We welcome back Melany Thompson with her new single “Slowing Time”. In this heartfelt piece, the Australian pianist invites us to pause and breathe. Performed on her own acoustic piano, each carefully weighted note unfolds with delicate stillness. A gentle reminder to slow down and feel. ad21

From the heartfelt original composition À Milli by Anastasiya Ihnatovich, included in our Piano Whispers 01 compilation with arrangements by Bruno Sanfilippo, we now present À Milli Reworked, delicately reinvented with real strings by composer Felipe Lima. The piece now carries a cinematic, melancholic beauty. Each note unfolds with grace, inviting the listener on a peaceful and pastoral journey. With this release, we warmly welcome two new talents to the ad21 family: Anastasiya Ihnatovich, a neoclassical pianist from Minsk, Belarus, whose music speaks with honesty and emotion. Felipe Lima, a Brazilian composer focused on film, series, and visual storytelling, bringing deep sensitivity and atmosphere. A luminous collaboration that celebrates subtlety, emotion, and the power of reinterpretation. ad21

À Milli Reworked

ad21 present “Miranova”, the hauntingly beautiful new piano piece by Irish composer Mars Shanley. Blending stillness and emotion, this  meditative composition creates a melancholic yet serene atmosphere, a space of silence, memory, and gentle introspection. Miranova was born from a quiet return to the self, not a dramatic transformation, but a soft, steady awakening. Guided by ancestral strength and feminine grace, this is music for those who feel deeply, who move through grief, and rise not to resist, but to stand in truth.

ad21 present 'Morfologías', an impressive new mini EP by Argentine pianist and composer Ariel Goitía. Written for piano and strings, these three cinematic pieces explore the subtle transformations of emotion through sound. From the depth of 'Máscara y Esencia', where a muted piano and warm cello lines create a delicate dialogue, to the immersive expressiveness of 'Espejos del Ser', driven by evocative phrasing and graceful violin textures, this work is a poetic journey through inner landscapes.  Listen in stillness.
