Sub Piano is a bonus track from Infra - a studio album by neo-classical composer Max Richter, released on July 19, 2010, on FatCat Records. The album was reissued on April 25, 2014, on Deutsche Grammophon.
The concept for the Infra (Latin for ‘below’) is a comment on contemporary political issues with roots in the literary canon. Infra was written as a reaction to the 2005 ‘7/7’ subway bombings in London and was inspired by T.S. Eliot’s modernist poem, The Waste Land. It was originally composed for the highly acclaimed eponymous Royal Opera House ballet production, choreographed by Wayne McGregor and premiering in 2008. The piece reveals an emotive journey across oscillating individual and societal landscapes.

Philip Glass - Opening [Reworked]
Here is my new interpretation of Opening by Philip Glass.
Rather than recording another straightforward piano performance, I wanted to explore the piece from a different perspective.
What youre hearing is a vintage C. Bechstein Model C grand piano, layered with multiple cello parts performed by my cello buddy, together with textures created using a Yamaha PSR-6 routed through a MOOD pedal by Chase Bliss. The result is less a cover than a reimagining - something that sits somewhere between contemporary classical, ambient, and cinematic music.
🎼 About the music
Opening is the first piece from Philip Glasss landmark 1982 album Glassworks.
Originally conceived as an introduction to the album, it has since become one of Glasss most recognizable piano works. Built from repeating arpeggiated figures and gradually shifting harmonies, the piece perfectly embodies the hypnotic musical language that helped define minimalism.
Glassworks itself occupies a special place in Glasss catalogue. Written not only for concert audiences but also for listeners discovering his music for the first time, the album became one of the defining recordings of contemporary classical music and remains a gateway into Glasss distinctive sound world.
🎧 About the composer
Philip Glass (born 1937) is one of the most influential composers of the last half-century. Together with Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young, he helped shape the minimalist movement, though his music has long since transcended that label.
Alongside his concert works, Glass has composed acclaimed operas and film scores, including Koyaanisqatsi, Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters, The Hours, and Candyman. His influence extends far beyond classical music, inspiring generations of composers working across ambient, electronic, film, and contemporary instrumental music.
