With “Ide 1A,” Trond Flaata steps into a more minimal, modern piano-driven space, immersive from the very first note. Built around a looping melodic phrase, the composition embraces repetition as atmosphere. The title itself,  “Ide,” the Norwegian word for “idea,” fits perfectly, because the track unfolds like a single thought…

Madrid-based composer and pianist Saúl Aguado de Aza returns with EL CANTO DEL POETA, a richly textured album released on 14th May 2026 that feels like a conversation between memory, literature, and lived experience. Rooted in classical training yet constantly reaching outward, the record drifts between minimal piano sketches and…
