Escarpement
Denovali

Classically trained on piano and violin, Poppy fell in love with contemporary piano and sounds made beyond the keys. Delicate, intricate, beautifully atmospheric music made from manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from piano and violin. Awyeh approved. RIYL Hauschka, Nihls Frahm

*1. (4:32) Intricate soft piano, soft strings, strumming the piano strings
**2. (5:11) Aptly titled Rain, gentle shower, long romantic bowed strings, dreamy piano. Quiet rain intro and outro
3. (3:46) Overlapping percussive and melodic elements, rich
4. (4:54) Beat and melody emerge out of quick piano flutters, strong buildup then gets quiet and flutters are really subtle for a minute back to overall melody
*5. (4:06) Thuthud percussion, elegant piano loops, long low sustained bow
6. (4:45) Slow, longing violin, piano starts soft loops, soft percussion
7. (4:15) Lonely elegant piano, soft percussive beat starts up, e-bowing piano strings, gets melodramatic
