Autumn Colors

We're delighted to share the second single 'King's Cross, After Dark' from @petraleksander's upcoming record Collage. The piece can be imagined as a reflection on the tranquility that descends on the famous central London station when the day is over and the city sleeps ; the upright piano that graces the concourse plays a nostalgic melody, accompanied by sweeping string lines...

I've been recording this piano record in my living room with a lovely American made Charles Walter upright piano that I found on Craigslist - or maybe it found me - but this record captures three weeks in June when I create some compositions with it and added a few string parts as well.  Enjoy.

Provenance

Our 14th voice is Steven Longden, a Mancunian who converted to Islam in 1993. He tells the story of dressing up for prayers at a local mosque for one of his first Ramadans and his recollection of a beautiful recitation of the Qur'an. He also shares his own Arabic recitation.

14 Muslims, in their own words, speak about the delights and gravity of Islam's holiest month. Through vivid memories and light-hearted musings, they reveal the richness of Ramadan -- as a period of intimacy, and of parties; of getting up when the world is quiet for breakfast and prayers with one's family; of breaking the fast every day after nightfall in celebration and prayers with friends and strangers.
