Two short pieces built from piano recordings made by Orphax at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord during summer 2017. The 7-inch marks a deliberate break with his usual drone vocabulary, foregrounding more openly melodic ambient writing and treating the piano as the primary voice rather than as raw material. One of his most personal works to date, dealing in textural terms with closure, regret and the slow effort of moving on.
Piano Music is a release with two short tracks which are based on piano recordings Orphax made at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord in Mid and End of Summer 2017. On this release musically Orpax breaks with his other work by using more melodic ambient sounds and focus less on the drone. It is one of his most personal works to date. The music on this 7" is about closure and trying to leave things behind, how difficult this might sometimes be. It is about making the wrong decisions and regretting those, but also learning to cope with these and to move on.
