Vinyl ON GIACOMETTI

Description

Hania Rani presents "On Giacometti," a tender meditation on the life and art of Alberto Giacometti and his family. This collection of beautiful recordings, inspired by the renowned artist, features some of Rani's most delicate compositions to date. Invited by director Susanna Fanzun to score her forthcoming documentary on the legendary artist, Rani retreated to the Swiss mountains, where she composed these pieces in solitude. The compositions are based on improvised melodies, simple harmonies, and structures, inspired by the silence of the mountains, as Rani returns to her main instrument, the piano. The results are reminiscent of her beloved debut album "Esja," with subtle layers of synthesizer and, on two tracks, cello from longtime collaborator Dobrawa Czocher. "On Giacometti" is presented as a limited edition LP with bespoke packaging featuring Les Naturals - Chocolat (Gmund) sustainable recycled paperboard and foil artwork by Łukasz Pałczyński, including a double-sided printed insert and download code.
