Riopy - extended (BLISS) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Drottningholm Baroque Ensemble - Musical Treasures of Leufsta Bruk 2 [COMPACT DISCS] date 06/28/2011

2021 . A collection of 11 titles unveiled one by one every month, each a jewel of pure emotion, will allow Riopy to enter into an uninterrupted conversation with the fans of his music. His inspiration has been guided by his will to pay tribute to the anonymous but true heroes of Inchnormal lifeInch. Although he has rejected tricks of over-produced music, preferring the sheer power and shine of an amazing Fazioli piano, he manages to create incredibly cinematic music, built chapter by chapter, character by character, growing into a piano tale - a piano tale that, for the listener, will become an unforgettable experience of Bliss.

Riopy TITLE Riopy InchThis album has been my catharsis since the music started coming to me almost ten years ago. It's the world seen through my eyes, or rather, through my piano. It's evolved into a patchwork of emotions, experiences, beliefs - music that put an end to struggle. From On a cloud to Old soul, the pieces here came to life and brought hope when I thought nothing could save me. They each have their place in my development; they became my language. For me, a single chord can evoke a symphony of emotions. With solo piano, everything is exposed and we have to catch what passes through our fingers, which starts as raw emotion and translates as music in it's purest form. I feel that sharing these emotions through music helps us to reconnect; these aren't fingers double tapping to like or swiping away - these are fingers pulsing across the keys of a piano. The world changes and the music will always be tuned with the world; perhaps that is why I never seem to play a piece exactly the same way I did the last time. My insecurities and weaknesses find their way into my music, but also the landscapes and the people that inspire me. I hope the music on this album can reach the soul of listeners the very same way I feel it when I playInch- Riopy
