Un playlist dedicado al piano. La mayoria de las canciones le coquetean al drone, al minimalismo, a la melancolia y al constante ulular.
La ejecucion de las piezas es lenta. Esto siempre me ha parecido favorable al escuchar piano, inclusive tengo la mania de bajarle el pitch en mi estereo a los discos de Janacek, Debussy y Satie de mi padre para que las canciones se escuchen aletargadas. La razon a esta mania es que en general yo soy de reacciones lentas y asi creo se puede exagerar y apreciar mejor el peso de las teclas, la respuesta de los pedales y como el sonido se desplaza dentro de la sala donde se encuentra ubicado el instrumento.
Brian Eno & Daniel Lanois - always returning
(Apollo: atmospheres & Soundtracks, 1983)
Akira Rabelis - Gymnopedie 1
(Eisotrophobia, 2001)
Goldmund - door of our home
(Corduroy Road, 2005)
Max Richter - written in the sky
(The blue notebooks, 2004)
Fridge - cutup piano and xylophone
(happiness, 2001)
Infinite Scale - In Motion
(Sound Sensor ep, 2005)
Music is the space between the notes. - Claude Debussy

It was just a secret gathering of the power elite.
- Jam Nation
Out of me unworthy and unknown
The vibrations of deathless music;
“With malice toward none, with charity for all.”
Out of me the forgiveness of millions toward millions,
And the beneficent face of a nation
Shining with justice and truth.
I am Anne Rutledge who sleep beneath these weeds,
Beloved in life of Abraham Lincoln,
Wedded to him, not through union,
But through separation.
Bloom forever, O Republic,
From the dust of my bosom!
-Edgar Lee Masters , Anne Rutledge

The motel celebrates a year of making people twitch, glance, smile, cry and hopefully of helping them discover & uncover new or old records. Thank you, readers for all the love and for holding on and thank you all of the staff for so many things I can’t name.
And here’s an mp3:
