{"product_id":"on-modes-3701624512029","title":"On Modes","description":"For 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.","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46191251587155,"sku":"2776689X","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0732\/1937\/5187\/files\/4484230_bcce489e-9322-4324-864d-67ba8a6edaef.jpg?v=1788904344","url":"https:\/\/www.deepdiscount.com\/products\/on-modes-3701624512029","provider":"Deep Discount","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
