Utsav Lal - Visangati Utsav Lal - Visangati Utsav Lal - Visangati Released: February 3, 202 Recorded by Robin Buyer at Pulse Music NYC in October 2020. Piano : Utsav Lal Tanpura : Arman Ali Dehlvi Tabla : Nitin Mitta Young Steinway Artist, creative pianist Utsav Lal has set a precedent with his innovative handling of Indian Classical music. “Visangati as a word reflects an integral poly-semantic and ambiguous quality. It mostly translates as an “anomaly” but sometimes also hinting at absurdity or illogicality. When attempting to play Indian Classical Music on the piano, it is impossible to not acknowledge the contradictions at play in this endeavour. My goal is to embrace and revel in these discrepancies while trying to get as close as possible to eliminating them.

Dizzying constellations of notes netted within the soundboard of the harpsichord, quill-plucked and sent spinning in darting arcs and ascending steps. . . Harmonic fog adrift from which notes slip out in silvery streaks, gleaming with passion, while some, disconsolate, fall into dark silence snuffing out their glow... All compositions by Mark Wingfield except Pasquali’s Dream and Prélude Sinueux. Pasquali’s Dream was taken from a figured bass example (1763), realised by Jane Chapman. Prélude Sinueux - inspired by an anonymous prélude non mesuré (1716) arranged by Jane Chapman and Mark Wingfield.

GrandBrothers - All The Unknown

GrandBrothers - All The Unknown GrandBrothers - All The Unknown GrandBrothers - All The Unknown Released: January 15 2021 On the leafy cover for their third album, All The Unknown, Grandbrothers invite the spectator to peer through the thick foliage of a hawthorn bush, seemingly powered by a similar sense of curiosity that informed their exploratory new record. Ditching the restrictions of their former setup, with their new record the Turkish-German / Swiss duo took a leap into the dense unknown—and landed on their feet. The album maps out a wide-open soundworld of compositional possibilities for pianist Erol Sarp and producer / electronic engineer Lukas Vogel, who have been putting their modern and unique electronic spin on prepared piano since first forming in 2012.
