Leila Milki – Fall Asleep
(Spotify)

“The composition titled -Fall Asleep- has a unique feature; it opens the door to parallel worlds, where a heart beats in the rhythm of classical music and the inimitable voice of -Leila Milki- make us feel like Alice in Wonderland.”

“Композиция -Fall Asleep- обладает уникальным свойством, - она открывает двери в параллельные миры, где фонтаном в грудь бьёт классическая музыка, а неподражаемый голос -Leila Milki- даёт почувствовать себя Алисой в Стране Чудес.”

This song plays out like an orchestral dreamscape, a hazy lullaby. I created it as an extension of Women's History Month (with a team of women), as a daughter of Lebanese immigrants navigating my independence in a new world. It showcases my vocal + classical-piano performance, along with an unfurling string quartet. It's meditative, romantic, and mysterious, with dark-meets-light + Arab-fusion influences.

"Fall Asleep" explores the vulnerable push-and-pull of asserting our femininity and confronting danger for the first time, when we've been taught to stay silent + keep the peace. Through this cinematic ballad, my hope is to champion visibility for fellow first-generation daughters of immigrants whose dual-identity limbo often intensifies our experience of early adulthood.

Innocenzo Genna – The Evolution of Things (Spotify)

Innocenzo Genna – The Evolution of Things
(Spotify)

“-The Evolution of Things-, a piano highlight in the world of neoclassicism. Absolutely harmonic and melodic minimalism. The sincere, kind-hearted tale of -Innocenzo Genna-.”

“-The Evolution of Things- фортепианная изюминка в мире неоклассицизма. Откровенный минимализм, гармоника и мелодичность. Искренняя, душевная история от -Innocenzo Genna-.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words about this song with our magazine:

"This music was composed long time ago, in 2013. The inspiration started during a snowing night in Belgium, while returning from a very good jazz concert in Leuven (Bollani and others). I was inspired by some notes I heard during a performance and I kept them in my mind. During the night I started to compose and then it took some months to complete the entire piece. In the meanwhile, while trying to finalize the music, I was impressed by the news coming from Istanbul, namely because of the people protesting against the destruction of the Gezi Park, with the following brutal repression by the State security. The entire event let me think about how things evolve in life, and how everything is unpredictable at the end. "

https://www.instagram.com/innocenzo.genna

Innocenzo Genna, called also Inno, has always lived music in multiple dimensions: as a musician, firstly performer and entertainer, and then composer, but also as a technology scholar. His interest in music is not only artistic and emotional, but also professional, because for years Inno has been working in the Internet and technology sector as a lawyer and policy expert, so as to be involved in the major political debates concerning music and technology: from P2P to online piracy, from online platforms to the liberalization of collecting societies, up to the recent European copyright reform.

Such an intense professional activity enriched Inno’s musical vocation, while adapting his classical practice with modern and pop piano, blues and jazz, so as arranging the various genres into a personal compositional style. The many trips in Italy and abroad have contributed to creating the context of images, memories and fantasies from which his compositions are born.

In 2007 Inno settled in Brussels where it found new creative inspiration through the contact with the dynamism and the international ésprit of both capital city and European institutions, the creative Belgian surrealism, and also because of the rainy and melancholy climate of the place. In 2016 he completed his first collection of piano compositions "Brussels Stories", while a second CD is scheduled to be released in 2020.

The piano compositions of Innocenzo Genna fall within the categories of minimalism and modern classic, with frequent combinations into blues and jazz. He is similarly conservative as a composer, for his music drawing heavily on harmonic and melodic practices found in 18th and 19th-century European compositions. His repertoire is freely accessible through his website and social networks such as Youtube and Soundcloud, while being available also on streaming platforms such as Spotify and Deezer.

Magnetic Vines – Quiet Old Shipwreck
(Spotify)

“Lo-fi acoustic sounds, echoing guitar strings with piano keys and a little trombone... all in thick ambient & drone layers of mist. In the output we have the lovely song -Quiet Old Shipwreck- by the magicians and sorcerers of the business -Magnetic Vines-.”

“Акустические звуки lo-fi, эхо гитарных струн и пиано, немного тромбона, всё это в густых слоях тумана из ambient & drone и на выходе мы имеем очаровательный трек -Quiet Old Shipwreck- от магов и чародеев своего дела -Magnetic Vines-.”

-Nagamag.com

Layers of piano, acoustic guitar, and subtle synthesizers paint a serene portrait of an old shipwreck-- a meditation on loss and making peace with the past.

Kepa Lehtinen – Face plant
(Video)

“Incredibly beautiful, virtuosic and enigmatic work. -Face Plant- can be easily compared with an unsolved puzzle that leaves some shade of mysticism. Fascinating piano and striking sound vibration theremin.”

“Невероятно красивое, виртуозное и загадочное произведение. -Face Plant- во время прослушивания можно легко сравнить с нерешённой головоломкой, которая оставляет лёгкий оттенок мистики. Завораживающая игра пиано и поразительное звуковое колебание терменвокса.”

-Nagamag.com

Kepa Lehtinen Face plant

A new musical excursion from Kepa Lehtinen …Face plant is six track mini album of original contemporary classical music written for piano, contrabass, and theremin. . The theremin is an century-old electronic instrument that’s played by hand gestures rather than direct contact.

Nobody uses theremin like i do. It is not a solo instrument anymore. Because theremin responds to even the slightest movement (even to the players breath) it has become the organic sonic cornerstone of my music. It is the element that makes the soundscape really come to life ”

Face plant “I am 50 years old skateboarder. I have always loved the expression ”Face plant” (an instance of falling face first into or on to something.) If you skate on the limits of your skills you are going to fall at some point. It is going to hurt.”

Kontula Kontula (2018) is my most beloved composition. (740 000 streams on Spotify) ”Kontula ” is new solo remake of the piano version of the theme.

Fall ”The mix of classical and retro electronic music makes ideas escape easily and appreciate the changing season. Beautiful, very, very beautiful.” Mika Roth/desibeli.net

Nowhere ”Kepa gives an original instrument a new voice and expression in a center stage manner that merges electronic with a future indie classic. ” Ryan Martin/Jammerzine

Lockdown…Arpeggios on a broken piano – the sound of a pandemic.

It is ok to be a computer… Chiptune version of my track ”It is ok to be sad and dark” The last track on all my solo records is the Commodore 64 version of some previous song. The Spotify algorithm will punishes me – lol.

Kepa Lehtinen has written music for many films, commercials, and TV productions. He plays the piano, synthesizers, theremin.He released his first solo album, Playing Theremin, in 2018.

Gustav Hoyer, Peter Pejtsik, The Budapest Film Orchestra – Terra, the Bringer of Life
(Spotify)

“-Terra, the Bringer of Life- is an excellent opportunity to plunge into the world of classical music in its true demonstration. The vast and varied compositional heritage of the XVIII century, where you can listen the orchestral concert performed by the virtuosos -Gustav Hoyer-, -Peter Pejtsik- and -The Budapest Film Orchestra-.”

“-Terra, the Bringer of Life- это отличная возможность окунуться в мир классической музыки в её истинном проявлении. Огромное и разнообразное композиторское наследие XVIII века, в котором вы сможете услышать виртуозный оркестровый концерт в исполнении -Gustav Hoyer-, -Peter Pejtsik- и -The Budapest Film Orchestra-.”

-Nagamag.com

Standing at 7 minutes and 40 seconds, "Terra, The Bringer of Life" implements fervent violins and chimes to invoke the feeling of natural beauty on earth and the cycle of life, and mimic the musical elements of mother nature such as; flowing water, sprouting seeds, and flying birds. We are then given a quick glimpse of earth from the heavens with a beautiful melodic harp and flute section about one minute into the piece, which complements the overarching tone seamlessly.

The piece, though classical, is modern and relevant, which is not surprising given Gustav Hoyer's reputation as a prolific composer who is dedicated to giving "people a chance to experience this great art form in untraditional ways". He does this in multiple ways, and has recently been focusing on creating a virtual reality software that would allow a listener to not only watch a visualizer, but experience and immerse themselves into the music like never before. Though the VR platform isn't ready yet, you can still immerse yourself in the musical richness that is classical music through the new episodes of Gustav's podcast "Anachromism", were he focuses on slowing down and actively listening to music to get the best experience possible.

Roman Wróblewski – Into Shadow
(Video)

“Sometimes, we capture the flow of sudden and uncontrollable emotions. Time stands still, and the ground slipping under our feet. The new composition of -Roman Wróblewski – Into Shadow- evokes such emotions. Emotional, soulful waltz lone piano.”

“Порой, нас захватывает поток внезапных и неконтролируемых эмоций. Время останавливается, и земля уходит из-под ног. Новая композиция -Roman Wróblewski – Into Shadow- пробуждает именно такие эмоции. Эмоциональный, душевный вальс одинокого пиано.”

2555 empty bottles and a dark image symbolizing the alcoholic’s disease – the new music video by Roman Wróblewski.

https://www.instagram.com/roman_the_pianist

The second video promoting Roman Wróblewski’s debut album is a brutal record of the history of
progressive addiction, in which the main focus is on the tragedy and nature of this disease.
Unlike his other two music videos, this time Wróblewski plays the protagonist himself, abandoning
the collaboration with experienced dancers. Thanks to this move, the image gains authenticity and
the natural movements of the main character give it a personal touch. In the choreography created
by Roman Wróblewski, the three key moments are the silent screams of the addict, inaudible to the
viewer and at the same time incomprehensible for the alcoholic himself. These screams are filled
with anger, fear and madness. Moreover, in the awe-inspiring image we find symbols of decline,
suffering and the struggle that the unconscious addict has with his illness.
The video complements the song “Into Shadow” – a sad and catchy melody dominates the whole
composition and is highlighted by a beautiful accompaniment and a looped motif building tension.
The cinematic character of the music on Roman Wróblewski’s new album finds a special place in
this video, adding a dark tone and emphasizing the tragedy of the main character.
The video is a very intimate statement from Roman. To shoot it, exactly 2555 bottles of alcohol
were used, which is the number of days corresponding to 7 years of active addiction of the author
of the video. The progressive change of the main character and the increasing number of bottles in
the video highlights the evolution of the disease until the climactic scene where the video focuses
on the social nature of addiction and the isolation resulting from the disease’s progression.

Woulds – Cure
(Spotify)

“-Cure- can be called a model of cinematic ambient and drone. A thick, white mist like atmosphere, a strong, complex melody within the genre. Light touch of despair and wandering alone.”

“-Cure- можно смело назвать образцом кинематографического ambient и drone. Густая, словно белые слои тумана атмосфера, сильная, комплексная мелодия в рамках жанра. Лёгкий налёт отчаяния и блуждающего одиночества.”
