Dan Nicholls - Mattering And Meaning

Vinyl LP pressing. 2021 release from London-based keyboardist/producer Dan Nicholls. His music uses acoustic piano as it's key element, transporting the instrument into new territories that sound remarkably natural and organic, whilst displaying a strong kinship with the world of abstract electronic music. The music utilises piano loops and field recordings as it's key elements, forming what might be described on the surface as a fascinating ambient jazz record - but at the same time there's so much more at play here on deeper levels. Dan's music sounds at once otherworldly and immensely inviting.
