  • French Composer  Mark J SOLER Shares New Instrumental “Lazy song” off his ‘Walks’ EP

    French Composer  Mark J SOLER Shares New Instrumental “Lazy song” off his ‘Walks’ EP

    French  Musician and composer Mark J SOLER  has released a new single ‘Lazy Song’, a three-minute instrumental piece inspired by relaxing moments, conducive to inner thoughts, and of course Music as the conductor toward a form of ‘spirituality’.

    “Lazy Song” was composed, played, and produced to sound like a slightly hypnotic jazz groove, deliberately laid back, like time stretching out over a solitary, quiet evening. The piano’s slightly off-sync phrasing aims to give a dreamy, drowsy sway, creating a psychedelic lounge atmosphere that’s both playful and disorienting. 

    “That was the intent in any case,” explains Mark. “With a simple melody to convey the introspective nature of such moment.

    “Lazy Song” is part of a short EP, Walks, gathering three different styles of instrumental songs, all inspired by the ‘inner life’ idea, i.e. reproducing the world in thoughts, through Introspection, Solitude, Meditation… on Desires, Regrets, Acceptance, Nostalgia.. there are many aspects of it, making spirituality, Music being its natural language.

    The second song in the EP is “Walking in the City”. 

    “Walking is known as one of the best remedies to evacuate dark thoughts and get back to a positive inner vision of the external world. I live near Paris. I walk a lot in the city that communicates its energy and beauty.”

    The third title is called “Inner Life”, about prayer.

  • Emmy Award Winner Dustin O’Halloran Shares Piano Solo Single “Red” off his Forthcoming EP ‘The Chromatic Sessions’

    Emmy Award Winner Dustin O’Halloran Shares Piano Solo Single “Red” off his Forthcoming EP ‘The Chromatic Sessions’

    Deutsche Grammophon artist and Emmy Award winner, Dustin O’Halloran has released a new single entitled “Red”

    An improvised piano piece recorded in a single take in his Reykjavík studio, it’s the second of three tracks that will form The Chromatic Sessions EP.

    “Red” is a partner piece to Gold — released in July — with a final chromatic track called “Blue” set to follow. 

    The theme of colours emerged organically during the process of writing and recording. “It wasn’t something pre-planned,” says Dustin, who has also been nominated for an Academy Award. “I was improvising on the piano every day, and I realised I was always thinking about colours as I wrote. When you have the mic set up and you’re recording, it puts you into deep focus. There’s something about that red light being on that really pulls you into the moment.”

    O’Halloran has long experienced synaesthesia — a mingling of the senses that may sound familiar to many. It can be something as simple as a taste snapping us back to a place we’ve been, a familiar scent triggering a powerful emotional flashback, or — in Dustin’s case — a certain sound evoking the feeling of a colour.

    “I believe that people are more synesthetic than they realise,” he says. “It’s something that you can tune into. All sensations are ultimately translated in the brain — and I think you can learn to connect different parts of those sensations together.”

    Such connections are a theme that runs through The Chromatic Sessions — including the connection between Dustin and his audience. All of the Chromatic singles come with downloadable sheet music when bought on Bandcamp, allowing listeners to play the music themselves. 

    It’s a gesture born of O’Halloran’s wish to forge a closer relationship with his listeners.

    “Releasing music digitally feels so distant and disconnected,” he says. “And I think we’re all looking for connection. When people get involved in playing the music, it becomes part of them in a different way. It becomes communal. It becomes theirs.”
