OUT TODAY: ‘Suntub extras’

Originally released at the end of 2024 as video files on Youtube and shared on email with a .gif, Suntub extras is an expansion of the world which was unfolded on ML Buch’s double album Suntub from 2023. Now released on digital streaming platforms and as a limited edition 10” picture disc vinyl, Suntub extras presents six more plateaus, locations or scenes created during the years of making Suntub. 


All six pieces find themselves in spaces without vocals, where narration is left open for the instruments to speak for themselves. In this manner, Suntub extras expands on the instrumental part of Suntub, making for half of the 2023 record, and pointing towards what’s next for the Danish composer.

My piano piece 'getting to know each other' is out as part of the new solo piano compilation 'piano1'

The piece is a dialogue between different piano elements and deals with both the euphoric and confusing awkwardness of getting to know a new person. It starts with a call n response between a very simple riff played on a grand piano and a melody answering both in pitch and completely out of tune. It’s been fun playing a very expensive newly tuned grand piano and also layering 5 upright pianos each in its own very bad shape. The riff transitions into an ostinato and another piano enters and tries to learn that ostinato - sines played with an EBow on the piano strings flow on top

Looking back I guess I treated the piano more like a guitar and tried to mess a little with this clean and precise sounding instrument

The whole piano1 compilation will be out on section1 Nov 22 featuring new original compositions by Mark William Lewis, Kelly Moran, Ichiko Aoba and more
