Hermetism

Felt-dampened piano pieces recorded with extreme intimacy. A quiet, philosophical retreat into minimalism where every mechanical click of the instrument is heard.

April 8, 2022 · Deutsche Grammophon

A profound, hushed stillness that feels both ancient and deeply personal.

Moments Worth Listening For

The hypnotic, repetitive trills in Dervish that stretch for nearly nine minutes, creating a trance-like state.

The way the mechanical creak of the piano stool becomes a rhythmic element in the opening of La fee verte.

The final, long-decaying chord of Roses that hangs in the air for what feels like an eternity.
