Piano Piano follows on from the project started with the two titles published in 1987 and 1989 by Venture/Virgin, and presents twelve tracks predominantly for solo piano, composed and performed by Roedelius.
In this work, Roedelius returned to the discographic scene, and does so with the same stylistic coherence which has been a characteristic of his continuing work from 1968 to the present; from the time that is, when he formed a part of the scene at the Zodiac Free Art Centre in Berlin, along with the most important German electronic music groups like Tangerine Dream and Ashra Temple. In the following years, his activity continued together with Dieter Moebius, under the name of Cluster and with this he made, in 1977, two memorable albums along with Brian Eno.
After his move to Austria in 1979, he began his solo career, dedicating his musical research chiefly to the piano.
Piano Piano confirms his stature as a composer and as one of the leaders of "Ambient Music". His style, dry, with strong classical inspiration passes over melodic lines that are both fascinating and endowed with an extraordinary immediacy.
The production is by Roedelius himself.
The cover presents four original paintings, created especially for this work, by the Spanish artist Idelfonso Aguilar.
