K.E. An absolute bliss of minimalistic, ethereal modern classical music. Every piece feels carefully & individually composed; thus each song easily stands on its own, versus trying to “fit it” with the rest of the album.

Kelly Rivera Peaceful and calming

about

“Held” chronicles a challenging personal period when I needed to return to something simple. With the artistic limitation of a single piano, I composed and recorded music with the aim of feeling held, heard, and connected. The result is a minimalistic instrumental album, with vulnerability, warmth, and intimacy that sounds almost like you’re sitting inside the piano in my living room. While listening to the music you are experiencing the soft brushing of the hammers, shuffling wood keys, and delicate incidental noises and textures that give a sense of space and detail allowing the piano to sing in a physical and tactile way.

Held was originally released by 1631 Recordings with distribution and publishing by Universal Music Group/Decca.
