Impetus - All Given To Machinery

As some of you already know, I'm not too big on social media. Sure, I'll use some of the more popular outlets to share these words on all this music, mostly because I think that's where you all hang out. Sometimes it feels like entering a packed and loud bar and just quietly saying in the corner, "Hey, did you hear about this new album by Akira Kosemura?" and then retreating for the night to my quiet studio, where the noise in my memory of this encounter is finally relieved by the sound of the piano keys. I feel like every year, I make an offhand comment about the insanity of the world, and every year it seems to get a little worse. The news, in particular, appears to be an amplified magnet of defilements intensely blinking for attention at the top of the roof. But I won't comment on the headlines and instead attempt to make my own. Today I am premiering for you a piece from Kosemura's new soundtrack for a film called "Rudy", which is scheduled to be released via his own Tokyo-based Schole imprint on September 15th. This is a beautiful collection of 31 vignettes, where "the piano plays a central role, and the listener is transported by the emotion of the compositions of this internationally acclaimed pianist." The human condition is explored on every single track, with a slightly melancholy, touching, quiet tone, perfectly capturing the overall sentiment of the storyline, whether the images unfold on the screen or in my mind behind closed eyelids. I think you will enjoy this little gem.

Like the lava that forges the mountain, by the solar blood that burns the destiny, We recite the forgotten rites. Marble is death, Dark are the offerings. The farewell to the void hums, primitive hymns building the temple. Circle of hands and bones, we sing the collapse, let the beings of the ritual be born.

Hope Rings Brightly

An omnipresent sense of duality lingers, as with the ivory and ebony colours of piano keys, or the birth and decay of seasons.

Save Me Not - the new album out now: https://sebastianplano.ffm.to/savemenot

Cellist, composer and producer Sebastian Plano is best known for his unique approach to music creation: Uninterrupted nights playing and recording every single note by himself in his Berlin studio, layering each musical phrase at a time. Creating entire ensembles by oneself makes for a distinctive sound, the genre of which becomes difficult for anyone to categorize.
His recent album “VERVE” got Sebastian Plano a nomination at the 62nd Grammy Awards in 2019.

Plano began playing the cello at age 7, and writing music at 12. He later left his home city of Rosario, Argentina, driven by a strong cello-soloist career ambition. It is only after years of dedicated study in renown conservatories across the world, that he chose the path of composition instead, leaving conductors and black suits behind him.

After a well-received solo debut “Arrhythmical Part of Hearts”, which he promoted busking at San Francisco’s subway stations, he went to meet with Nils Frahm in Berlin to master his second title “Impetus”. He later released “Novel” in 2017, a 2-track EP featuring former Kronos Quartet’s cellist Jeffrey Zeigler as a guest artist. Then scoring, alongside Ben Lukas Boysen, the award-winning Playstation game ‘Everything’ and more recently, writing and performing string arrangements for British singer-songwriter Celeste. 
Sebastian Plano received a Grammy Awards nomination for his last album ‘Verve’ released on Mercury KX in 2019.
