[extended] Bliss, the new version of RIOPY's latest album, augmented with three unreleased tracks, including Human Compassion, which is already a huge success. After becoming number 1 in the United States last January with his album Tree of Light, pianist RIOPY offers a new, intense, and luminous facet with [extended] Bliss. "Bliss is that state of consciousness where fear does not exist; that state where only happiness and joy remain. To record this album, I wanted to put myself in this state, physically and mentally. A decade where I had to go through a lot of pain was necessary to finally find a way, a method that works for me. For the recording of this album, silence, nature, beauty, peace helped me to change my state of consciousness, far from everyday reality." RIOPY
