The Piano Particles project by pianist Steffen Wick and his artistic partner Simon Detel combines classical and contemporary musical elements. This songbook features 20 selections of the last album of the project as well as some new songs, arranged for solo Piano.Influenced by pop, electro and film music, all of the compositions combine these elements to create a modern musical language that's interesting and highly enjoyable to play. Compared to the opulent live performances which combine electronics, vocals, strings, light and video installations, these solo Piano songs reveal the purity of the original compositions. / Piano

Szymanski was born in Warsaw on 28th March 1954. He graduated with honours from the National Higher School of Music in Warsaw where he studied composition with Wlodzimierz Kotonski (1974-78) and Tadeusz Baird (1978). In the meantime in 1976 he took part in the INTERNATIONAL SUMMER ACADEMY OF ANCIENT MUSIC at Innsbruck and in 1978 1980 and 1982 participated in the INTERNATIONAL SUMMER COURSES OF NEW MUSIC at Darmstadt working also with the Experimental Studio of the Polish Radio in 1979-81 the Independent Studio of Electroacoustic Music in 1982-84 and the Electronic Music Studio of the Cracow Academy of Music in 1983. As a Herder scholar Szymanski continued hisstudies with Roman Haubenstock-Ramati in Vienna in 1984-85 and as a holder of the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst grant in 1987-89 worked at the Electronic Studio of the Technische Universitaet.The Two Studies for solo piano written in 1992 peck and impact in slow progression - again sounding both familiar in the style of Bach yet dissected in an unhurried and surprisingly avant-garde exhibition. The second study moves to slough off the first at about 6.03. The second glitters in Mozartian gemwork.

Par FAINI DARIO. Dario Faini is an Italian pianist composer producer and musician. He adopted the pseudonym Dardust with the goal of creating music that combines neoclassical and electronic sounds. The chosen name is an homage to David Bowie?s ?Ziggy Stardust? character and a tribute to the Dust Brothers duo that became famous as ?The Chemical Brothers?. Duality is Dardust?s fifth album due out Oct. 28 which contains 10 piano pieces and 10 electronic music tracks. This is the matching folio that includes piano transcriptions and 4 or 8 bars of each electronic song. / Date parution : 2022-12-12/ Recueil / Piano

Piano Solo-For any electronic keyboard or acoustic piano. A fantasy trip for second year piano students! Each song title-for example The Unicorn Faeries Medusa March of the Gnomes The Sorcerer-comes complete with ancient-looking pen-and-ink drawing of the character in the title a descriptive caption and suggested musical settings to make the mood spooky and authentic.

Par ARCHER DEVAN. This book presents extended solo piano settings of eight Christmas favorites plus a new take on ?Brahms? Lullaby,? all with a touch of country keyboard technique. Each intermediate to advanced arrangement is replete with anticipatory grace notes, a bit of western swing harmony and rhythm in the classic country style popularized by Floyd Cramer. Author/arranger Devan Archer has added his own brand of challenging counterpoint. The ?Nashville Sound? has long been a presence in gospel, pop and rock music but appears here in a Christmas repertoire, perhaps for the first time. ?Good King Wenceslas? and ?God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen? have never swung so hard! Includes access to online electronic audio recording. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Recueil / Piano

Par ARNALDS OLAFUR. Ólafur Arnalds is one of the best-known Icelandic musicians and composers. His compositions move between indie, neo-classical and electronic music. His work, both as a musician and as a film composer, has been critically acclaimed worldwide, earning him a BAFTA award for Best Original Score as well as Grammy and Emmy nominations. Over the course of his career, he has released five albums as well as dozens of EPs, collaborations, and various projects. Ólafur\'s live shows are often quite unorthodox for a neo-classical composer and have sold out many of the world\'s most prestigious live venues. His last album, some kind of peace (2020), earned him two Grammy nominations and reached the UK Top 40. The songbook \'some kind of peace - for piano\' contains new arrangements of the 10 songs from Ólafur\'s album of the same name as well as lavish artwork and liner notes. The pieces are arranged for solo piano, the transcriptions are by Ólafur Arnalds. / Date parution : 2022-07-23/ Recueil / Piano

for piano. Par LARCHER THOMAS. Smart Dust' devices are tiny wireless microelectromechanical sensors (MEMS) which are able to sense everything from light to vibrations. Thanks to new developments in silicon processing, these 'motes' are no larger than a sand grain even though they are provided with sensors, circuits, wireless communications and a power supply. They collect enormous amounts of data, perform calculations and are able to exchange such information even over distances of 300 metres. Today, one is developing commercial application possibilities, such as for the search for manufacturing defects or for the care of patients, but of course this 'Smart Dust', this barely visible intelligent dust, is particularly suited to spy on people and detect movements of the enemy in the case of war. Perhaps, one day, we will get rid of a potential observer when rubbing a sand grain from our eyes. They are tiny cells which are able to communicate with each other, build up a network among themselves, observe the environment and, above all, they can be blown through open windows into rooms without being noticed. The music too is about similar tiny cells, about strange sounds of a sound-reduced piano, 'simple circuits', i.e. basic information which are retransmitted, musical motifs from the everyday urban environment which then have to be aligned with each other and processed in a control centre, in the head of the listener. Omnipresent, dangerous elements. The motor energy (the power from the battery) decreases in the course of the little pieces, the flow of information slows down. The piano is deprepared during its course, the elements become more readable and audible. A broad stylistic expanse is traversed in a very brief space, as if a 'smart dust transmitter' lands on the turban of a muezzin and the next one a hundred metres farther in a discothèque. Or even better: one transmitter in a Lachenmann score, the next one in the beard of Arvo Pärt. - Thomas Larcher/ Répertoire / Piano
