Isolation Playlist #10 - Piano Music To Stretch Space And Time
All the days are blurring into one now and I realised I'd forgotten to get a playlist off anyone, so this one comes from in-house. Long form piano pieces to stretch space and time...
Jandek - The Song Of Morgan
Nine part epic of minimal piano play from Jandek, usually known for his lo-fi guitar twang but here switching it up for a meditation on the ivory keys. The entire piece clocks in at just shy of 9 hours, although it doesn't really go anywhere, totally unresolved, moving between more than a few dud notes to moments of beautiful simplicity.
Colette Roper - Piano Pieces
Tear jerkingly beautiful lo-fi piano pieces from Colette Roper. A total one off and seemingly impossible to obtain being on Swiss Artist Dieter Roth's private label. First heard on the pianola Tabi Tape mix and regularly revisiting..
Giusto Pio – Motore Immobile
Ageless Italian minimalism. Okay, there's more than JUST piano in there but its in regardless..
Lubomyr Melnyk – Lubomyr Melnyk Performs KMH
Torrential downpour of piano notes from the Ukrainian continuous mode master
Rachel Bonch-Bruevich - 13
Beautiful loner piano pieces from the Soviet Union
La Monte Young - Well Tuned Piano
Five hours of just intonation bliss. The ultimate. Highly recommend Jeremy Grimshaw's 'Draw A Straight Line And Follow It' book for deeper intel into this masterpiece..
Satie - Vexations
Can't have a piano list without Satie in. This one his notorious, life-altering composition that can allegedly drive the performer to insanity if completed in its 18 hour plus entirety.
Emahoy Tsegue Maryam Guebrou - Ethiopiques 21
Much-loved and praised piano works from the Ethiopian nun.
Charlemagne Palestine - Strumming Music
Maximalist minimalism harnessing the power of repetition.
Hugh Small - Piano Music Volume One
Really amazing collection of timeless pieces from one half of overlooked Scottish ethereal post-punk group Vazz.
Dominique Lawalrée - Aux Alentours
Incredible solo piano works from the late Belgian composer Dominique Lawalrée.
