VARIOUS ARTISTS - Piano Cloud Series - Volume One (CD)

Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick, Library Tapes, Fabrizio Paterlini, Akira Kosemura et al... No one should be too surprised to see a collection of acoustic piano pieces being issued by 1631 Recordings. After all, one of the label's co-founders is David Wenngren (Kning Disk label overseer Mattias Nilsson the other), who's been making memorable music under the Library Tapes alias for more than a decade, much of it piano-based. Wenngren contributes a fine Library Tapes piece ("Running by the Roads, Running by the Fields") to the compilation, as do an impressive number of kindred spirits, Nils Frahm, Peter Broderick, Hior Chronik, and Schole main man Akira Kosemura among them.
