Live recording from a show in Japan at Guggenheim house where I previously recorded piano songs for Bite the Mountain. Here I am joined by some of my favorite musicians in Japan - Inada Makoto on double bass who also plays on Bite the Mountain, experimental drummer Yamagisan (and famous for her delicious handmade udon noodles), Kamei Naoko on clarinet and ICHI on Steel drum

Our Faces - home 4-track recording

This is a version of Window recorded at the guggenheim, Japan, with ICHI on steel pan. It was recorded for Bite the Mountain but we chose to use the studio ukulele version instead so not many ears have heard this one

HAU (Henning Schmiedt + aus) - Anywhere

http://flau.jp/releases/plays-eight-compositions/

ensemble 0 is a band who plays the compositions by its members and music by other living composers. The members can change according to each project. The founding members live in France (Joël Merah), Spain (Stéphane Garin) and Belgium (Sylvain Chauveau), with a rotating set of musicians from Western Europe. In 2016 a section of ensemble 0 has been created in Brussels featuring Florent Garnier, Jean-François Brohée, and Chauveau. This trio has spent one and a half year composing new acoustic pieces, playing them live, recording and mixing them. This is the music for this album on flau: 8 tracks with percussion, harmonium, ebows and guitar, with the addition of Thomas Jean Henri (aka Cabane) and Antoine Pasqualini (aka Monolithe Noir) as guests.

The original idea of the Brussels section of ensemble 0 was to create an acoustic repertoire with few instruments, so that all the equipment could be carried to perform the music anywhere (in the street, in parks, in appartments and in music venues). Finally a few touches of electricity have been added on the album with the presence of Antoine Pasqualini’s modular synth.

„Everything starts with the words: I am – je suis!“

Henning Schmiedt and Marie Séférian, French / German singer of Lebanese descent, team up for a carefully woven, yet fresh and spontaneous collaboration.

Meeting in Henning’s studio Klavierraum in the melting pot Berlin they create this charming post chanson album with a slow music attitude.
Consisting of only first take recordings, it masterfully combines piano, toy piano, harmonium, vocals and electronic textures, resulting in a minimalistic and yet rich and fluid union of sound.

Lyrics are flung into the air like glittering confetti, combining eclectic elements from chanson, Indian vocal scats und jazz with the warmth of the piano and the breathing of the harmonium. The result is a stunning and organic musical interplay.

“Je suis” – I am – everything begins here.

On maison Marie plays a music box that quotes a piece of Henning’s earlier work, nach hause from his release Spazieren, as though to answer and to close the thought’s circle: “I am, I’ve come home.”

Song from my most recent album Bite The Mountain which I recorded in Japan. This song is about onigiri which is a parcel of rice wrapped in seaweed with a surprise in the middle which is usually fishy!
