in beauty. This is the song of Chatwin's music, and I've been mesmerized with all it has to say.

"When electronic artist Ben Chatwin plugged his Moog synthesiser into the mains at home one day, he was surprised to find the electrics of his home faintly singing. His house was built in the nineteenth century, and what he was listening to was the building’s natural hum. He boosted the volume, and in doing so, found the inspiration for his next release, The Hum, out on Village Green on November 6th"
