Ezra Brunelli - Our Last Dance

"Danzarín" by Julián Plaza is undoubtly part of the unspoken "canon" of sacred pieces of the tango world. Here we listen Juan María Solare's version for solo piano.

Every composer has a signature piece, not necessarily his best, which defines his style, his intimacy. Danzarín (Little Dancer) is thus a concentration of Julián Plaza's artistic personality. The first theme, a rhythm injection, builds on a pianistic device called "campanitas" or little bells: rhythmed dissonances in the high register. Typical of this composer is a second theme cantabile in the cello register. (From the liner notes of Solare's CD "Tango Monologues", http://www.juanmariasolare.com/CD_tango_monologues.html)

DIARIES PART ONE – THE HOTTEST SUMMER (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK)
Musik & Konzept: Colin Warner-Rochlitzer
Der Soundtrack zu meinem ersten Roman Diaries Part One – The Hottest Summer (BoD 2025).
Eine Klangreise durch den Sommer 2003 – zwischen Liebe, Wärme, Dämmerung und Erinnerung.
Jeder Track steht für einen Moment aus dem Buch:
☀️ „Main Theme – The Hottest Summer“ – die Hitze eines Nachmittags, der alles verändert.
🎞️ „Jack (Boy Made of Heat)” – innere Ruhe, Licht und Unsicherheit.
💛 „Danielle Thompson“ – laut, bunt, ehrlich.
🌙 „Rain on Düsseldorf“ – Nächte voller Regen, Zigarettenrauch und Gedanken.
🕯️ „First Light on Skin“ – ein neues Kapitel, wenn alles leiser wird.
Dieses Album ist eine Hommage an eine Zeit, die gleichzeitig vergangen und ewig ist –
und an all die Figuren, die in The Hottest Summer leben.

Leah Kardos - Little Phase

Welcome To Newtopia

This track was recorded on an old upright piano. It includes lots of the piano mechanical sounds, like pedals, hammers, dampers moving & the piano stool creaking. There are also a few mistakes in this one pass improvisation, but I have left them in the final track, to capture what was, a moment in time, between me & the instrument.
