Piano Day 2023

Own compositions

The world has become bombastic. Ironically, even among the most minimalist and ambient communities. The labels trying to out-shout one another: “listen to meeee!” they proclaim, sometimes in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, with descriptions in press releases spanning multiple pages of concepts and tales. And I don’t really blame them for that – it’s impossible to stand out these days, to “capture” your attention (the most important currency we “pay”), and to turn that focus into plays [what comes after, is a whole other story]. And then there are artists (and labels) that seem to continue their modest and humble quest for the essence that we may extract from this wonder we call ‘music’. They come unexpecting to share the love. One of such imprints remains the Québec-based Moderna, which searches the globe for the next hidden gem. It has introduced me to many new and up-and-coming composers, which have remained on my playlists and Best of the Year lists. Their latest small gift comes in a form of a four-track EP from a Dutch musician Jeroen Dirrix (he’s put out some singles and appeared on Moderna’s compilations before). It’s a 20-minute glimpse into a place behind the space that occupies the concrete jungle of the cities where we dwell. In this particular case, it is his city of Rotterdam (which I find to be architecturally beautiful, by the way), that quietly yearns for the nature which has since receded in urban defeat.

"Jeroen Dirrix dreams up an imaginary escape from his urban studio centred around the acoustic piano, with the soothing sounds of analog synthesizers and field recordings weaving their way meditatively through the soundscape."

A Hidden Place

Nordic Summer Nights

Inspired by the sad state of our planet Earth, and how we should act to save it as being the lush diverse beautiful planet sustaining us and all life on it. Here the track is as recorded live in a plant medicine ceremony, October 2022. Cover: Own photo from Iceland 2017

Snorri Hallgrímsson - Homeless (Instrumental Version)

Simple piano, lush strings, nature sounds and beats. A good track to get lost in.

LOST

Taken from the brand new ‘Boogie Beats’ compilation which is out on Boogie Angst, Vhyce is on sparkling form on this smooth boogie influenced house track. Say We Will features the fantastic vocals of Wolfgang Valbrun (Ephemerals) and Titeknots has stepped up with a very tasty remix.

Funk fueled guitars combine perfectly with an ever so danceable bassline to provide the perfect bed for a super soulful vocal. This one has the summer written all over it.Out now on Boogie Angst as part of the 'Boogie Beats' EP, featuring @KraakSmaak / @Vhyce / @Titeknots / @Kerceya / @Saine / @ELiveBeats
