Out Today - Nicolas Van Poucke - Chopin.

Recorded straight into the groove, live, un-edited with everything on the line. Van Poucke passes up the conventional method and approaches this recording in the same way as he would a live performance. Capturing every moment exactly how it was in the studio.

“Overall, with this album, I have aimed to showcase the full spectrum of Chopin’s genius, from the intense drama of his larger works to the delicacy and poignancy of his miniatures. Recorded direct-to-disc, without any editing, the music is presented in its most honest and purest form, highlighting the utterly communicative aspect of Chopin’s music.” .pianist

Night Dreamer

“It’s a paradox, in a way, like you’d have in a dream – something that’s both light and heavy,” Wayne Shorter muses, speaking to Nat Hentoff for the liner notes of Night Dreamer, his 1964 album and first for Blue Note as a leader.

Night Dreamer takes its name from this album, and retains something of the essence of what he was trying to convey.

Working with Artone Studio, and located above Record Industry pressing plant in Haarlem, Netherlands, Night Dreamer specialises in direct-to-disc recordings – the process by which music is cut onto acetate from single-take live performances, without interference: Neumann microphone to Neumann lathe. From there, it is simply ‘walked downstairs’ to the pressing plant.

For musicians recording at Artone, the process speaks to Shorter’s paradox. The levity of liberation vs. the weight of expectation; trust in raw musicianship vs. vulnerability of exposure. It is in such alchemical moments of contrast that the essence of expression can emerge.
