{"product_id":"christian-wallumrod_speaksome_2023_dif","title":"Speaksome","description":"Pianist and composer Christian Wallumrod is releasing a follow-up to his 2015 album Pianokammer. The album is a deep dive into Wallumrod's interpretation of solo piano, a sophisticated and singular electronic environment. Text by Ivar Grydeland (Norwegian guitarist and composer): As long as I can remember, Christian Wallumrod's piano touch has always moved me. His singular and surprising melodic turns, yet so obvious. His well-placed embellishments. He manages to create completely unique universes, whether with his own ensemble or alone. In recent years, he has also returned to electronics, which he treats with a kind of gentle brutality. For me, Christian Wallumrod's music has a historical quality, and something futuristic at the same time. When I listen to 'Speaksome', I feel transported both to the past and to the future. I don't know where I am, or when I am. 'Speaksome' is subtle and playful, the measures full of power. Perhaps because they are few but rich in nuances. The music on the album weaves an intimate soundscape. We remain \"here\" without \"beyond\" being far away. As on \"Treeline\" and \"Zitternpappel\". What he shows us is episodic and deliberately unresolved. A part of me travels to Berlin, Laurel Canyon, Mississippi, Hallingdal, Leipzig, and Vienna. But above all, I am here, near his piano stool in the Hovseter district of Oslo. Or he is here. In my living room. Either way, I hear the strings breathe, the electronics like a breeze.","brand":"Christian Wallumrød","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55306992222552,"sku":null,"price":23976182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0898\/4943\/0360\/files\/7033661036500_e6094a43-e0ef-4ef3-83e4-eb1c92f73733.jpg?v=1760314509","url":"https:\/\/vinyles.com\/en-us\/products\/christian-wallumrod_speaksome_2023_dif","provider":"Vinyles.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
