Resonance FM show on Stephen Grew
Listen to a special, one hour broadcast on Lancaster-based free improvising pianist Stephen Grew, one of the early-announced SHAPE artists of 2017, who, on December 6, will play a solo concert as part of SHAPE’s large showcase at the Novas Frequências festival in Rio de Janeiro.
This broadcast sees Grew speaking of his background, technique and influences, and its musical part is entirely comprised of previously unpublished solo piano recordings. He describes it in the following words: “The music is completely improvised and improvised with two vital ingredients: firstly, my experience of many years exploring the instrument and, secondly, having faith in the unfolding of many patterns, shapes, phrases and mystery.”
The Novas Frequências festival starts on December 3, and continues until December 8. A total of 13 SHAPE acts, including Stephen Grew, Toxe and Mr. Mitch, will participate. Click here to find out more.
