Event information

Submotion Orchestra are proud to present a solo show from their pianist Taz Modi, who will be previewing music from his forthcoming solo album ‘Reclaimed Goods’. Taz’s solo project combines atmospheric piano, lush strings, and subtle, ambient electronica to create unique and evocative soundscapes.

With influences ranging from the modern piano of Nils Frahm and Hauschka to the ambient electronica of Oneohtrix Point Never and Portico Quartet, these cinematic and emotional compositions come alive with the help of a string trio and live piano looping.

‘A joy to watch…one of contemporary music’s best pianists’ - AAAmusic
‘Shimmering, alluring piano’ - The Guardian

Lineup:
Taz Modi - piano, electronics
Justine Bui - violin
Mariona De Lamo - cello
Fraser Bowles - cello

+ support from Simeon Walker

Simeon Walker:
Brudenell Piano Sessions is hosted and curated by Leeds-based pianist Simeon Walker. Following a decade working as a musician, UK-based pianist and composer Simeon Walker has quickly emerged as a leading light in the burgeoning Modern Classical scene in his own right, following the release of his EP Preface (2016) and his debut full length album Mono at the end of 2017, followed by a European Tour and airplay for his latest single ‘Shelter’ across BBC Radio 3.

With consecutive official Piano Day playlist features and numerous glowing reviews from across the music world, Walker’s calm, introspective piano instrumentals invite the listener to find stillness and beauty as much in the spaces between the notes as the notes themselves, as musical stories are woven with each tender, intimate performance.

“Resplendent” – The Big Issue
“Beautifully captivating” – GoldFlakePaint
“A tender-hearted collection of thoughtfully composed pieces in slow bloom and wrapped in hushed intimacy” – Stationary Travels
“Listening to ‘Mono’ is remembering to breathe again” – GIGsoup
