Info for Still Life (Solo Piano Version)

"The search for peace is eternal and, for me, is a work in progress but, through the song, Still Life, I attempt to paint some of those internal conversations with each piano texture, colour and instrument taking on a different ‘character’. I wanted to create a sort of dance sequence, with different timbres weaving in and out like colliding fissions in a world of simulated chaos".

Inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, British pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench formulates his life's mission: through classical music, he wants to advocate for a society of diversity, equality and mutual respect. On his album "Truth", he makes his vision resound. "What is my task in the world" - the British pianist and composer Alexis Ffrench tries to answer this fundamental question for himself with his album "Truth".

Alexis Ffrench
UK contemporary composer and pianist Alexis Ffrench is one of the UK’s most distinctive and relevant artists. Alexis is already an established star in the streaming world - his music speaking to a wide audience and transcending all boundaries and genres. As likely as one would be to find him listening to Kendrick Lamar or Chance the Rapper as Bach, his combination of classical training and love for R&B and Roots music has helped define his unique sound. Trying to break the rigorous and academic preconceptions of classical music, Alexis has now found himself as one of the leading voices of a new wave of composers, redefining the genre made accessible by Ludovico Einaudi and Michael Nyman. Inspired in his youth by icons such as Stevie Wonder and Bob Marley, Alexis felt destined to pursue a career in music, but without a piano at home, he first developed his skills by silently playing the dining room table. He didn’t allow the absence of an instrument to hold him back, and is an alumnus of the most prestigious music institutions in the country: Purcell School of Music, Royal Academy of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Alexis released Bluebird in September 2017, which reached over 1 million streams in just 7 weeks. Alexis’ brand new album 'Evolution' is out now.

This album contains no booklet.
