We are pleased to present the second in a series of piano-based releases in celebration of this year’s Piano Day. 

Our label joins forces with Leipzig-based pianist and composer Lorenz Weber to release two long-form compositions for solo piano under the name of ray of hope – a project that gives the listener space and time to lie down for a while, close their eyes, and perceive the individual tones and the silence in-between each note. summer and rain, winter and sun. At first glance, they may seem opposite. However, they are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary forces. The rain in summer and the sun in winter let us know that everything will be alright.

ray of hope will be available digitally on the 1st of April, featuring artwork by Jordan Amy Lee.

Hello everyone, I would like to show you my new album "Pereehali". This is my third album, it was written and recorded in the summer of 2012. After a long writer's block that was caused by a very pretentious and bombastic second album I decided to make a really intimate, solo-piano work. I lived in the countryside during the recording sessions, and every recording was done by me tête-à-tête with my lovely piano in the wooden house. It was a priceless experience working and writing while having a close contact with nature, it helped me a lot to understand the music I compose, to make it more organic, touching and moving.
