Solipsism

Stripped-back piano pieces recorded with felt-dampened hammers. A quiet, mechanical intimacy that feels like someone playing just for you in the next room.

April 28, 2015 · Deutsche Grammophon

A gentle, restorative embrace of solitude that finds beauty in the smallest mechanical details.

Moments Worth Listening For

The rhythmic, clock-like mechanical clicking of the piano keys in 'Midwayer' that provides a percussive heartbeat to the melody.

The way 'Sleeping Lotus' feels like it's holding its breath, with spaces between notes that last just a second longer than expected.

The gradual, hypnotic layering of the simple three-note motif in 'Zoetrope' that creates a sense of gentle, circular motion.
