Comment: there is a little bit to talk about this 12-track issue because the basins of these compositions are the same – it is made up of the chords of a worn piano being wrapped up by tight hiss. Emotionally it chimes like the listener has stepped into a time travel ship, or listening to an example of vintage piano music on vinyl. Secondly, it is fairly sympathetic to listen to those gently floating chords, which might seem almost like the swimming ones. Today is the last day of a year and it is a chilled-out experience to listen to this flickering and smouldering piano music of veering away between ambient and modern classical. Its slightly formal imperfection changes this short-running issue into a perfect appearance because of avoiding to be a hermetic and lifeless product. The issue is a part of the discography of the Conv. By kindred souls I recommend listen to such artists as Lubomyr Melnyk, Nils Frahm, Bosque de mi Mente, Oskar Hallbert and Hauschka, for example.
