"Restive is about patterns of thought: the flow of words and the stream of consciousness within our minds. There is an underlying expression of a certain amount of turmoil, but also that of optimism as we juggle between concerns, variables and positive outcomes."

Drift into a daydream with the piano stylings of @jeroendirrix, floating along that boundary between the waking world and sleep. This joyful melody, so tastefully delayed through an analogue tape machine, washes away the stresses of the present while evoking better days ahead. This perfect blend of nostalgia is the dutch composer's entry in our 2021 Piano Day collection Splices.

Triptych II for Piano

Pêtr Aleksänder - Triptych II for Piano

Following an exclusive video premiere of Sylvain Texier‘s project as Ô Lake back in 2018, I have praised his debut release, titled Refuge, highlighting it in my Best of the Year lists a year later. This summer, Texier is back with a new release, Gerry, subtitled Music inspired by the motion picture from the eponymous film of director Gus Van Sant, following a story of two men (both named Gerry) who are tested in the California desert on their friendship and a will to survive. Originally commissioned by Travelling film festival, this work was designed to be performed as a cine-concert. “Singular, poetic and contemplative, the film offers immense musical possibilities, due to the length of its shots and its near absence of dialogues,” says Texier of the project. Although not an official soundtrack, the music follows the film and its aesthetics closely every step of the way. Just as the director experiments with the artistic approach on the duration of each visual shot, Texier focuses on the space between the notes, the atmosphere and silence. On the surface, “Death Valley” is a simple, lovely piece, but listen deeper, with the aid of closely placed microphones, follow the melody walk upwards into the light, bathe in the soft resonance produced by the natural reverberation of the piano board, and you will surely unveil all its beauty. I love everything about this project, especially the idea of writing music for an inspiring visual piece. Perhaps I shall try my hand at it also…

"From the very beginning of the creative process, I wanted my music and the film to be one and the same, for this new soundtrack to be as close as possible to the director's intentions and to be considered the real soundtrack."

It's the 1st advance from my forthcoming album ‘Ver Sacrum’, out on March 10 through ad21
"Spectral and haunting, there’s an almost monastic quality to ‘Sacred Spring’, the first piece to be taken from pianist and composer Bruno Sanfilippo’s forthcoming new album ‘Ver Sacrum’. An air of quiet solitude too; poignant strings wash in and out of focus punctuated by a slow, melancholic organ line. Like all his best work, it’s emotionally resonant yet quietly captivating, a master class in mood and shadow" Derek Robertson, journalist and music writer: Guardian, Independent, NME, VICE, Timeout, The Quietus, The Face.

Cambria was originally written while being rained in, in a beautiful little cabin on the California coast overlooking the Cambria shoreline and finally recorded in my parents living room on their 1917 Feurich upright while visiting them during the winter of 2019. 
It's the first piece in a series of four pieces, all recorded during that visit.
