I like the waltz tempo. Words are coming to me. I like how this feels. I will spend some time with this and see if what I come up with can complement this great piece. I see the feel of the music in so many foreign films that I have loved. You create atmosphere.

Lovely piano and orchestration on this track.  Lovely waltz.

'Solemnis' was composed and released through Sanfilippo's personal Label ad21 in Buenos Aires, just the year of its foundation, in 1998. This work was opportunely presented in Compact Disc (1.000 copies). In the creation process Bruno used - as in the previous two albums still discontinued - a MIDI sequencer Alesis MMT-8, a Kawai K4r synthesizer, the Ensoniq EPS 16+ sampler, the EMU Proteus 2 and 3, and an Alesis Quadraverb processor, today those are clearly vintage...

Recorded by Bruno Sanfilippo at Osiris Studio, Buenos Aires, 1997
Assistant Engineer: J.Manuel 'Puppy' Bordiga
Graphic Design: Adrián Segal
Cover Illustration: Sebastián Drouville
Mastered CD by Javier Cosentino,  Buenos Aires, 1997
Remastered at Splendour Mastering, Barcelona, 2019

Bruno is an Argentinian classically trained musician, producer, and composer based in Barcelona who writes for strings, piano, and electronics.  In 1998 he started as a producer for ad21, a personal platform and label. His Piano Textures series, started in 2007, is one of Sanfilippo’s most representative set of recordings, but he has also gained wider recognition in modern music – one of his piano compositions formed the basis for Canadian rapper Drake’s seminal hit, ‘Started From The Bottom’.

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.
