José Miguel Beviá - José Miguel Beviá: Symphony No.1, Three Enigmas, Flute Trio (2021)

Tekstura is a series of instrumental piano compositions coloured with subtle textures. With the aim of combining melody and sonic texture deriving solely from the piano, the project started life as an investigation into sustaining tones using electronic bows on the piano strings. From these early experiments it expanded organically to incorporate a wider musical palette including the violin of former Placebo member and compoer Fiona Brice and cello of Alice Allen of award winning Gaia Duo.
Three singles The Noise He Kept So Quiet, Ostranenie and Prelude in E minor were digitally released in 2020.
Another three followed in summer 2021: Piano Lumineuse, Odessa 4am and Schumann’s Resonance.
The album,Tekstura, is now out through London based label Blurred Recordings.
Running like a soundtrack to an imaginary film, Tekstura takes inspiration from the piano itself, the urban environment and early cinema.
