Laraaji unveils new album, Moon Piano

Melancholy piano improvisations recorded in a working church.

Ambient master Laraaji is releasing the second album in a trilogy of improvised piano releases, titled Moon Piano, via All Saints Records this October.

Laraaji recorded Moon Piano live in a Brooklyn church, with the sounds of both the everyday happenings of the church and New York itself finding their way into the album.

Moon Piano by Laraaji

Designed as a companion piece to his Sun Piano album, which was taken from the same session, Moon Piano sees Laraaji crafting more sombre, melancholy improvisations.

He presents the album as a “contemplative sound painting, embracing quiet tranquil unfolding of nurturing reflection”.
