The Ship of Theseus

Il y a toujours eu un piano à la maison. Mon oncle Pascal en jouait parfois, ma mère à de rares occasions. Moi je n'ai jamais "appris", mais j'écoutais, m'aventurais parfois à pianoter quelques notes… Ce que j'ai continué à faire jusqu'à aujourd'hui, écouter beaucoup, pianoter un peu. Il y a toujours un piano ici qui ne sert pas beaucoup, avec sous chaque touche cette sorte d'émotion latente, particulière, au potentiel immense, qui ne demande qu'à être activée par un toucher sensible. Et cela tout le monde en est capable, musicien-ne ou pas. D'où cette idée de faire un mix spécial Piano Day, avec un maximum de contributions originales enregistrées pour l'occasion. J'ai lancé des invitations à participer, trouvé un bon micro à prêter - merci Yvan! - et enregistré quelques beaux moments, la plupart improvisés (ou presque). Parmi les participant-e-s, il y a des ami-e-s dont la musique n'est pas forcément la pratique principale (ou le piano pas forcément l'instrument de prédilection) et d'autres que je ne connais pas mais dont la musique m'a touché lors de mes pérégrinations internautiques... Ci-dessous la playlist, et encore plus bas des liens pour suivre les artistes qui vous auront le plus fait vibrer. Bonne écoute!

Mélancolie douce XXVIII (Spéciale Piano Day)

Euan from Glacis and I have been friends for a while and we've appreciated each other's music for much longer. So why not do something together? The first official result of our Scottish-Bavarian friendship is this 5-track EP ‘Reflections’, which we recorded over a period of a few months via file sharing. Euan performed the piano parts, I played electric piano and the other sounds.

The EP is a foretaste of the full album ‘Time Is Coming To An End’, which will be released this autumn on Whitelabrecs. None of the tracks on this EP will be on the album.

Release on Paino Day 2025

Tracklist:
1. Reflections / 2. He Smiles In The Mirror / 3. To Be Watched / 4. In The End There Is Truth / 5. A Long Time Back

All tracks written and performed by Glacis & Polaroid Notes
Mixed and mastered by Polaroid Notes

Release date: March 29, 2025

Glacis & Polaroid Notes - Snippets of Reflection EP

For Piano Day 2025...A companion piece to "The Magic Forest".

"There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." - Edith Wharton

Candlelight - Piano Day 2025

I started to formally learn piano when I was 23 years old. It was very difficult in the beginning, fortunately, I had good, VERY PATIENT, teachers. The first movement was one of the first "long" pieces I learned. The second movement, well... I didn't studied it with them, just by myself, but everytime I lose my temper, I remember what they taught me and how to keep going.
"Listen", "Practice", "Focus", "Breathe", "Be brave".

To my teachers.
Happy Piano Day!

My recordings of playing piano - please enjoy! 
(I'm mainly self-taught.)

I am a pianist and composer in Maine; USA

My album "The Bleak Midwinter" was released October 2016. "A Distant Arcade" was released July 2022.

Thank you for listening!

Aspiring film composer.

love the dark, sad, experimental and hazy side of things, hypnotic loops and damaged sounds. massive horror geek. not without a sense of humour. partner in crime with Shelley and Loren.

if you're questioning why or how i'm able to upload on a frequent basis, simply put - i have A LOT of time on my hands at this point in my existence, a wealth of music/sounds to draw upon, and a decent collection of software to make things (e.g. both the synth and fx arturia vst collections). i'm not just auto-generating ai pieces ad nauseum, at the same time i have nothing against using ai in the creative process, but not as an outright replacement for creation. i really think the witch hunt over it all is a bit ridiculous, fueled by the greed pig corporate media companies mostly. 

one thing i've learned about making at least a little bit of money from streaming my music beyond measley penny scraps, i have to upload frequently and i've been experimenting with reuploading/reposting my tracks for better play counts (for now), if even it only results in cutting costs.

Antonin is an artist from Brussels. He makes music, mistakes, mixtapes and masks. All with love.

Welcome to my SoundCloud page.  It serves as a jar of sorts, to catch the musical ideas flying around in my head!  My hope is that you find something to listen to that offers encouragement and refreshes your soul.

All music is original with a few exceptions (such as new arrangements of old Christmas songs, etc.).  All music has been composed and performed with absolutely no AI-assistance.  I primarily perform and record on the Yamaha MODX8, with an occasional recording on my older Yamaha Clavinova.  You will also find collaborative works on my page, featuring some other amazing musicians on SoundCloud.

It is a joy to share my music with you, and I hope you enjoy listening!
