Four of the pieces, however, are performed using an upright piano, whose tones, created using the mute pedal, take on a deliberately intimate dimension, using cinematic, mysterious colours. Composed over a period of more than two years - a time he describes as \"years of solitude\" - Aurora, as it's title suggests, marks a new departure for Maxence Cyrin. \"I wanted to go beyond the solo piano of my early work and draw once again on minimalism, film music and new wave. So each of the pieces on this album is as short as a pop song. I have a 'pop brain' when I compose, even if my inspirations are still Beethoven and Debussy on the classical side and, closer to home, Philip Glass, Arvo Pärt and Ryuichi Sakamoto.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Endless Poetry \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Mer de velours \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Larmes glacées \u003cbr\u003e1.4 A Forest Bird Never Wants a Cage \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Progressive Nights \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Silk \u003cbr\u003e1.7 The Old Lady \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Nostalgia, Pt. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Nostalgia, Pt. 1 \u003cbr\u003e1.10 C \u003cbr\u003e1.11 Dusty Raven \u003cbr\u003e1.12 Tape \u003cbr\u003e1.13 The Frenchman \u003cbr\u003e1.14 Apollo \u003cbr\u003e1.15 Aurora \u003cbr\u003e1.16 Les Eaux mortes \u003cbr\u003e1.17 Polynomial-C \u003cbr\u003e1.18\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Maxence Cyrin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32481395343431,"sku":"40563664","price":18.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3833321-2586045_c491cdb4-8060-4f18-8fc1-0fa2bcde7cee.jpg?v=1711530675","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/maxence-cyrin-aurora","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
