Simon James Phillips delivers a striking exploration of acoustic sound on Chair, a studio album recorded on a Bosendorfer Imperial piano within the resonant walls of Berlin’s Grunewald Church. Rooted firmly in classical tradition yet unafraid to embrace minimalist and experimental forms, Phillips crafts intricate soundscapes that highlight the physical beauty of unadulterated piano tones—completely free from electronic effects.
What sets Chair apart is its pure devotion to the natural resonance of the instrument and space, offering listeners a deeply immersive, tactile experience. Each composition reveals subtle interplay between tempo, rhythm, and silence, encouraging attentive listening and reflection—making it a compelling addition for fans of contemporary classical and meticulously produced acoustic music.
