Kurr is the first full length record from the icelandic band amiina. Released in 2007.

“In the way that the Cowboy Junkies' classic album The Trinity Session arrived in the
midst of all the pre-grunge noise and clatter at the death of the 1980s, it almost feels
as if there's something quietly revolutionary about this gently overwhelming record.
Either way, a revelation.”
David Peschek, The Guardian

“Utterly original and deceptively relaxing, Kurr is the fullest-sounding minimalist
electro pop you’ve ever heard.”
Chris Whibbs, Exclaim!

“Kurr is a gently rippling stream of enigmatic moods and textures.”
Paul Sullivan, bbc.co.uk

“Whatever the permutations, Amiina's fragile magic can't fail to beguile.”
David Sheppard, BBC Collective

Pianist Itoko Toma will release a solo piano album.
In the summer of 2023, the album was recorded at the studio library “SALO” located in Oiso, Kanagawa, Japan.  A collection of piano works composed by her fingers, guided by the tone of an upright piano meticulously tuned by a piano tuner.

This collection of composed piano pieces were inspired by the works of Shin Kikuchi, Schole Records art director, exhibited at SALO during the recording period.  It has an image concept of one walking along the path in the deep mountain surrounded by fog and imagining an invisible landscape as one surrenders to the silence.
The sound of the piano were made even softer by the felt work, which helps to expand a tranquil soundscape, as if flower petals or fresh white snow gently falling.
Please enjoy listening as an accompaniment to a relaxing moment, as if lighting a lamp or enjoying a fragrance.

Released under the iiP moniker, ‘SEN’ is the latest work by sound designer Setsuya KUROTAKI - a three-part composition shaped by field recordings, live instrumentation, and finely calibrated programming.

Constructed as a musical self-dialogue involving his alter-egos "Sebastian Kline" and "Nicolie Binara", the work examines the fluidity of sound materials and the emergence of emotion through the conceptual frames of “Sequence,” “Environment,” and “Neutral.”

Balancing restraint and organic layering, it can be read as a subtle disturbance of the boundary between interiority and environment.

Calling Tomorrow

Taken from their forthcoming mini-album 'Ellis' out July 8 on Erased Tapes.

For the first half of the twentieth century, Ellis Island stood as the gateway to America. For some twelve million people, it was their first encounter with the land they hoped to call home.

Directed by acclaimed artist JR, ELLIS tells the story of one such migrant. Starring Robert De Niro, the film winds its way through the crumbling hallways of the abandoned Ellis Island hospital complex, now home to JR’s Unframed art installation. It’s a place that reverberates with the hopes and fears of those who passed through it, the echoes especially resonant today.

Entwined with the narrative is a score composed by Woodkid, performed and co-written by Nils Frahm. The delicate piano motifs of Winter Morning I culminate in a crescendo of strings, while the harmonium swells on the B-side are the foundation for De Niro’s narration: an encomium for those who shaped modern America.

There’s perhaps never been a more fitting time for this story, with all the proceeds going to the Sea Watch initiative, a non-profit charity dedicated to the protection and rescue of civilian refugees.

Following a screening as part of Nils’s Barbican Weekender, the ELLIS score will be out July 8th, the same week as America’s great federal holiday. It will be available via Erased Tapes as a mini album on CD, vinyl and in digital format containing a 12-page picture booklet.

IN THE ARTISTS’ OWN WORDS:

Nils Frahm: ‘The opportunity to work on JR´s fantastic short film ELLIS came through my good friend Yoann aka Woodkid. We agreed on recording the piano parts in my studio in Berlin and so it happened that JR and Woodkid were guests at Durton studio on a wonderful late summer day in 2015. We managed to record all the crucial elements that day. The music fell in our laps and melted with the images: a wonderful experience. The film has stuck in my head ever since; it moved my heart and changed my soul.

A couple of weeks later I had to cancel a trip to Brussels because of a terror warning; all events got cancelled and I stayed home, having an unexpected day off. I felt rather depressed that day, thinking that the Europe I knew was already gone. I sat down at the harmonium, listened to Robert De Niro’s voice and played for the rest of the day. The result is ‘Winter Morning II,’ the B-side of the ELLIS soundtrack release.

Robert says it all in 17 minutes. We are not facing a refugee crisis. We are facing a crisis because we do not embrace, we do not sympathise and we cannot give up fear. Art can encourage so I hope this project will help fight the fear in all of us.’

Yoann Lemoine, aka Woodkid: ‘Ellis is my second collaboration with JR after the New York City Ballet piece for Les Bosquets. I initially wanted this piece to sound like it was recorded on an old piano that we found in the ruins of Ellis Island, in the restricted area that is not open to the public, where JR pasted the pictures on the walls for the film Ellis.

I had worked with Nils before and I wanted him to create a sound for this piano part that I composed that was extremely gentle and organic. I wanted the listener to hear the mechanisms, the breathing of the instrument. I wanted it to be imperfect, to sound like a ruin, a trace, an echo, the way the pastings on the walls seem to be ghosts, almost imperceptible.

After a few rehearsals, Nils stripped down my piano parts and we removed almost all orchestration around the piano. He then worked on the extended version that is his interpretation of my piece, with Robert de Niro’s vocals.

Because this film and this recording is historically meaningful, it was important for us to create this piece as an echo to the immigration situation in Europe, and decided to release it in support of Sea Watch.’

Things That End

Hello everyone, I would like to show you my new album "Pereehali". This is my third album, it was written and recorded in the summer of 2012. After a long writer's block that was caused by a very pretentious and bombastic second album I decided to make a really intimate, solo-piano work. I lived in the countryside during the recording sessions, and every recording was done by me tête-à-tête with my lovely piano in the wooden house. It was a priceless experience working and writing while having a close contact with nature, it helped me a lot to understand the music I compose, to make it more organic, touching and moving.
