Piano Diary – Henning Schmiedt

Pair this album with your next Sunday morning coffee…immerse yourself even deeper by picking up a paintbrush or pen. Let the melodies guide your creativity as the day unfolds…

Born from the artist’s daily piano sessions during covid isolation, these compositions evoke memories of a time marked by uncertainty, yet filled with an enduring sense of hope and connection.

Henning has masterfully captured these beautiful, fleeting moments in time with this work.

Memory Collage – Constantine Markopoulos

Is the sense of wonder a universal experience when we gaze up at the heavens on a clear night? Millennia-old light reaches our eyes, born when distant ancestors walked this earth.

I believe that all who acknowledge our place in the cosmos share a dream of galactic exploration. Some find solace and establish order by anchoring themselves in a localized reality, while others weave stories and origin myths, seeking to explain and transcend the mysteries that await above.

For a close-knit collective of friends, choosing to convene beneath cosmic conditions in remote places of ritual across the globe, the journey to the celestial realm is paved with sound.

“Memory Collage” serves as your sonic launchpad to infinite other worlds.

These are the conversations overheard among travelers at the Space Forest Cafe.

日本に居た男 | Man in Japan – Constantine Markopoulos

“Concept Album” A sonic storyboard that transports the listener to an otherwise unreachable place which follows an established theme or motif.

This is the most succinct way I can describe my intention with the “日本に居た男 | Man in Japan” record.

Over a seventeen day solo expedition around the captivating landscapes of Japan I captured both the sounds and vision for the album.

Armed with my childhood curiosity, keen eye and ear for detail, notebook, and field recorder…I found inspiration in the people, places, and rich culture I encountered.

In an attempt to take the audience through my auditory memory, the album’s sequence of recordings and locations follows the chronological order of my trip.

I am proud to present this representation of a powerful moment in time and hope it inspires others to follow their own path.

Gravity – Ben Lukas Boysen

Although the title of Boysen’s first solo album suggests a Newtonian law of physics representing the omnipresent pull towards a greater mass…I can’t help but feel weightless once gravity connects the needle to this record. After discovering this was a digitally programmed piano I was hearing, I continue to marvel modern technology and how it can be tamed by the creative human to synthesize sonic bliss.
