Two spherical mirrors reflecting the whole world face each other, and the eternally recurring process of reflection is a confrontation of ego and non-ego that continues until the point of convergence. When an individual included in the "whole" tries to recognize the "whole," it is forever unable to grasp the "whole," even if it tries to grasp it accurately, because it is included in the "whole." The work of mutual transformation that occurs when the "I" and the "other" face each other continues endlessly. Using each other as a mirror, we find, circulate, and permeate the image reflected in the mirror. The image reflected in the mirror is a projection of "I" and at the same time it reflects the world around me. In this way, the ego found in the mirror is at the same time the world (non-self) in the outside world, which dissolves into the "whole" through infinite r eflection.

The way in which the vision generated in the spherical mirrors develops into the "world" is this "world" itself, in which the image that arises inside of us develops

Sommernatt

⊜ spotify

Sten Erland Hermundstad - Sommernatt

This is the 2nd piano piece co-composed by Danish musicians Jacob David and Søren Tarding; Moon Song is a simple pattern that evolves beautifully throughout the piece, eventually revealing its heartfelt melody - just like the moon slowly rising over the landscape before enveloping us in her glow. With David's subtle touch at the piano, this piece is irresistible.

Moon Song

Jacob David & Søren Tarding - Moon Song

''This piece is multilayered, interweaving analogue synthesis with soft felted piano and post-tape lo-fi processing. The slowly receding and dissolving piano melody resonates on a very personal level, like a fading photograph or an old forgotten cassette, evoking buried fragments of a memory, even as it is being created at this very moment. The piece attempts to capture a slice of time during which you are fully aware that even this experience will pass; that even this short-live and happy moment one day will still evoke a tear. But you must let it go. And leave all this behind again.'' - Mike Lazarev @headphonecommute

Håpefull

Ole-Bjørn Talstad - Håpefull

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.

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

Tambour - The Nude And The Quiet

It's like the warm embrace of a true self, at last emerging from a long winter of alienation; an ode to radical authenticity and unabashed self-expression; a gentle reminder of the richness and interconnectedness of the human heart. To an increasingly cold and complex world, this waltz answers with simplicity and warmth—an expression of personal beauty and longing for connection, reaching out to other contemplative souls. It is the latest composition from Utah-based neoclassical pianist Daniel Driskill.

Eternal Solitude

“Intimacies” is a different kind of twin to “Intimacy,” and just as “Intimacy” opened the first volume, this opens the second. Besides serving as the album’s opening, it’s a song with several melodic references to various moments on both albums. In my opinion, this song could almost be described as an overture.
