A couple of years ago, I secluded myself with an old vintage C. Bechstein grand piano in a small hall, aiming to record some works by Philip Glass. After several attempts, I realized that it wasnt my day. However, with time still on my side, I decided to play and record Yann Tiersens album Kerber, for which I had just received the sheet music. To be honest, this attempt felt unsuccessful. I wasn’t satisfied with my playing, the piano, or the choice and placement of microphones. In general, nothing seemed right.
I tried editing and mixing the recording without much success, so I ultimately decided to delete the project. After deleting it, I forgot about it. Just a few days ago, while cleaning my hard drive, I stumbled upon backup video and audio files. Intrigued, I listened to the preserved recording and decided to breathe new life into this version of Tiersens Kerber.
From the press release:
Named after a chapel in a small village on the island of Ushant, Kerber marks a new chapter in Tiersen’s career. A chapter still true to Tiersen’s nuanced and subtle approach but one that sets out with his most overtly electronic material to date. Beautifully textured, highly immersive, and thoughtfully constructed, Tiersen creates an electronic world, providing an environment in which the piano source exists.
A sense of place has often been a central theme in Tiersen’s work and here that is no different. Each track is tied to a place mapping out the immediate landscape that surrounds Tiersen’s home, linking back to his thoughts on the possibilities of the infinite smallness.
“I think there is a similarity between the infinite big and the infinite smallness of everything,” says Yann Tiersen. “Its the same experiment looking through a microscope as it is a telescope.”
*Yann Tiersen (born 23 June 1970) is a French Breton musician and composer.] His musical career is split between studio recordings, music collaborations, and film soundtracks songwriting. His music incorporates a large variety of classical and contemporary instruments, primarily the electric guitar, the piano, synthesisers, and the violin, but he also includes instruments such as the melodica, xylophone, toy piano, harpsichord, piano accordion, and even a typewriter.
Tiersen is often mistaken for a soundtrack composer; as he is quoted about himself: Im not a composer and I really dont have a classical background, but his real focus is on touring and recording studio albums, which are often used for film soundtracks. Tracks taken from his first three studio albums were used for the soundtrack of the 2001 French film Amélie.

Jóhann Jóhannsson - Ruslpóstur (from Dís) [reworked]
“Ruslpóstur” is a piece from the original soundtrack of Dís, composed by Jóhann Jóhannsson (1969 - 2018), the visionary Icelandic composer celebrated for blending classical orchestration with electronic and experimental textures.
Written for the film directed by Silja Hauksdóttir, the Dís score moves away from traditional orchestral writing, instead embracing studio-crafted sounds and an intimate, atmospheric palette. This project marked an early chapter in Jóhannsson’s film career - years before his internationally acclaimed scores for The Theory of Everything, Sicario, and Arrival.
My interpretation remains faithful to the original structure of the piece while introducing subtle ambient noise textures and additional string lines - offering a personal perspective on its quiet intensity and fragile beauty.
*Silja Hauksdóttir (born 12 January 1976) is an Icelandic writer and film director. After studying philosophy at the University of Iceland, she pursued screenwriting, directing, and cinematography at FAMU in Prague and Binger Filmlab in Amsterdam. She co-wrote the novel Dís with Birna Anna Björnsdóttir and Oddný Sturludóttir and later directed the 2004 feature film Dís, which was nominated for the Nordic Council Film Prize.

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.

Two Lanes - Luminous [Reworked]
Ok, no PDFs for this one (suggested by @ProbablyNoothing — thanks!), so I played it by ear - not precisely - as I didn’t bother tweaking the exact delay settings from the original. Instead, I created my own version using the same chord sequence.
According to ChatGPT, Luminous is a piano composition by TWO LANES, a German electronic music duo consisting of brothers Leo and Rafa Schmid. Released on January 30, 2024, the track is part of their album Duality (Piano Versions), which blends electronic and classical elements beautifully. The piece has been well-received, with listeners praising its serene and emotive qualities. A fan on SoundCloud even described it as “Lovely,” capturing its soothing nature.
