2012年夏天,除了录制当时的最新专辑《Now》,我也开始创作一些钢琴的独奏作品。
我邀请一些Facebook上的朋友,问他们关于“忧郁”的印象,他们的反馈非常丰富,有字句,有图画,有思考。不久之后,我坐在钢琴前创作了“If melancholy were music”这首作品,录制完成后将它放在SoundCloud上免费分享。从那时开始,我开始陆续创作一首又一首钢琴作品。
结果出乎意料,这些作品的点击率达到 250,000次,下载数达到5000次。
于是我将它们搜集起来,加上一首之前未发行的作品"Wind song",就有了这张专辑。(by Fabrizio Paterlini)
In Summer 2012, beside working on my latest "Now" album, I've also started writing some piano solo pieces, just to keep in mind from where I came from.
I remember I asked to my friends on Facebook which was their image for the word "Melancholy" and I had such a great feedback with sentences, images, thoughts... Immediately after, I sat on my piano and I composed "If melancholy were music", I recorded it and immediately released it on SoundCloud for free. From that month on, I decided to release some piano free song, whenever I had the inspiration to do them. All for free (and they still are for free!).
The result was that after one year (more or less), those songs have been played more than 250,000 times and have been downloaded 5,000 times.
I then decided to give them a sense by releasing the entire collection in this album plus a previously unreleased track ("Wind song").
The title of the album wants to be my highest tribute to the instrument I love the most, my beloved grand piano.
Also, differently from the previous release, I wanted to add a precious and very limited white vinyl edition to add even more warmth to piano sound.
Enjoy and share!
