pockets of light

A "Wave of the day" which I recorded in July last year. Two runs thus two times two hands and some iTechnique.

Unter - Tristana - Ambre-Nils Frahm

Inititate is a unique track. Its very organic piano playing enables to forget any technical stand point in order to focus on the feelings it conveys. This track is an attempt to translate the feeling of willpower at the genesis of everything we create: an ode to the first impulse.

Instar

Initiate

A special release for Piano Day.

Initiated by Berlin based composer and performer Nils Frahm: today is Piano Day! 
Last year I saw this grand gesture for the instrument I love a few days after the fact and immediately put it in my calendar to honor it this year. 
This is a brand new video that Al (camera), Rutger (sound) and I put together especially for Piano Day:

Giddyhead - Close My Eyes (Original Recording)

Written by Raman Khalaf and Khaled Kurbeh between 2015 and 2017, Al Baseet from their debut record on Henrik Schwarz's new label BETWEEN BUTTONS depict their reflections on absurdism, solitude, the simple man, and despair. The pieces on the record blur the lines between written and improvised moments and articulate the past 2 years in a fictional narrative.

Aphorisms was recorded at UFO studios, The Vinary and Red Bull Studios, Berlin, with an ensemble: Tom Berkmann (double bass), Moussa Coulibaly (djembe), Ashraf Kateb (violin), Mathias Ruppnig (drums) and Nora Thiele (frame drum and raq). The artwork is an etching work by Yaser Safi. Further photography by F. Anthea Schaap is documented in the bilingual Arabic / English booklet. Designed by Rik Watkinson.

Wings II

‘The Birds’ are three tracks released together as the lead singles from the upcoming album, aptly named ‘Sketches’, due to its stripped down nature, is bejeweled by thematic undercurrents. 

‘Sketches’ serves to reintroduce listeners to Ackroyd’s most stunning pieces from her previous albums, all of which have been reworked into ‘acoustic’ solo piano arrangements alongside four brand new unheard pieces, which offer a taste of a new forthcoming record. The mini album sees a July release in preparation for a brand new full length album to be released in October, and One Little Indian will also reissue Ackroyd’s back catalogue on CD and vinyl alongside the new mini-album.

Feathers

Poppy Ackroyd turned heads in the neo-classical world with her previous works Escapement and Feathers, as well as her involvement in Hidden Orchestra (Tru Thoughts). Advocated by giants of the genre, Hauschka and Nils Frahm, the unique musician has returned, freshly signed to Bjork’s label One Little Indian Records, with a mini-album, Sketches, to be released on 4th August 2017.
