Collected Piano Pieces

Opis:

Simeon Walker’s contemplative music for solo piano has been called “wonderful” (BBC 6 Music) and “resplendent” (the Big Issue). Collected here for the first time are the scores for eight of his most popular pieces including favourites from his notable releases 'Mono' and 'Preface': 'Turn', 'Drift', 'Hush', 'Coda', 'January', 'Compline', 'Absolution' and 'Shelter'. Carefully edited for clarity and with helpful fingerings, these scores make this evocative, gentle music accessible for piano players of all levels and abilities.After a decade working as a musician, UK-based pianist & composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene, following the release of his first EP 'Preface' and his debut full length album ‘Mono'. He has recently completed recording his second album with funding support from Help Musicians UK, and has released a number of singles, reworks and compilation contributions for labels such as Bigo & Twigetti, 1631 Recordings and Thesis DRIVE.In recent years, Simeon has performed & toured extensively across the UK and Europe, supporting and playing alongside S. Carey, Sebastian Plano, Loscil, Marconi Union, Erland Cooper & Taz Modi, whilst also appearing at Latitude Festival (UK), Q3Ambientfest (DE), FAN Festival (PT) and a range of concerts, shows, venues and live music events.He has received substantial radio airplay on BBC Radio 3, most notably from the increasingly popular ‘Unclassified’ show, with multiple plays on BBC 6Music, BBC World Service & BBC Introducing, alongside Seattle-based KEXP and Berlin-based NeoFM, and his music has been streamed ten million times across a variety of online platforms, featuring on Spotify’s Peaceful Piano & Classical New Releases playlists.He also founded and continues to curate Brudenell Piano Sessions; an intimate and varied series of live music events highlighting the diverse and varied music being composed and performed on the piano. Held at one of the UK’s most iconic venues - Brudenell Social Club - these events seek to give a platform for new and emerging artists to present their work in an informal, supportive and encouraging environment, whilst challenging audiences’ perceptions about where this work can be heard, and providing opportunities for new musical discoveries.With work described as ‘beautifully captivating’ by Gold Flake Paint and ‘sophisticated and elegant’ by Piano & Coffee, Simeon’s calm, introspective piano-based instrumentals invite listeners and performers alike to find stillness, beauty and meaning as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves. In a scrolling-fuelled world, these pieces offer pianists of all levels and abilities the opportunity to escape the busyness of everyday life, and find solace in some of Walker’s most popular music of the last five years.
