Berlin based pianist & music producer Arnold Kasar is a musical jack-of-all trades: leaving his mark in countless and differing projects throughout the years. The musician, who was trained in sound- engineering, had his solo debut back in 2012 with The Piano Has Been Smoking. In 2017 he released the highly-acclaimed album Einfluss, together with Hans-Joachim Roedelius, on the famous Deutsche Grammophon Label.
"Moon Square" is the first release from his highly anticipated new album, focusing on improvisation and soundscape.
"Improvisation is always the base. From there, songs grow and everything else blossoms. Sometimes the improvisation is the finished piece. I’ve been improvising for as long as I could play piano, in my own systems and patterns, but always, in harmony. I don’t think I’ve ever sounded as authentic and direct as on these recordings because they’re all improvised out of nothing, created in the place where I grew up. From here the road could lead in many directions. New songs, maybe new sounds on another piano, but this is the foundation. Purity and tranquility. I went back to the beginning so that I could keep going forwards.“
