In einigen Tagen erscheint das neue Album des an Jazz, Elektronik und klassischer Musik geschulten Pianisten und Komponisten Roman Rofalski. Die sieben Stücke basieren auf dem Einsatz eines Flügels und dessen Kombination mit dunkler, spannungsvoller und auf verquere Weise tanzbarer Elektronik. “On Fractal, Roman Rofalski takes the harmonically rich & resonant sounds of a classical grand piano and slams them hard into a dark, urgent, and uneasily digital place”, heißt es beim Label. “Like a detective novel that suggests tense and unusual
situations, Fractal takes a Schimmel K280 grand piano with its totally refined sound and synthesises sporadic piano clusters with deep electronic and rhythmic energy. The product of brief but intense studio recordings, Rofalski took his prepared piano tracks away and, in his own words “tore the sounds apart”, editing and engineering his beautiful piano flourishes with the aid of multiple plug-ins, loops, cuts and re-samples”. Eines der Stücke enthält Drums von Felix Shlarmann. “Fractal” erscheint am 19. Januar digital bei Oscillations.
