  • British Composer Bistrot of art Releases New Single “Gravity” Which he Created After Getting Lost on a Birthday Trip to Oman

    British Composer Bistrot of art Releases New Single “Gravity” Which he Created After Getting Lost on a Birthday Trip to Oman

    British artist Bistrot of Art has shared his new single, “Gravity, or the starry night above Oman” from his 2018 EP Three Lost Drafts

    The composer had never previously published the drafts which were written in 2018 on Sibelius and piano and lost to a broken hard drive.

    The inspiration for the single was born from a trip to the stunning Alila Jabal Akhdar resort in Oman, a birthday gift to the artist from their girlfriend. 

    One evening, as the sun began to set over the dramatic landscape, the couple found themselves lost in a dried riverbed, with darkness falling fast. 

    With only the light from their phones to guide them, they navigated their way back towards the hotel under a vast and brilliant canopy of stars, a humbling and unforgettable experience that became the creative seed for the new track.

    “Gravity, or the starry night above Oman”masterfully captures this scene. The music is both intimate and expansive, reflecting the feeling of being a small part of an immense and beautiful universe.

    “We were starting to get worried about 6pm as the sun was getting lower and lower in the sky , but before we knew it we were out in the pitch dark making our way back to the hotel to the lights on our phones, it was terrifying and beautiful all at once,” says Alex. “There’s a unique feeling that comes with being truly lost, but then you look up and see this cosmic map laid out above you. All we could hear was the crunch of our feet on the gravel and our own breathing”.

    About Bistro of art: 

    Alex is British Neoclassical composer who composes under the name Bistrot of art, inspired by travels in the Middle East, Scandi and his time studying French art history. 

    Born in 1989, he  started playing piano at age 16 and wrote his first compositions shortly afterwards. He had a creative spell while living in Dubai for work, and released several pieces influenced by the Arabian starlit night sky. He takes breaks from composing, sometimes for years at a time, to draw deep inspiration and focus on other things but he always comes back refreshed with something new. 

    After a long break from composing he came back to another creative spell while on holiday in Nice where he finished writing drafts of several EPs.

    “Music has a deep calming effect on me, medicinal even. I often keep working and reworking original ideas into different pieces that reflect my current mood. I would like to create more for piano and it’s my desire to write in a neoclassical style.”
