Josep-Maria Balanyà

A solo piano journey through spontaneity, intimacy and the unexpected. On Undress & Fly, pianist and improviser Josep-Maria Balanyà invites the listener into a world where sound takes shape in the moment. Across nine solo pieces, he moves fluidly between agile, energetic playing and passages of striking delicacy, letting intuition guide the music toward unexpected destinations.

Balanyà treats the piano as both instrument and terrain for discovery. In “Relaxed Discussion” and “Jump And Fly Away,” ideas gather momentum and take flight; elsewhere, the music turns inward, allowing space and silence to become part of the conversation. A playful sense of irony surfaces alongside lyricism, subtle shifts of mood and a keen attention to touch and nuance.

Recorded at Salinas Studio in Eivissa, Undress & Fly captures Balanyà’s distinctive approach: music that feels spontaneous yet unfolds with its own inner logic. The album presents the piano not as a vehicle for fixed answers, but as an open space for curiosity, reflection and emotional freedom.
