Neo Classical pianist (& former tech developer behind Shazam), Charlie Hooper-Williams has been continuously touring the 6 months.

Taking his live piano & bespoke interactive projection project featuring generative animation from festivals to stand alone arts centre gigs, Charlie dropped a series of mellow and contemplative piano pieces culminating in his EP earlier this year to which this is the follow up.

Beautiful, mood-driven, solo piano that subtly pushes emotion and melody to the fore. Album out now: https://idol-io.ffm.to/thebookoffixedstars
