Beschreibung

It’s March 2020 and the sudden silence of spring that year changes the entire world and shifts perception.
The Düsseldorf-based composer Tom Blankenberg had just finished recording his second album. But the situation at hand had however made the recordings sound unfitting to the times …
“There was too much in it …” Blankenberg continues to write, rearranges and condenses the silent presence of these months down to an essence. Shortstories, utilizing a vocabulary from classical, jazz, avant-garde and ambient. They tell of a new day-to-day life, of rediscovered places and suddenly audible ambient sounds. They are about the first warm summer nights and the writing of a letter that has long wanted to be written. And also a little about sorrow. “It should hurt in some moments. But it’s a sweet pain, it’s bearable.” These ambivalent simultaneous emotions pervade the whole album. Melancholy and wellbeing, lightness and severity resound at the same moment. Ambiguity dissolves.
The results are 9 wonderful piano monologues that want to whisper something different into the ear of each listener and that become a sincere companion for the moment you listen. Blankenberg’s second album is called “et”.
