Sissi Rada

What kind of music should you play when you decide to do this pointless drive to no specific destination? I hope you know which drive I mean. You are usually alone there, but you never feel lonely. Lately it’s been silence that accompanies this long held ritual. But when I first got my driver’s license, the absolute soundtrack was a Johannes Brahms album played on piano by Glenn Gould. A summit meeting of two heartbreaking loners, that served classical music as if it was the only thing they ever loved. To adapt and perform those four Intermezzi on harp was a dream come true.
During post-production, the temptation to succumb to some guilty pleasures, was too great to overcome. A trained ear will notice some ad libitum hard panning in peak moments of the composition, a technique hardly used in classical recordings, as it may disorient the listener. I wonder if a total sense of position is overrated. This very propelling of sound through musical space, is not only an invitation to lose direction, but also a symbolic tribute to the locomotive character of the Intermezzi, as a soundtrack for therapeutically idle car rides.
Arranged, performed, recorded, mixed and mastered by me, in my bedroom in Berlin, on a 100 years old rare Style 3 Lyon and Healy harp. Artistic design by , cover photo by . This release marks the beginning of the new label Palm, that I have the honor and pleasure to run with the amazing Mike Harding ( , ash international, spire). Palm is dedicated to classical and contemporary music. Happy to receive your demos if you fall into the category of classical musicians that want to challenge their backgrounds.
