En décembre 2011, Chilly Gonzales déménagea son piano au studio Pigalle à Paris. Tout seul pendant 10 jours, il enregistra une sélection de ses compositions parmi une centaine de mélodies composées depuis les 8 années qui le séparent du mythique album Solo Piano.

Jour après jour, le processus d?enregistrement pur et minutieux prit lace. Chilly Gonzales enregistra ses morceaux, les uns après les autres, jusqu?à capturer l?essence-même de chacun.

Après des années passées à distraire son public avec sa personnalité ?larger than life?, à défier tous les artistes du monde, les obligeant à se surpasser pour atteindre l?excellence qu?ils doivent à leurs fans, Chilly Gonzales nous présente aujourd?hui son argument le plus persuasif : les 14 titres de Solo Piano II contenus dans ce recueil.

La route fut riche jusqu?à Solo Piano II pour ?le génie musical auto-proclamé?. Porté par une nomination Grammy et un record du monde Guinness Book du concert le plus long, Chilly Gonzales reprit enfin la scène après de nombreuses années passées derrière la console d?un studio à travailler pour les autres. Il devient LE pianiste sollicité par Drake, Feist, Daft Punk, ?et même Steve Jobs pour sa campagne mondiale pour IPAD 2.

A travers ses albums et tournées, Chilly fascine par sa polyvalence en tant qu?interprète et sa virtuosité en tant que pianiste. Rare est l?artiste qui fait danser son public sur les rythmes les plus branchés du moment, puis fait appel à un orchestre symphonique pour l?accompagner durant son concert de rap.

Avec Solo Piano II, Chilly Gonzales se distingue une fois de plus comme un authentique ?entertainer?, conscient que la plus belle marque de respect pour ses fans est avant tout de ?shut up and play the piano? (dixit Chilly Gonzales dans ?The Unspeakable Chilly Gonzales?, 2011). / [Chilly Gonzales : NoteBook Solo Piano II] / Partition / Agrafé /

Par GORDON ANDREW D.. The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D. Gordon was inspired by the Piano students he teaches at Shepherd University School of Music in Los Angeles and is dedicated to those students: Jungwon, Yumiko, Yoko, Eunice, Sooji, Hae Ji and Ok Kyu. As with many students that come from a classical background (including himself) it is a difficult transition to learn to play Blues & Jazz. When a musician improvises they usually play a variety of riffs or phrases that they have developed and learnt over a period of time and can access these phrases instantaneously whatever key they are playing in to create a seamless improvised solo from the phrases they have learnt. Andrew's idea for thisbook is to create phrases or riffs over two measures of various Blues progressions. He sub-divided each of the 12 Bar Blues progressions used in this book (the chord progression for Watermelon Man is a 16 measure progression) into six sections (two measures each) and within each of the six sections created four different phrases or riffs so that the student has a choice of four different phrases to play over every two measures. They can then create a solo based on which phrase they choose for each two measures. By breaking down these phrases to two measures each, he has found that the students have an easier time of learning to improvise than by trying to transcribe a whole solo from an audio recording or leaving them to their own devices in trying to play a solo based on the Blues scale or other related scales. Each of the ten examples are based on common Jazz/Blues chord progressions from Jazz songs such as 'Watermelon Man', 'Blue Monk', 'Tenor Madness', 'Route 66', 'Blue Trane', 'Bag's Groove' starting off with basic I-IV-V chords and increasing in complexity throughout the book. There are over 200 phrases/riffs to choose from that can be learned and applied to many types of jazz songs. The Bluesier Side of Jazz by Andrew D.

Solo Piano III complète la trilogie des albums Solo Piano. [Chilly Gonzales : NoteBook Solo Piano III] / Jazz / Partitions / Agrafe /

Description Featuring songs by the renowned composer and master of the prepared Piano Volker Bertelmann, AKA Hauschka, Solo Pieces is a wonderful compilation of some of his most beautifully engrossing and hypnotic compositions, as well as some fantastic illustrations and writings. A unique figure in the contemporary classical world, Hauschka's works defy categorisation while remaining uniquely effective. Known for his prepared Piano pieces, Hauschka writes that he considers the Piano a keyboard, string and percussion instrument, thereby opening its sonic possibilities to include diverse timbres, tones and textures. Some songs in Solo Pieces are for natural Piano, but others include instructions on how to prepare your own Piano, using everyday materials like foil, greaseproof paper, rubber wedges or erasers. The spirit of Solo Pieces is experimentation, something that Hauschka has always embraced. You don't need to prepare your Piano, or you could use different materials to create a unique performance of the work. Some of the pieces like One Wish feature wonderfully metallic buzzing sounds that complement the changing dynamics of the piece, while others like Early In The Park have unique tinkling percussive effects, adding completely new facets to the already evocative melodies. Far from being simply a collection of Hauschka sheet music, this book is a wonderfully inviting publication, featuring introductory words from Hauschka on his inspirations and processes, as well as notes on his favourite materials throughout. Also included are interesting pieces like short stories, letters and fantastic sketches that are fitting for a personality and artist like Hauschka. This book of Hauschka sheet music is ideal for fans of the inventive composer, but also pianists who looking for some new and unique music to play. Solo Pieces by Hauschka is both a collection of excellent Piano pieces and an aesthetically pleasing publication that celebrates great music.

Composers like Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds, Dustin O'Halloran and Jóhann Jóhannsson evolved from a similar school that favours building atmosphere with hypnotic arpeggiation in composition, explaining why these composers are often used to great effect in film soundtracks.Other inclusions in Twenty-Four Contemporary Pieces For Solo Piano are simply too important to have left out, namely Nico Muhly's Hudson Cycle, two pieces by Joby Talbot as well as Tarik O'Regan's Lines Of Desire.

Sometimes people even write to me assuming that the sheet music already exists, asking in regards to a particular song, 'Where can I find the sheet music?? My response to all these requests has been always been the same? 'Unfortunately the music is only written in my head and in my fingers, but I do hope that maybe one day I'll be able to write some of it out and publish a book of sheet music.? And finally, ten years later, that day is here! I am very proud to announce that Piano Works Vol. 1, my first book of piano sheet music, will be available in mid-June.
