Hanakiv is an Estonian-born, London-based sound artist and pianist. Her debut single, ‘No Words Left’, is a contemplative and ethereal journey written in collaboration with Alabaster DePlume.

Echoes of Kara-Lis Coverdale, Hania Rani and Arvo Pärt leave the listener in a contemplative and meditative state.

Released: September 20, 2022

“Over time David and Arve managed to create a specific sound language of their own, which is beautifully reflected in this recording. It goes way beyond just the music, and could be very well described as sound painting, sound sculpting or perhaps sound dancing, with its cross-media concept, that it creates, at least in my perception.

Hania Rani - Kyiv

Released: March 28, 2022

Hania explains:
I have never been to Kyiv but from now on I have it in my heart.
On the 24th of February Russia invaded the free country Ukraine, which shares a border with my home country Poland.
For the first time, I felt that war is really happening close to everything that I know. An unfair, unreasonable war against innocent people - women, children, elderly people.
Against any reason. As it is usually with any wars.

Released: February 4, 2022
Label: Modern Recordings

Learning a skill can happen imperceptibly – or the whole thing can be a total living nightmare. Whether you feel the pain of the development or not, though, it is there, and German neo-classical composer Sven Helbig is so fascinated by the building blocks of how the human brain acquires new abilities that he has composed ten new pieces on just that subject, each representing what he believes to be one of the pivotal stages of the process.

Released: January 28, 2022

»Neon City« is the debut release by Erik K Skodvin & Otto A Totland's Deaf Center project, finally re-issued 18 years since its first appearance.
Listening to »Neon City« in 2022 is like taking a melancholy journey down rainy city streets of the early naughts, made by the then two young Norwegians in their mid 20s after spending time together in a basement full of vintage items.

Слушать «Неоновый город» в 2022 году — это все равно, что совершить меланхоличное путешествие по дождливым городским улицам ранних нулевых, сделанное тогдашними двумя молодыми норвежцами в возрасте около 20 лет после того, как они провели время вместе в подвале, полном винтажных вещей.
