Kopf Kino Kantaten

The “Kopf Kino Kantaten” (cantatas of the cinema in your head) consist of 24 piano pieces lasting from one minute to one and a half minutes. In the tradition of salon music, these pieces navigate between classical and jazz.

They marry the known with the unknown and play with the full range and sonority of the piano. With highly varied rhythms, colourful sounds and melodies, the “Kopf Kino Kantaten” are meant to take listeners on a journey. They will make them experience imaginary scenes, entirely in music, expressing moments of solitude, waiting, rest and pause.

The “Kopf Kino Kantaten” owe their origin to intense work by Tobias Von Glenck on the history of the piano. Connotations, allusions or resemblances to other piano music are neither really sought nor explicitly avoided by the composer: the “Kopf Kino Kantaten” are there to bring the history of the piano back to life.

This edition includes a selection of 7 works.

Les "Kopf Kino Kantaten" ont été enregistrés sur Compact Disc et Vinyle chez Metaracords (meta059 & meta 060). Le coffret Compact Disc est double, puisqu’il propose 2 versions des enregistrements : la première est une exécution des œuvres sur un piano à queue de concert, la seconde, sur un vieux piano droit.
