Polish pianist Dominik Wania is set to release Lonely Shadows (ECM Records) on September 18. Dominik Wania has a classical background, but he also has instincts of a great improviser.
Wania says about this solo piano recording: “I didn’t want to prepare anything in advance. No forms or melodic sketches or harmonic layers. I was fully dependent on the creative process of playing here and now.”
The music of Lonely Shadows reveals the aesthetic influence of composers Wania admires and has studied closely, “including Satie, Weber, Scriabin, Prokofiev and especially Ravel and Messiaen.”
