Nils Frahm - Fa (Noemi Bolojan Rework)

Creative inspiration comes and goes. There is a time to rest, and a time to be active. Each Summer is usually a musically fallow period for me. Kids are home from school. The garden is calling. Routines are off and the air conditioner is too loud. 

On August 1, 2024 of last year I wrote the beginning of this piece. I thought it was incomplete. But returning to it a year later, I realized it was basically done, it needed just a bit of color in the second half. 

There always comes a time in the writing process where I need to commit a piece to a form. It’s a weird feeling. That if I don’t record a piece, it feels incomplete. I don’t know how some people do it: writing entire compositions, committing them to paper before they are recorded. Because there are always spontaneous, unplanned moments in recording, that end up fitting perfectly in the final version of the piece. It’s like I have to leave open the possibility of something interesting happening in the recording process.

I’ve named this piece “First Step”, because in the creative process, there is always a first step that needs to be taken. And that first step is always the hardest. This is my first step toward whatever is ahead.

Daigo Hanada - Solitude

Closer, Still

Sans Souci

So… this is slightly awkward… When it comes to promoting my very own music, I seem to be at loss for words. And yet, I accept that self-promotion is part of every composer’s journey, at the end of each release. This album has been in the making for a very long time. In fact, it was complete before I even left New York, and I’ve been “sitting on it”, afraid to let it out, too weak to let it breathe. And yet here it is, fulfilling the unavoidable and at times desirable closure to something I meant to leave behind.

Beneath the dark veil of the night, covered in an intoxicating somber solitude, somewhat sorrow and slightly sweet, ‘Dislodged’ is a place of isolation, melancholy, and a bit of heartache. Composed and intended to be listened to as the second half to the ‘Unhinged’ mini-album, this intimate recording of my beloved instrument explores the outer reaches of spatial and reductionist pianism, occasionally echoed by the song of a lonely cello, contributing to the detachment, displacement, and dislocation of a damper pedal, controlling the felt rail which muffles the hammers against the strings. This is where my music lives…

The ten-piece mini-album, beginning with the same-titled “Dislodged” track, which is being premiered exclusively today on Headphone Commute, is out on November 10th, on 1631 Recordings. Recommended for fans of solo piano music, and my all-time favorite composers who inspire me, such as Nils Frahm, Otto A. Totland, Julien Marchal, Goldmund, Dustin O’Halloran, Fabrizio Paterlini, and Sophie Hutchings, and many, many more…
