Coutigny, Mirek

The Further We Ventured

In recent years, pianist and producer Mirek Coutigny has worked on his own world of sound with electronic and acoustic instruments. He improvised on sketches that he wrote over the last 10 years and reworked them for piano, strings, percussion and electronics. The common thread running through "The Further We Ventured" is a fascination for the "suburbs", more specific, the contrast between the often similar facades and the diversity of stories behind those facades. This is also reflected in the contrast between the acoustic elements of the record (the "Safe Gray" of the neighborhood in which you grow up) and the slumbering electronics (the "Colorful Danger" that typifies a childs raving imagination). This second album sounds a lot more intuitive and organic: where debut album "Revisions # 1" was a record of thoughts, "The Further We Ventured" is a record from the heart. Sometimes complex, sometimes amazingly accessible; comparisons with Johann Johannsson or olafur Arnalds are never far away.
