051824 002-- 2nd "Ethereum-Studio" Meditation on 5/18/'24

This 29th of March is the first piano day and I'd love to share a piece of my thoughts and live this memorable event with the rest of the world.

** Merganzer's first full length album, "Mirror Maze" is now available here: https://merganzer.bandcamp.com **
Wonderful German pianist Nils Frahm has declared March 29th, the 88th day of the year, world "Piano Day" so, in honour of this celebration, here's a sneak preview of a track from Merganzer's upcoming full-length record that makes use of this tender and timeless instrument. 
Merganzer is the new experimental pop project of Violinist Mika Posen (Timber Timbre, Agnes Obel). Most of her music is built around strings and keyboards, but "Ganz Großes Kino" was written and recorded on an old acoustic upright piano late one night in Berlin during the early winter of 2014. String sounds and tape delay were added later on back in Canada.


Ganz Großes Kino

“Why does the world need a Piano Day? For many reasons. But mostly, because it doesn’t hurt to celebrate the piano and everything around it: performers, composers, piano builders, tuners, movers and most important, the listener.” – Nils Frahm

Some years ago (circa 2001) I wrote this piano piece based on evocative verse by Emily Bronte

“And from the midst of cheerless gloom
I passed to bright unclouded day.”

When Frieder Nagel got the invite to use a part of the city park Nuremberg for an installation, he teamed up with light artist Stephan Scheiderer "to make music livable again“: When park goers passed by an old, majestic plane tree, it automatically sprung to life (thanks to some complicated motion sensors installed and hidden by the two) - and the first soft notes of „Calm Territory“ beckoned people to stop and spend some time by this historic tree.

All tracks written, produced & mixed by Frieder Nagel.

Calm Territory is part of Sonido Blanco, an audiovisual work of art by Frieder Nagel (music) & Stephan Scheiderer (lighting designer). This installation was presented during Lost & Found, an art circuit in Nuremberg, Germany in 2020. Played on a combination of prepared pianos including Klavins Una Corda.

In the last years, Styller’s reputation has become that of a multi-genre DJ, mixing genres that arbitrarily do not pair well together. The result is a powerful journey, a mosaic of emotion and energy that does not pertain to dancing only. His eclectic mixing skills are undoubtedly the reason for his nickname being chosen by those that are close to him.

While the beginning of his career is riddled with producing progressive house, from 2011 and onwards he has been successfully producing progressive trance, and as such his records have been published on all major trance labels like Armada Music, Coldharbour Recordings, or Perfecto Records, supported by all the big-name DJs on the scene.

A year later in 2012, together with Basil O’Glue they established their own label called Saturate Audio, which with its releases strikes a balance between the worlds of progressive house and trance. Famous and up and coming producers with great potential have been featured on the label, the records of which you will periodically find in the music charts and radio shows of famous DJs and producers. In its five years since the inception of Saturate Audio, the label has become acknowledged as a small, but very significant one in the genre, with two huge compilations mixed by Styller and Basil O’Glue. Saturate Audio Immersed I. and II. portray all the intricacies of the artists involved and enjoyed positive reviews from both official reviewers and fans.

Presently, Styller has returned back to his roots of producing organic & progressive house and his matured production skills contain elements from all the years leading up to this very moment. His sound could only be described as organic, ethnic, full of harmony, melancholy, and many different elements.
