Something I recorded at the beginning of the year at home.. warts and all

Disquiet Improv

'Sea Shores' is the debut album of Polaroid Notes. It tries to capture the grandeur of the sea, its beauty and the deep unexplored secrets beyond. It reflects the transience of nature and its constant change. Whether it be towering mountains, expansive hot desert or the deep blue sea, Polaroid Notes is influenced by the majestic width and overwhelming power of nature. 
'Sea Shores' is cinematic in sound, as Polaroid Notes are spun from simple yet effected piano keys with wave upon wave of stark, arresting drones.

I´m glad you found me and making music is the best I know.
When I composed the album "Shadowdance" I tried to make sense of the beauty when melody and harmony interact and with the wish that this will affect the listener.
I wrote it to put into sound that which cannot be expressed through words. 
To navigate the waters of the deep soul. 
To explore the melodies that flow in my veins.
Please share my music with your friends if you like it.

Have a nice day,
Kristoffer.

“As Time Goes By” is a collection of unreleased songs and outtakes. 

During the recording session for the “Days Of Our Lives” EP (released on Audio Gourmet in August 2017) a couple of tracks remained unfinished and unreleased. Together with some new recordings done in autumn and some “lost” tracks of the album “Unsung Memories” (released on Whitelabrecs in October 2017) I thought it would be a good idea to collect them for this new mini album. As a bonus are included two older tracks which I rediscovered during cleaning off dust from older recordings. (PN) 

----------------- 

“As Time Goes By” and “When The Moon Dies” – New tracks, recorded in November 2017 when days are getting shorter and darker. 

“Cold Star” – An atmospheric ambient piece that didn’t manage to be part of the “Unsung Memories” album. Got lost somehow during the recording sessions. 

“Crooked Road” – First take of a track that later became “Crooked Road To Monviso” of the “Days Of Our Lives” EP. Conceived at a camping site in the Barolo area in Italy with an amazing view to the Monviso mountain in the Cottian Alps. 

“Ligurian Night Ride” and “Beyond Earth & Sea”– Two additional outtakes of the same session, recorded July 2017. Both tracks are deeply inspired by the beautiful landscape of the Liguarian coast. 

“All You Need Is Sleep” and “Small Town Secrets”– Two unreleased piano miniatures, sort of a distant echo of the cinematic “Unsung Memories” album. Maybe a preview of future episodes… 

 “Return To Echo Bay” – Rework of the track “Echo Bay” from the first album “Sea Shores” (released May 2015 on Tessellate Recordings), done for Nils Frahm’s Piano Day in March 2017. 

“Midnight Flow” – Recorded in 2015, originally intended for a compilation which never saw the light of day.

FLOAT proudly welcomes their second artist into the fold. UK electronic artist and Szun Waves band member Luke Abbott, presents a special 10-track album to celebrate Piano Day 2019 – an international event series initiated by Nils Frahm which acts as a platform for piano-related projects. 

“It's a very self-contained body of work, I haven't ever made music with this kind of sound pallet before” – Luke Abbott

‘Music for the Edge of an Island’ sees Abbott divert from his typically experimental electronic style to explore a more compositional approach centred around VST instruments. Rather than the usual themes of synthesis and improvisation, the album is lead by piano motifs, structured around emotive melodies and sparkling arrangements. The record began as a part of a soundtrack commission by producer / actor Jessica Hynes for her film ‘The Fight’ and ultimately became a fully-realised album. The film script had a coastal setting that created the record’s thematic idea: “I had this idea about being on the edge of England, almost ready to fall off a cliff into the sea but keeping your balance on the edge.”

This June 7th, we're releasing Tom Adams' LP 'Particles' - a series of explorations for piano & electronics. 

▶ CD/DL pre-order + stream the lead single : https://orcd.co/tomadamsparticles

The Berlin based producer and songwriter originally did a small 'soundcloud only' self-release of the record in 2014, and we were stunned by the singular vision and voice present in each of the album's explorations. We're very pleased to be giving this record a worldwide release in CD format and on all digital platforms, with a new master by fellow Berliner / sound artist Martyn Heyne.

Hania Rani is a pianist, composer and musician who splits her life between Warsaw, where she makes her home, and Berlin where she studied and often works. She has written for strings, piano, voice and electronics and has collaborated with the likes of Christian Löffler, Dobrawa Czocher and Hior Chronik, and released an album with her Polish group tęskno last year. She has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in Europe - from the National Philharmony in Warsaw, to Funkhaus in Berlin, to The Roundhouse in London (where she made her debut at the Gondwana 10thanniversary festival last October) and at festivals such as Open'er, Scope Festival and Eurosonic. Her compositions for solo piano were born out of a fascination with the piano as an instrument, and her desire to interpret its sound and harmonic possibilities in their entirety and in her own way.

'Esja' is her debut solo album and for Rani it is her first, real, personal statement as an artist. "No hiding behind the "collaborations" or "projects" anymore. For the very first time, finally - just me, as I am".

Recorded at Rani's apartment in Warsaw (the piano room has a beautiful reverb and the space has become part art studio and part sound laboratory for Rani) and at her friend Bergur Þórisson'sstudio in Reykjavik, Esja is a series of beautiful melodic vignettes. Sensual, sensitive, rhythmic, atmospheric, free but harmonious, beguiling and hypnotic, collectively they project a sense of unlimited space and time.

Following on from last year's acclaimed debut with Erased Tapes The Transition — named #17 album of the year by The Sunday Times — Californian singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Allred returns with 'The Cell', released on June 14th. Listen to lead track 'Nature's Course', released especially for Piano Day.

“Nature’s Course is a feeling pertaining to the way our subjective human experience is subconsciously directly related to the slow steady pace of nature and our ability to cope with our inner struggles accordingly” explains David.

The Cell further cements David’s place among the American songwriting tradition, from the slow methodical spacey instrumental Mandatory Soul to the poetic solo piano number Family and the dense and continuous Lexington Hills. With each piece we are transported to David’s unusual but rich and textured little world.

Hailing from Loomis, a small town outside of Sacramento, via Portland, Oregon – David worked as a sound engineer and session musician, featuring on multiple recordings by the likes of Birger Olsen, Brigid Mae Power, Brumes, The Beacon Sound Choir, Chantal Acda, Heather Woods Broderick, Jung Body, Masayoshi Fujita, and many more. He quickly found himself touring Europe with Peter Broderick, culminating in a Royal Festival Hall performance, and contributing the arresting voice and double bass piece Ahoy to the Erased Tapes 10th anniversary box set 1+1=X.

David will return to Europe with more dates to be announced soon.
