Pinning this one onto my wall because I love it.  I didn't make this.

I had an amazing Mush experience with Otto, Rain, Far and close, beside my friends, it becomes perpetual for all of Us. Thank you Ed, you reminds me all the best feelings from the deepest part of my mind.

Wonderful. Is this a treated acoustic piano? The sound is fantastic.

The Alvaret Ensemble - Ond

Paraply

This piece began its life in Nat Bartsch's soundtrack for the Australian documentary ‘Whatever Scares You’. The coming-of-age film centers around a young protagonist named Breanna who discovers she is neurodivergent. In a scene Breanna joins Nat at the piano and learns of Nat’s own experiences of neurodiversity. The piece seeks to capture Breanna’s vibrancy, determination, naiveté and vulnerability, qualities Nat also sees in herself. We hear Nat's jazz influences on the piano, infused with ethereal and minimalist textures.

Nat Bartsch - Breanna

UK composer, producer and singer-songwriter Tom Adams' new instrumental record Golden Waves arrives later this month - it features a set of 10 tracks blending Adams' delicate piano playing with a simple yet stunning layering of aetherial instrumentation including his unique falsetto vocals, subtle electronics, electric guitar and percussion. The result is a wash of sound influenced equally by modern-classical piano playing and post-rock / ambient groups such as Sigur Rós and A Winged Victory for the Sullen. With Golden Waves, Adams shows that he continues to be one of the most innovative voices in the scene. 

You can pre-order the album in digital and CD formats over at our Bandcamp store : https://modernarecords.bandcamp.com/album/golden-waves

And stream the 2nd single ‘First Wave’ on your favorite platform : moderna.ampl.ink/firstwave

'First Wave' is built around a harmonic progression of falling major and minor thirds that gives the music at once a sense of tonal identity and yet a centre that is constantly changing. As a result there is no real feeling of beginning and end, just a constant flow of music. I found this to be evocative of sitting on a beach and listening to the arrival of the waves, each somehow being the same yet also unique from the one before it...'' - Tom Adams

Elusive Frames

Ed Carlsen - Otto

Anne Lovett’s stunning new release for 1631 is a departure from her beautiful previous solo piano album Beyond (and below). Without loosing any of the startling beauty of the preceding album, in The Eleventh Hour, Anne Lovett revels in a new sonic world. Joined by the London Contemporary Orchestra , UK’s most innovative and respected ensemble routinely heard alongside such luminaries as Radiohead or Johnny Greenwood, and later in duo with phenomenal cellist and composer Oliver Coates, Anne Lovett also introduces subtle electronics interwoven carefully alongside layered melodic piano lines.

The main narrative for the album was conceived shortly after a new addition was brought in to Anne’s studio, a plantation chair which sat opposite her Grotrian-Steinweg grand piano. It led to intense hours of rethinking around the instrument itself and more generally about the seismic shifts that were taking place in society. The album is an attempt to reconcile the flaws of time. 

Best described by the Japanese concept of Kintsugi or “broken beauty”, The Eleventh Hour is a heartbreakingly beautiful contribution to the modern “indie” classical genre. The thirteen tracks all meticulously crafted and ringing out with a dark luminosity, like an elegy to our troubled times. 

It will appeal to fans of Dustin O’Halloran, Nils Frahm, Max Richter, Philipp Glass, Jóhann Jóhannson who will find many reasons to love this album .
