Contemporary pianist James Heather presents his debut album - 'Stories From Far Away On Piano'

On the surface 'Stories From Far Away On Piano"s solo minimal piano pieces have a simple, innate beauty, but there's also a stark intensity simmering within, as the emotional landscape shifts from harrowing, sad, optimistic, to fascinating. Heather has spent many years honing composition before stepping out and making his fresh take on solo piano public. He takes influence from electronic music in structure, ambience and melody, whilst also utilising a classical and jazz grounding. The album's concept meanwhile centres on Heather's interpretations of real world stories he read in the news, while composing.

James Heather is one of the new school set of 'post classical' artists flourishing in the wake of the long, steady but recently accelerated success of figureheads like Max Richter and Nils Frahm, and the wider public's overdue but now burgeoning relationship with this varied genre.
