Contemplations ~ Opus I & II

For his second album Contemplations ~ Opus I & II, DeLange chose his long lost upright piano as a perfect companion to compose his new pieces on.

DeLange about Contemplations ~ Opus I &II: “We all need time to ponder on our lives, but rarely take the time to contemplate. I decided to secure my own pondering time and keep a diary in the form of musical phrases that reflect the emotions of that day. Recorded at night in my living room at my upright piano. Each night a small time-space oasis to escape the immediate surroundings reflect and to on past events.”

Using vintage microphones he got from his dad – also a musician, he captured the warm and characteristic sound of the piano. As a listener, you feel like you’re in the room with the composer. Up close and personal.
