Breathe easy and get lost in thought with the reflective piano piece 'Through the Window' by Brooklyn based pianist and producer Thomas Michel. This first collab together is a momentary rêverie to accompany a relaxing walk or a quiet day spent reading. You can spin it wherever you find your music now.

Nader Abbassi, Franz Liszt  Piano Concerto no 2 Cyprien Katsaris

Two New Zealand artists from completely different musical worlds have combined forces to create a stunning and unique collaboration.

Former Midnight Youth lead vocalist and songwriter Jeremy Redmore possesses one of the most recognised voices in New Zealand music, while Levi Patel is a rising star in the world of modern classical and ambient music.

Written and recorded in a variety of ways over the course of three years - in-person and remote, in bedrooms, studios, cities and wilderness - the Migrations EP is a project of contrasts between sonic worlds, beginnings and endings, intimacy and distance.

“There are places this project took my voice to that it had never been before,” Redmore says.

Worlds Apart comes from the pair's Migrations EP.

Jeremy Redmore and Levi Patel - Worlds Apart

Lars Danielsson & Mathias Eick - Duos From Liberetto II - III Violet

This is the 12th track and a nostalgic and little sad piano song which has atmosphere that makes you feel autumn, included in '24 Piano Sketches' that is a new solo album from Yuki Murata, the Tokyo-based pianist/composer and member of the cinematic instrumental music band, Anoice, and its side projects, RiLF and Films.

As the name suggests, '24 Piano Sketches' includes 24 piano songs which Yuki Murata plays improvisations on her own grand and upright pianos. This long project is going to add 2 songs every month and ultimately 24 songs in one year, allowing the listeners to feel the changing of the season in real-time via the beautiful, warm, and sometimes melancholic piano sounds.

This time, she purposely selected a cassette tape recorder, a MiniDisc player, and an early generation of iPhone as the recording equipments for each song, unlike studio albums from her own bands such as Anoice. These retro and simplistic recording devices were able to capture not only a creaking noise coming from the piano and the environmental sounds outside the window, but also a noise occurred by cheap microphones, which make this album so impressive. Its nostalgic soundscape may remind her listeners of her first solo album 'Films' and second solo album 'Home'.

The photos taken by her bandmate of Anoice, Takahiro Kido, on his Polaroid camera every season, are adopted as the cover images of each single, and they will added together with the songs to the following BandCamp page every time a single is released.

You should feel the changing of the seasons with the beautiful piano melodies.

I tell my stories through my own composed (and improvised) instrumental guitar music, using a combination of acoustic guitars, sometimes supported by orchestral instruments. Some have described my music as meditative, relaxing, and introspective, with a touch of melancholia and a distinctly Spanish flair. Listen for yourself and let me know what stories my music tells you.
