If you wanted any further proof that music can preserve the things history so often reduces to dates, statistics and headlines, you find it in Rose Wollman and her powerful new work “Alabanza”. Written by Mexican composer Francisco Cortés-Álvarez, with Maria Brea on soprano and Dror Baitel on piano, it takes Martín Espada’s Alabanza: In Praise of Local 100 and transforms it into something both deeply human and musically compelling, a piece about ordinary lives caught within extraordinary history.
Where the Music Flows – Raffaele Scoccia’s New Release “La Rivière des Choses”
It is one thing to sit with a piece of music and let it wash over you; it is another to feel as though you are being quietly let in on its origin, its intention, the emotional current that carried it into being. That is where the real magic happens. Which is why “La Rivière des Choses” from Raffaele Scoccia holds such a gentle but persistent pull. The sense that this is not just a collection of compositions, but a reflection in motion.
The title itself – translated as “The River of Things” – offers a clue. There is an inherent transience at play here, a suggestion that these pieces are less about fixed ideas and more about passing moments, shifting thoughts, the quiet drift of memory and meaning. Scoccia doesn’t so much present melodies as he allows them to surface, to move, to dissolve and reform, much like the river he evokes.
Improvisational Pianist Mario Mattia Releases “Origin” – A Return to First Principles
There is something quietly definitive about “Origin”, the latest release from improvisational pianist Mario Mattia. As the title suggests, the piece gestures towards a point of departure, although the music itself resists any fixed sense of starting or ending. This work is less like a beginning and more like a return to first principles.
“Origin” consists of a single, uninterrupted improvisation lasting just over twenty-four minutes, making it the longest work Mattia has released to date. Recorded in his rural woodland studio with close microphone placement and a meticulously voiced piano, the performance captures every detail of the instrument’s character – from warm, resonant consonance to the more fragile edges of upper-partial dissonance.
Raffaele Scoccia Captures the Sound of Stillness in New Release “Silent Mountains”
“Silent Mountains” is a newly released solo piano single by Italian composer and pianist Raffaele Scoccia. Inspired by a winter day spent high in the Dolomites, the piece reflects a period of introspection and renewed creative clarity for the artist.
Known for his wide ranging work across genres (including projects under his Moon Rocket alias), Scoccia returns here to the piano as his primary voice, offering a deeply personal and expressive composition rooted in stillness, nature and balance.
