What is Handmade?The secret of the childhood is that, as a moment in your life should be the frame. It means to be always in the background, contextualising the rest of your existence, like the stars are the prelude of the sky.
This is all about the album "Handmade", the minimalism, piano shimmering like an impressionist painting -a Monet- serves well to ease the juxtaposition of funny stories and moments: the rain, the park, the morning bells, Madame Curie, the ride of the Dalai Lama... Throughout the recording the piano takes turns in being part of the backdrop, picking out rhythms like raindrops, or playing long sustained melodies. Definitely, more than a concert: |
