Thomas Barth in an interview about the music on "Beyond Black and White":

"I would love to introduce the category "Contemporary Renaissance"- as to me it stands for the holistic and ageless quality in music. Also the metaphysical aspect of the record, its connection to numerology and its messages, which are very personal and global at the same time.

It is also Classical piano music, written and performed by one player here and now. Like in the good old times. And it is Jazz at the same time. Many have limited associations with all these terms so I steer away from that because then you are dealing with other people''s limitations and prejudices more than with the message itself- which we miss to hear when we only focus on our own noise in our heads. Re-membering this "open awareness" is a constant exercise for one''s development.

Among the 21 pieces there are different examples for different categories. All together, they form a unity, a statement. The listeners explore themselves by listening to the music. The more they resonate to this, find their individual truths in it, the more they will appreciate the music.

The element of "space" is important in the music. you will hear a lot of space between the notes and between the titles. When mastering, we spent hours of focused work on the spaces between the tracks. We found that the coherent use of spaces does link the titles and add a new dimension to the perception.

The sound you hear on this album is created by the interaction of the Concert Grand with 30 pianos that were in the same room. We recorded all the fine vibrations by using special microphone setups. What you hear on the CD is free from studio reverbs and effects. We remained true to the full dynamic range of the performance of the compositions. While recording, we went for the "whole" takes. No overdubs, no punch- ins. It was like painting a picture "the ZEN way"- what came out is music for a higher vibration which connects with the souls of the listeners.

Resonances:

We hope that you enjoyed the experience as we all did on that beautiful evening. I will never forget it. Looking forward to more musical deliverance. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. "
Kenn Moutenot, musical director, Deodato
