Boomkat Product Review:

Portuguese pianist and composer Tiago Sousa follows last year's "ANGST" with a meditative set of modern solo piano music that establishes a new series.

Solo piano music is a tough ask right now. The expectation, sadly, is not that a new set of solo piano might echo the brilliance of Harold Budd or Eric Satie, but that it'll sound closer to chocolate box schmaltz, primed for use on some car advert or another. Tiago Sousa though, a distinct and well-loved player, manages to swerve any such pitfalls; "Organic Music Tapes Vol. 1" is as far from idle decoration as it's possible to get with the piano. His playing sounds ambient, but not in a sense that it's familiar or easy to ignore; like Satie, it's music that feels rooted in architecture or space.

Sousa uses the piano to create forms and structures, his tones are tangible, colorful and dimensionally rich. Instead of relying on cheap emotional trickery, he lets tone and timbre sculpt images from sound waves.
