Curated by one of the founders of SPITFIRE AUDIO pianobook is a collective sample project that aims to bring together a community of likeminded music makers to talk about their stories through the pianos they use, admire and are inspired by.

The start point is the belief that every piano has a story, we will tell that story and then, as part of that narrative, sample the piano to preserve it at that point of its timeline.

pianobook is a place to share stories, create something extraordinary, and learn something new about each other and our ourselves.

If you are curious to learn more about Chinese piano music, here are 5 reasons to discover Chinese piano music. 

1. Yin and Yang. This principle of the Chinese philosophy describes how obviously opposite forces may actually be complementary in the natural world, and how they may enrich  each other as they interrelate to one another. You will experience this philosophy emotionally when you hear how the melancholic and atmospheric sounding piano pieces and the staccato dancing, bouncing rhythmic fast pieces give rise to each other.
2. In Chinese musical symbolism the flowing chords, arpeggios and runs imitate water, which stands in their philosophy for emotions. You will get carried away by the manifold water elements in the piano music.
3. The music has flowing structures and is often using the high register of piano. This gives the music a peaceful and calm sound. You will feel how relaxing it is.
4. The music takes you in a world full of fantasy. Already the titles of the compositions stands for the mystery of Chinese culture: „Silver clouds chasing the moon”, „Twin Butterflies“, „Blue Sunset on the red-coloured river“ or „The Flowery Moon Night of Spring River”. Most of them are expressing the natural beauty of flowers, birds and landscapes.
5. Many piano pieces are folk song arrangements and are rooted in the Chinese culture. You will discover how Chinese composers express the beauty of the land and people by using Western compositional techniques. It is a living developing music.

If you are in Munich on the 11th of February it would be a pleasure if you join me on my “World Piano Tour”. I will play for you the amazing Chinese piano music and talking about my favourite compositions

New YouTube movie, I Could Have Lived Differently: https://youtu.be/CUDObEgZ4Do

Soundcloud took this track down twice accidentally because of copyright claims, but we had permission from the label..
This is a string collab with @rooydadofficial https://www.instagram.com/rooydad/

''I could have lived differently" describes the discrepancy between society's expectations and individual dreams and desires. Deep, clean sounds of the cello form the basis for an emotional and building violin melody creating a harmonious, cinematic string composition full of hope, that is characterized by Middle Eastern/Asian influences. I play acoustic violin here and also added cello lines.

The story behind it:
‘In my life, I was always at a crossroads. Between interests and pursuing my dreams and what society and family wants me to do. I could have lived differently. It is about the story of all the people who decide not to be like everyone else in the world. They have the courage to live differently the way they want to live. This is for those who say I will live differently if I go back in time. They go to their dreams without fear; however, Modern life and the world community make all people a completely identical  version and do not respect the different talents of individuals.’
~Armin

Elle est partie

Texte Muette
Chant : Camille Seneau
Musique : Alain Illos

Elle est partie, elle s’en va.
A moins que ce n’soit moi ?
Toutes les portes se ressemblent
Lorsqu’elle est de l’autre côté.
Toutes les issues sont bouchées
Et ma bouche se tait.
Qu’elle entre ou bien qu’elle sorte :
Le monde s’assemble ou tremble.

Quand ell’ passe en coup d’vent, ma nuit
Du dedans se retire.
Ell’ reprend un livre, un collier.
Pour les fringues, elle reviendra
J’la regarde avec mes « Je t’aime »
Qui voudraient bien sortir
Mais qui restent attachés
A mes cordes vocales.

REFRAIN
Elle est partie et j’suis bancal.
Comme le bateau ivre, je tangue.
J’ai plus le pied marin
Depuis qu’elle est à quai.
J’ai plus le pied marin
Depuis qu’elle est à qui ?

Elle est partie. Qui me l’a prise ?
A-t-ell’ lu dans mes yeux
Silencieux tout ce que j’ai tu ?
Tes mots, à qui les confies-tu ?
Pour qui détach's-tu tes cheveux
Que j’ai tant caressés ?
Qui vas-tu retrouver
D’un petit pas pressé ?

PONT
Cueillant son sac, ell’ dit « Il est quelle heure ? »
Et ses talons claquent, percutant mon cœur.
Qui a dit déjà qu’on r’connaît l’bonheur
Au bruit qu’il fait quand il s’en va ?

REFRAIN
Elle est partie et j’suis bancal.
Comme le bateau ivre, je tangue.
J’ai plus le pied marin
Depuis qu’elle est à quai.
J’ai plus le pied marin
Depuis qu’elle est à qui ?

Elle Est Partie. avec Camille Seneau

Ghost of Cassiopeia

A real improvisation in which space and time become one.
The space of a land to which one would like to return but end up not returning and the time now finished of an age that will never return.
This impro is dedicated to my great friend Luigi.

The space of one night

Questa composizione e` stata arrangiata e interpretata da
