Phases

PIANORAK is the third solo album by Lumiere, aka Thanasis Christodoulou. PIANORAK is an album based entirely on classical piano. The main inspiration for the album was an autumn train trip to rainy central and eastern Europe in September 2019. Starting in Bulgaria and ending in Poland, with many stops in different countries, this journey was musically captured by Lumiere with six tracks corresponding to six cities on the journey, cities that often seemed like variations of each other. Notes: The word anorak, in English slang, is also used to describe people who spend hours watching trains (trainspotters).

The album was recorded in the summer of 2021 at Artracks Studio in Athens while the mixing and mastering was done by Jacob Pavek in Minessota.
