Italian pianist and composer Niel Lian has released his debut EP Resilience in a World of Fire which explores themes of fragility, distance, and belonging.
The EP consists entirely of solo piano pieces, each one tracing a step in a journey. From healing, to confronting fears, to moments of reaction and recognition.
The title track best defines its essence: a meditation on fragility, endurance, and the quiet forms of strength that hold us together when everything seems to be burning around us.
Niel Lian’s music brings together elements of classical tradition and contemporary minimalism, drawing inspiration from Chopin, Philip Glass, Wim Mertens, Max Richter, Nils Frahm, and the psychologically aware approach of Peter Gabriel.
The Resilience in a World on Fire EP by Niel Lian is out now on all platforms.
