Details:
Pianist Nicola Cipani is one of Long Song''s most acclaimed discoveries. His debut “THE ILL TEMPERED PIANO” was saluted as "achingly gorgeous, unusual and wonderful" (Signal to Noise), "endlessly clever and playful" (Downtown Music Gallery), earning praise for the "impressive range of techniques" (The Wire) and "unbounded imagination" (All About Jazz), along with an honorable mention for best release of 2008 (All About Jazz New York).
Cipani''s second solo CD “KLAVIERMASSAGEN” no longer resorts to broken instruments — the piano is now healthy and tuned — but the result is still surprisingly uncharacteristic. These piano-string ''massages'' unearth layers of new sounds, producing a thrilling landscape of drones, overtones, sympathetic resonances. Cipani manages to organize such magmatic potential into meaningful textures and music evolves as propelled by a reflection on sound itself.
(Nicola Cipani was born in Lausanne in 1965, grew up in Milan, studied classical philology in Berlin, and moved to the United States in 1998. He now lives in Brooklyn and teaches at New York University. He has been playing piano for over thirty years)
