In ‘Op de vijfde rij...’ vertelt Cesar Majorana bijzondere filmverhalen en neemt hij de luisteraar mee achter de schermen van de belangrijkste filmfestivals. Wat maak je bijvoorbeeld als jonge regisseur allemaal mee als je in Cannes probeert een voet tussen de deur te krijgen, omringd door honderden ‘concurrenten’ die allemaal dezelfde droom hebben?

Sweden based, Dutch pianist and composer Leon den Engelsen came in touch with music early on when his mother would practice the piano at home. Soon after, he’d go to the local piano teacher and his musical journey began. In his teens Leon formed a band with his friends and a few years later he’d start touring with national and international artists and still today Leon tours with Iranian/Dutch singer/producer Sevdaliza for whom he also did most of the piano and keyboard recording. In 2011 Leon moved to New Orleans to study jazz music and in 2017 he finished a master degree at Codarts Conservatory in Rotterdam. In 2018 Leon moved to Sweden where he build his recording studio in which he now writes and records his own music. In 2020 Leon released his debut EP, a work of 4 tracks that connects the acoustic and electronic worlds through dance music. 
In his forthcoming EP Leon goes back to his roots by recording piano improvisations and compositions in a close and intimate way, decorated with field recordings and ambient synths. Leon’s music feels raw and warm and makes the listeners feel as if they are in the same room. Leon den Engelsen is an improvising pianist with a huge love for field recordings, synths and electronics.

And I Will Rise is a new EP by Columbus, OH composer and frontman of The Receiver, Casey J. Cooper.  Since graduating with a Music Composition degree from Ohio State University in 2004, Casey has been an active songwriter, composer, and performer throughout the US.  The music on And I Will Rise presents Casey's range of compositional skill and taste by combining simple melody with dark, padded textures.  Slow, patient, and brooding progressions provide a platform for many pleasant piano and synthesizer motifs.  The music is very orchestral in its nature.  But rather than employing traditional chamber instruments, Casey presents his ideas here with classic analog synth pads and leads in themes that return at various points throughout.  It's all very cinematic for the listener.  Wrapping up in just under 22 minutes, And I Will Rise provides a rewarding amount of light and dark, peak and valley.  Just listen, and follow where it leads.
