The Delicate Strands of Life and Death – Solo Piano (Piano Day 2023)

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

Pensive Bells #pianoday2023

"Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is a new piano based single from Matt Mereport (out now !). The piece is named after the Latin phrase “Solvitur Ambulando”, meaning "it is solved by walking". 

It was influenced by the mental relief a walk (urban, countryside or otherwise) can create in these hectic, stressful and anxious times we’re in. 

The piece was released to coincide with this year’s Piano Day (29th March) organised by Nils Frahm. "Solvitur Ambulando (Spring version)" is included on the official Piano Day Spotify playlist, curated by Nils. It’s also available on the usual streaming and download sites.

Lužnice (Piano Day 2023)

When you look out the window and all you see is cold. And this goes on and on and on. But there is warmth inside of you. This little piece is about the warmth in the middle of cold. The hope in the middle of miserable events. The knowledge of sun in the middle of winter. Hang on to that, have patience, have persistence, because the cold will end one day.

Cumulus Eyes explores the connections and crossovers between the natural world and human emotions - the place where clouds and tears mingle.

Noumenon (Piano day 2023) #pianoday2023

When I got my Moog Grandmother, one of the first things I did was to record improvised takes on top of my favorite tracks. One hand on the keys, and the other on the knobs. Here I am playing along my favorite Gould X Laredo interpretation. The synth is at times too strong, at times too weak, but I left it untouched, the way it was recorded, eyes closed, with the intensity that felt right at that time.

Happy Piano Day!

Impressionist piece inspired by the experience of free diving--wandering and peaceful with a tinge of anxiety in the back of the mind.

Some musical elements are borrowed from my album "Seven Dreams of the Orb Weaver" https://soundcloud.com/skai-eriksson/sets/seven-dreams-of-the-orb-weaver.

Some inspiration from Debussy may be heard in the shifting tonal center and more overtly with the pentatonic runs.

To convey the irregular undulations of the sea and the uneven activity level of freediving I fully indulged in tempo rubato--I think I ended up with tempo rubato e rotto :-)

le courage d'aimer is an introspective end to the Trois petits morceaux piano EP.. it starts with a waltz but then the dream journeys on to tell a story of the heart..tribute to Piano Day.

Close your eyes
Let it go…
The feeling of impossibility
Lurking in the depths of the mind
Suffocating your Dreams

You can make it subside
Keep Hope Alive
The impossible is possible
The unreachable is reachable
Through the Love of others

It will come..
~SEC
