about

"Elementary Play”, comprising eleven instrumental pieces, stands out with its innovative and genre-blending approach, combining elements of ambient, down-tempo, jazz, and classical music. This is not your typical classical piano; the piano, at times, takes on an electronic quality and is skillfully interwoven with a plethora of ambient and effective sound effects, creating a rich tapestry of soundscapes that define the distinctive character of "Elementary Play."

The opening track, "Nata," sets the tone with an arpeggio that acts as an ostinato, serving as a rhythmic foundation for a free-flowing melody that soars over it. This juxtaposition creates a sense of redemption and sets the stage for the journey that follows. The same texture reappears later in the album, in tracks like "Stucknessness" and partially in "Neer," reinforcing the sense of continuity and interconnectedness between the compositions.

“Abandon All Hope" takes a different turn with its effective percussion and jazzy piano rhythms. This piece has a more classical appeal, offering a delightful contrast within the album. The title track, "Elementary Play," stands at the heart of the album, delivering a more ambient sound with a pronounced electronic influence.

The album gracefully concludes with "Hesitance," a slow and ambient piece characterized by minimalist piano. As the album reaches its conclusion, the listener is left in a state of awe, a moment for introspection and contemplation, which lingers even after the final note has faded.

"Elementary Play” is not just another ordinary album of ambient music; it's a subtle symphony
