All the Playlists

Dismantle – Peter Sandberg

31 January 2017

Propellers.  I don’t know why, but it’s all I can think about with this piece.  Like an old biplane – or even a world war II fighter, like a spitfire or a hurricane.

Sleeping Lotus – Joep Beving

31 January 2017

This track could have been written two hundred years ago and yet – it sounds wonderfully modern and unique.

Call – Julianna Barwick

31 January 2017

It’s the tone of the piano that grabs me here – big and dark and and faintly foreboding – kinda like the steel tube you’re sitting in.

At Last – Martin Landh

31 January 2017

I love this – it feels like the start of a new day – full of hope – full of build – full of light and love and support and just – damn – it’s everything you want in a beautifully uplifting piece of music.

Comptine d’un autre été – Yann Tiersen

31 January 2017

Yann Tiersen is one of my favorite pianist / composers – what he did with the score of Amelie was amazing – one instrument – a myriad of emotions – sheer genius.

Getting Back Together – music2work2

31 January 2017

As an artist you never know what tracks are going to resonate with the public – of sure, you can be part of a Nashville songwriting team and construct a track for an audience but even, you’ve no real idea whether it’ll “fly” or not.

Throes – Half Moon Run

31 January 2017

So you want a cascading piano to paint every bit of sadness in your soul?  Yet you also want it to have an element of hope? 

Memories – music2work2

31 January 2017

Originally written for the music to grieve to playlist – it’s kinda disturbing that it should arrive on this playlist too!

;-p

Rotation – Luke Howard

31 January 2017

I love it when you think you know a track only to have your expectations exceeded as the composer take you in a completely unexpected direction.

To Move – Alex Kozobolis & Anna Rose Carter

31 January 2017

A collaboration between two people, two pianists which produces an effortlessly light, floaty, safe space.

What May Come – Sweet Anomaly & Dugong

31 January 2017

I really love this remix of Dugong’s “What May Come” because Öona Dahl really transformed the original song into something completely different. Bringing it straight to the dance floor she enhances it with dream like soundscapes but still brings enough punch to keep it super friendly for dancing.  She stays true to herself as an artist while still respecting the original version. It’s a truly perfect remix and you can tell a lot of passion and heart went into it.

Safe Landing 1 – music2work2

31 January 2017

This track was the original inspiration for the entire playlist.  Actually the original idea had been kicked around a few years back and I had worked up a theme at the time but when i came back to it it didn’t really resonate.
