{"product_id":"anthony-romaniuk-on-modes_aec-allp1202-2","title":"Anthony Romaniuk - On Modes","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor his third solo album for Alpha, keyboard polyglot Anthony Romaniuk returns to the piano, exploring the seven modes: derived from the major scale, the basis of ancient Greek music but nowadays endemic in folk, jazz, and beyond, each one containing a world of character and mood.Starting with John Adams' Phrygian Gates, Romaniuk devised a programme comprising music by Pärt, Ligeti, Radiohead, and Björk, with his own original compositions; arrangements of traditional Catalan and English\/Scottish music; and improvisations. Continuing his search for a personal and original sound, Romaniuk uses two pianos, including a Klavins upright grand piano (from the collection of Nils Frahm) which, thanks to it's massive soundboard and four-metre-long bass strings, overwhelms the listener. The addition of various analogue and digital audio effects, together with innovative recording techniques, brings the listener into a unique sonic landscape, approaching that of a sound installation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"New \/ CD \/ On Modes Alpha","offer_id":48980767113524,"sku":"ALLP1202.2","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0790\/7436\/1652\/files\/4484230-3505380.jpg?v=1776009761","url":"https:\/\/www.fye.com\/products\/anthony-romaniuk-on-modes_aec-allp1202-2","provider":"FYE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
