Description:

Estonian-born, London-based female pianist/sound artist Hanakiv makes her beautifully meditative debut album. Gondwana Records, the UK label that has released some of the best albums of the year, including GoGo Penguin, Portico Quartet, and Hania Rani, is proud to present a new talent for 2023! Hanakiv is a young female pianist/sound artist/arranger from Estonia, currently living and working in London. Her piano-based compositions, which incorporate elements of classical and electronica, are reminiscent of her countryman Arvo Pärt, Hauschka, Tim Hecker, Aphex Twin, and labelmate Hanya Lani. The music is a combination of traditional music, such as the chants of his native Estonia, and the majestic nature - beautiful coastal and forest scenes, as well as the diverse, radical, and free attitude toward expression in the metropolis of London.Inspired by both, her music is a unique sound world where beautiful melodies and electronic sounds are emotionally fused with sound construction that makes full use of various recording techniques, including the introduction of a prepared piano.
