Verve

Sebastian Plano

Beautiful‘ – Clash

Filmed in one day at an abandoned distillery in Berlin, this conceptual performance video showcases the multiple piano, cello and voice tracks that Grammy-nominated Argentinian neo-classical musician Sebastian Plano layers into the sensational, melancholic yet uplifting symphony of VERVE.

This ambitious work is filled with loss and mourning for another, previously unheard and finished album, which after saved on Plano’s hard drives were sadly stolen from his car. After the incident, he was unable to recover the original records, and Plano set out to reproduce, once again, what he thought was the workings of the past. But in its stead, a new recording has emerged.’

‘Along with albums by Jon Hopkins and Ólafur Arnalds – those electronic meets modern classical epics that project the genre forward into the heart. The repeating mildly effected melody appears in variations as if you are reminded of a dream. The keys are soft, and kind, and honest, sparkling among the reverbs and delays that make up the percussion. This is a cinematic score, drifting past your eyes, as people’s lives drift past your hands and ears.’ – HPC
