Mastered by Andrea Porcu
Release date: 12.3.2021

Mind over MIDI a.k.a. Helge Tømmervåg is from Kristiansund on the north-west coast of Norway. He has been working with electronic music since the beginning of the 80's, first as a member of synth-pop band ToC, and later as Mind over MIDI. 

His early works was in the british experimental style, drawing inspiration from µ-ziq, Autechre and Aphex Twin. He then evolved into more minimal soundscapes inspired by a.o. Richie Hawtin/Plastikman and Mauritzio/Basic Channel, mixing this minimalistic approach with an "arctic" ambience and feel, inspired by a.o. Biosphere. 

With releases on labels such as Silent Season, Shimmering Moods, Rohs! and Beatservice in the early days. He has also contributed a short record to Hibernate Recs charity series and Whitelabrecs Home Diaries series.

The Meditations various artists compilation continues its exploration into sounds with exclusive tracks for this compilation series.

Hypnagogia

Monday, March 29th, is the official and long-anticipated Piano Day. What exactly is this annual worldwide event, and why is it special? Started only six years ago, in 2015, Piano Day began as an idea by the German pianist and composer Nils Frahm. Since the instrument has 88 keys, the “festivities” begin on the 88th day of the year, with many performances, exclusive releases, and workshops taking place around the globe. In the days of the current pandemic, many may find some solace in the online events, joined in by an extensive roster of artists ranging from contemporary classical to electronic music genres. 

There is much music to choose from – see the official schedule of all the events on painoday.org – and for this one lonely voice in a torrent of music, I decided to share a few of my favourite tracks, videos, and EPs. Check out the entire Piano Day feature on headphonecommute.com, meanwhile, enjoy this exclusive premiere of a longingly beautiful piece, titled "Inside" from Muriël Bostdorp's latest 4-track EP, coming out on Pianoramix imprint on April 2nd.

"This EP was written in the first period of the pandemic. I can remember the feeling I got the day we went into the first lockdown. It is difficult to describe in words, as I am not a writer or a poet. My words for these overwhelming emotions can be found within the pieces of this EP. Every track is a facet. ‘Save Me’ is not a cry for help, although it sounds like that. ‘Save Me’ is a call for hope – hope for different times, more self-conscious and new beginnings."

"The Distance Between Us" : just as the name states, it is the music representation of a yearning feeling of belonging. What could be, what could have been, what it cannot be anymore. This EP, consisting of two tracks, narrates a little story of love and affection. Something that as quick as it came through, it went, only to never come back. And maybe it's for the better, maybe it's not. We will never know. What we do know is that this will live on forever in the form of music, which is all that matters.

I share this song with all you lovers out there who are far away from your loved ones and cannot see them as much as you would like to. You've got this, wherever you are.

Préludes - Avant le Jeu

2021

Prélude No. 3

Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 (not to be confused with a series of German cars), attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. This is from around 1700 but sounds timeless to me.

Live video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGUBreY-6J8

I'm using the Nord Stage 2 sampled church organs and I've added some harpsichord to try to give it a little bit different feel. I only play the beginning and the end of the fugue (the middle part is less fun...) Organ (and harpsichord) are not the most expressive instruments - you can't control the volume of each note - yet this piece works so well and is so overwhelmingly beautiful.

Cute story: I remember attending church every Sunday when I was a kid and naively hoping they'd play this piece!

"This is a short story of a man who tries to realize if the life he has fought for is really what he was looking for. So, one morning he decides to take an 8day break from the everyday life, to reflect on what he has become, cause what he really wants as a human being, is just a little infinite shiny ray of true warm serenety.."

When I needed space, I needed you

Piano Day 2021 sees Nils Frahm surprise the world with his Erased Tapes debut. Wait, what? How? Anyone who has seen the trail blazing sonic pioneer live will know Nils likes to deadpan a joke. Graz is in fact the first studio album he recorded for the label back in 2009, that somehow remained a secret… until now.

Stream, download & pre-order Graz now (CD & LP shipping on May 21): https://idol.lnk.to/Graz 

"A grand piano is a particular kind of beast to play, which will only sound refined and beautiful if you command a strong control over the keyboard. Each slight change in touch results in a different timbre, which will be rewarded when used wisely and will be your trapdoor when you fail to hold the horses. I remember how I had to squeeze the music out of the grand piano in the Graz sessions, and while I enjoy listening to it now, I kept these recordings secret for a good while – they sound like a much younger version of myself to me, and a lot of the musical expressions from that time would be impossible for me to replicate today. Close friends whom I had shared the record with reminded me of it once in a while, and some of the pieces got released in other versions on the album Spaces in the meantime. But somehow, any piece of music you create wants to get out there in order to find you, which is why I’m glad to share this beast with you and do hope you enjoy listening to it too!
Love, Nils"
