Derek Baron, Cameron Kapoor, and John Andrew Wilhite—who had previously released arrangements of piano pieces by German philosopher and musicologist Theodor W. Adorno from the early to mid-20th century via New York’s “Reading Group”—have now released a new album on “TTT.” The album features medieval English polyphonic chansons by Guillaume de Machaut, musical works composed by the philosopher Nietzsche, Bach’s hymns, “Inferno and Paradiso” by Satie, Mahler, and Saint-Saëns stretched out to extremely slow tempos, Peggy Seager’s 1950s American folk songs, Valentin Silvestrov’s 1970s piano pieces for Ukrainian children, and even excerpts from Michael Pollard’s 2016 piano sonata. The soundscape, reminiscent of an old tape and imbued with a cozy, homey atmosphere—including laughter during the performances—is exquisite, right down to the simple, natural fluctuations in the sound. Be sure to check out the track list as well. For the hearth of your heart. (Original Japanese text by Adachi)
