Ludovico Einaudi | In A Time Lapse (recenze) & 3x koncert v The Royal Albert Hall (live)

May 18, 4:27am Miluji hudbu

První tóny desky In A Time Lapse rozezní snové potemnělé intro Corale , jakoby se pomalu klubalo z právě se rodící mlhy. Navozuje atmosféru klidu a vyzívá posluchače k zastavení, meditaci, rozjímání, jen s pomocí tlumeného zvuku čela a dvou viol, které se plynule po dvou minutách vpijí do minimalistického piana a kalimby ústřední skladby Time Lapse . Sekunduje jim občasná akustická kytara a v pozadí tiká nenápadná elektronika. Hypnoticky laděná krásná melodie vás ještě více uvolní a ujistí, že nemáte důvot nikam spěchat, ale jen poslouchat tuto [...]

Regina Spektor na Pražském hradě v srpnu! | Vstupenky právě v prodeji!

May 15, 7:01am Miluji hudbu

Koncert americké písničkářky Reginy Spektor , která vystoupí 13. srpna pod širým nebem na Terase Jízdárny Pražského hradu , bude její druhá návštěva a první samostatný koncert u nás. Poprvé u nás vystoupila před dvěma lety v rámci festivalu Colours of Ostrava . Její živelný projev za piánem, kterým se převážně doprovází, stejně tak jako její přitažlivá ekvilibristika s hlasem, je pověstná, a už z nahrávek je patrná hravost, emoce a energie s jakou zpívá. Na jejím koncertě jsem ještě nebyl, ale určitě na živo to bude ještě o mnoho intenzivnější [...]

Où étions-nous Lubomyr ?

May 9, 9:27am La Blogotheque

Où étions-nous ? Où étions-nous quand Lubomyr Melnyk était virtuose et phénomène, bien avant aujourd’hui ? Pour quelles raisons absurdes ne sommes-nous pas nés quelques années plus tôt, pour pouvoir le connaître avant ? Pour quelles raisons encore plus absurdes n’avons-nous pas entendu ce nom, ce piano, cette musique auparavant ? Où étions-nous, où cherchions-nous ces émotions, ces vagues, cet entêtement splendide à répéter presque invariablement ces enchaînements de notes, ces perspectives immuables, décrites par des notes lentes et [...]

Review: Adopt a copy of Deco Child

May 7, 2:31pm Loughborough Echo - Sound Advice

SKINLESS, the new EP from electronic artist Deco Child, is so haunting it cannot fail to raise goosebumps. The closest touchstones to the work of Deco Child, real name Alex Lloyd, are labelmates like Jono McCleery or Fink, but, and this is no offence to the aforementioned, to compare them is not to do Deco Child justice here. His transcendant ethereal vocals disarm the listener. And this vocal is sparingly used atop the most affecting, spectral piano-led music, which is carefully augmented with sweeping, grand, minimal electronica, which at times sits back, and other times overpowers.

Lubomyr Melnyk — Corollaries

Apr 27, 10:12am Musik Mig Blidt

Lubomyr Melnyk har brugt ca. 40 år af sit liv på at mestre kunsten at spille på et klaver. Han har med andre ord viet sit liv til klaveret. Han elsker klaverer, omtaler dem som levende væsener og sammenligner de gamle og bedste eksemplarer lavet mellem 1880–1930 med produktionen af originale samuraisværd — én af menneskehedens ypperste bedrifter. Denne kærlighed og respekt for klaveret kan høres tydeligt i Lubomyr Melnyks måde at håndtere et klaver på. Han har udviklet en teknik, han kalder Continous Music , som han er den eneste i verden der mestrer. Denne teknik består af [...]

Listen Before You Die: Keith Jarrett – The Köln Concert (Live)

Apr 25, 6:59pm Music That Isn't Bad.

A must if you enjoy exceptional piano. This recording is some 30+ years old, which is early in Keith Jarrett's career. Although, it is after Jarrett decided the digital world wasn't for him. After a short gig with Miles Davis on the electric keyboard, Jarrett swore he'd never play anything that had a plug.  Rumor has it that this piano at Köln was damaged and that Jarrett was ill, but you’d never know it by listening. Jazz aficionados will tell you this is not jazz, which I guess means that it does not have syncopated [...]

Low, The Invisible Way

Update: I have been trying to post this for weeks. The uploaded mp3 just would not play and it was all very discouraging. Trying again. :) The new album from Low is absolutely gorgeous. Piano driven, melancholy melodies that wrap around my soul. Amethyst is by far my favorite song from this 10th studio release. Slow, methodical and ever so pretty. You hide, you always hide So deep inside the amethyst mine [...]

5 Incredible Piano Covers

Apr 21, 9:13pm Sunset in the Rearview

1.  Ferro Montanino from Winnipeg, Canada proves that is possible for one man to entirely remake Skrillex's Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites on a piano. Though there are few moments when I enjoy Skrillex, this song of his is one of them, and Ferro makes it arguable even more enjoyable on the ivory keys. 2. The Internet has been abuzz over Disclosure's song "Latch" recently. And rightfully so. But we need to take a minute and direct our attention to this piano cover of the same song by a [...]

[Song of the Day] Molly Drake – “I Remember”

Apr 21, 9:28am Dead Horse March

Molly Drake "I Remember" The self-titled album from Molly Drake is definitely one of the more unique releases this year and probably one of the more random posts I've done (I'm going to try and do more in the future). "I Remember," "Happiness" and all the other songs off the album were recorded back in the 19502s and 602s and released just this year. Molly Drake is probably best known as the mother to the English singer-songwriter Nick Drake [...]
