From The album Ver Sacrum. 
"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.

Little Hands

Under the warm, golden sun of a tranquil afternoon, Sophia sat on a terrace overlooking the azure waters of Santorini. The whitewashed buildings and vibrant blue domes of the island formed a picturesque backdrop, while the gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming bougainvillea. In this serene setting, a relaxed chill piano and guitar instrumental titled "Halcyon" played softly in her mind, each note a tender echo of her memories.

As the music flowed, Sophia reminisced about her childhood on this beautiful Greek island. She remembered the laughter of family gatherings, the taste of fresh olives and feta, and the joyous festivals that lit up the streets with music and dance. The piano’s soothing melody intertwined with the gentle strumming of the guitar, capturing the essence of those blissful days.

Her mind wandered to the endless summer afternoons spent exploring the island’s hidden coves, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and watching the breathtaking sunsets that painted the sky in hues of orange and pink. Each moment was a cherished part of her past, a time of pure happiness and simplicity.

With the harmonious blend of piano and guitar as her companion, Sophia felt a deep sense of peace and gratitude. The halcyon days of her youth in Santorini were a treasure she held close to her heart, forever serenaded by the gentle, nostalgic melodies of "Halcyon."

Featured on Sonder House’s Recollections, Vol. 4 compilation, “Silver Fleece” is Blurstem’s first release since the 2019 debut album, Among the Oaks. It was recorded as a one-take improvisation on his friend John Hayes’ piano (who is also on the compilation) - a glimpse of peace and calm in our world’s chaotic times right now.

As most of the readers of Headphone Commute are musicians in their own right, they should already be familiar with the Berlin-based Martyn Heyne, who should be known to them as the owner of Lichte Studio, in which so many experimental, ambient, and modern classical albums have been recorded, mixed, mastered, and produced. These include some of the releases by Aukai, Tambour, Kelly James Wyse, Ceeys, Shida Shahabi, Tom Adams, Luke Howard, and Hecq, among the many others. But, of course, since I'm running this track premiere today, Heyne is also an outstanding composer, first appearing on my radar (and indeed these pages) with his 2017 release, Electric Intervals on 7k!. What may be surprising among all of this is that Heyne is also a fantastic guitar player, showcasing his favorite instrument on the upcoming solo album, titled Open Lines. Well, actually, he plays more than one instrument on the album. Among his performance on the electric, acoustic, 12-string, and classical guitar, Rhodes, bass, and piano, there's also the kalimba, bongos, and bells! Not to mention the appearance of the wonderful Anne Mülle on the cello on a couple of tracks, and the Finnish percussionist, Tatu Rönkkö on the drums, with whom Heyne has played live as Efterklang. The album traverses the boundaries of contemporary classical, krautrock, slow-shuffling jazz, and everything in between. The heart of the release, touching upon all of the above-mentioned aesthetics, and my favorite piece as well, is a track titled "Neuwerk." And that is precisely why I am happy to share it with you today.
