I like the latter introduction of a faster tempo. The music is complicated and reflects a great composer. This is beautiful stuff. I can imagine you in Craiova's National Theatre. You are a star.

I really like this. I was watching something else and this came up and I was stopped.

The Seagull (album excerpt)

Happy Piano Day!

88th day of the year again today, same as the number of the keys on a piano, and the pandemic is still a reality! Piano Day was invented to let likeminded people, piano lovers, piano players, tuners, builders, movers and of course, listeners, communicate with each other. But more importantly, to spread a message of hope and a proof that we can still celebrate life, and escape whenever we want into the safe universe of music.

“Celestial” is my contribution for this year’s piano celebration! Being filmed on “Spring Equinox”, the first day of astronomical spring (aka the moment the Sun crosses the celestial equator), in a one-shot camera circular movement, reminiscent of a planet’s orbit…Do you think we are important? Do you think covid19 is worth the hype? Let’s take a step back and realize the impact that planetary movements have to human-scale reality. Just the right tilt, in the right time, and we have this orchard of blooming beauty.

Rachel Grimes -  Earthly Heaven

Thessaloniki-based composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Manos Milonakis debuts on piano and coffee records with "The Seagull", a synopsis of his original score for Russian dramatist Anton Chekhov’s play of the same name, directed by Yiannis Paraskevopoulos for theatres of Greece and Romania.

The first musical lines of this project were drawn while in Romania, where together with the director, Milonakis travelled to prepare a show for Craiova’s National Theatre. The post-communist atmosphere, the humid streets, the sense of modern balkan darkness contrasting with incredibly vivid painted walls, strong flavors, smells, and amazingly passionate and friendly people would be decoded into music for the classic Russian play. The thirteen tracks in "The Seagull" blend melancholic piano melodies, soaring strings, gentle electronics, atmospheric haze, and evocative soundscapes. Sometimes discreet and others at the forefront of a strong narrative, each piece pours itself into the other like communicating vessels, coexisting with romantic encounters, philosophical arguments, family quarrels and a series of unanticipated arrivals and departures. Piece by piece, Milonakis masterfully introduces us into a world of frustrated lives and unrequited love.

Even though "The Seagull" was composed in 2015, a year before his previous release, "Festen", it took Milonakis significantly more time to decide it was the right moment to release it. “During these years and working in-between other projects”, he says, “I sometimes looked back in my hardrives and these recordings always resonated inside my heart. Having performed the music extensively in concerts was also revealing an urge to me: that I should probably share this stuff with the world”. This brought him to Denmark, where he had the pleasure to have some piano re-recorded and the full album freshly re-mixed by Ed Carlsen at his studio in Kongens Lyngby.

"The Seagull" releases on 13 March 2020 via piano and coffee records worldwide, and is available on limited edition CD and digital formats, with artwork by London-based illustrator Jordan Amy Lee.
