Experimental prepared-piano instrumentals, (almost) all acoustic. Pretty and highly varied. Multi-layered. Second LP from Düsseldorf based composer/performer Volker Bertelmann. Play with Klimperei, Na, Toychestra, Philip Glass. FCC clean. Start with 2, 3, 8.
1. Whimsical, wide interval theme. Multi-layered. Interesting acoustic percussion.
==> 2. Up-tempo, driving rhythm. Nice interplay of voices.
==> 3. Slow, sparse. Delicious mix of textures.
4. Slow, hypnotic, and dreamy. Some synth.
5. Mid-tempo, cinematic finale feel.
6. Mid-tempo. Playful arpeggio. Gets busier and busier.
7. Mid-tempo. Gentle but percussive chords. Nice buzzy sounds.
==> 8. Bouncy and light. Lots of staccato plucking of piano strings. Some jazzy bass and drum.
9. Slow, quiet, and sparse.
10. Mid-tempo. Quirky, pentatonic rhythm. Moving chords. Nice buzzy sounds again.
11. Mid-slow, with melancholy (minor) chords paired with silly tap-dance-like percussion.
12. Mid-slow. Late-night denouement/lullaby
