Emotional Piano, Vol. 2 Album

Ten tracks: nine piano pieces and one guitar-led outlier. Only two of the ten have a measurable tempo, and both land on exactly the same figure — a hundred and eight — while the other eight are in free time with no pulse at all. Seven are in a major key, two in a minor, and the grunge cut has no detectable key whatsoever. The album's most useful feature is a matched pair: the lonely piano in E major and its minor-key second take are the same sparse writing twice over, one gentle and one bereaved, sequenced back to back so an edit can move between them without a change of voice. Around that pair the record covers a wide emotional range on one instrument — a rising major line that never resolves, a melancholy piece that is the only thing here that builds and releases rather than holding still, a genuinely cheerful cut with a light rhythm under it, a lullaby with almost no dynamic incident at all, and a closing solo recorded at the lowest overall level on the album. The two extremes sit in the same key: the opening piece has the widest dynamic range here and the closer the narrowest, both in A# major.
