Prehension

Joep Beving

Felt-dampened piano recorded so closely you can hear the wooden hammers move. A quiet, restorative collection of minimalist pieces for deep solitude.

April 7, 2017 · Deutsche Grammophon

A restorative, hushed intimacy that feels like a private sanctuary from the modern world.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the opening notes of Ab Ovo emerge from silence with a soft, percussive thud of the piano keys.
The hypnotic, clock-like repetition in Hanging D that creates a trance-like state through subtle harmonic shifts.
The audible breath and mechanical creaks during A Heartfelt Silence that make the piano feel like a living organism.
