Carlos Cipa is a 22 year old composer/musician residing in Munich (Germany) where he is currently studying composition. Carlos discovered his passion for music very early in his life. At the age of 6 he began taking classical piano lessons with various renowned teachers.

Ten years later after he started playing drums he became more and more interested in composition and improvisation. In the following years he made lots of experiences in many music styles like jazz, hardcore/punk, indie rock and orchestral music. Influenced by Eric Satie and Claude Debussy his piano music impresses particularly because of its intensity and great attention to detail. It’s not only enhanced by his classical background and symphonic film music works, but also by the experiences he made as drummer in di erent bands. Besides the piano he is interested in all di erent kinds of instruments, as experimenting takes an important role in his work.

Not playing just traditional concert rooms Carlos so far shared the stage with marvelous acts like A Winged Victory For The Sullen, Rivulets or Library Tapes.

Poppy Ackroyd is a performer and composer from London who is currently based in Edinburgh. Classically trained on
violin and piano, she fell in love with contemporary piano music and with the piano beyond the keys, discovering the world of sound that could be made from other parts of the instrument. Realising the violin had the same potential, she has spent the last few years composing delicate, intricate and beautifully atmospheric music by manipulating and multi-tracking sounds from these two instruments.

Her debut album 'Escapement' stays true to this idea. Every sound, with the exception of a few field recordings, is
created using only either the piano or the violin. The seven tracks are a combination of piano melodies and chords -
played both conventionally or created inside the piano using fingers, e-bows and plectrums - violin textures, melodies and
pizzicato ri s and finally delicate beats composed of hits, plucks, taps and scrapes made using hands, drumsticks, beaters and small cymbals on either the frame, strings or dampers of the piano. There are often five or more di erent percussive lines working alongside each other.

In order to compose in this way, Poppy had to learn how to record and produce the music herself, as working with
someone else would have been far too time consuming. Having discovered and restored a beautiful but neglected grand piano, she bought a laptop, digital recorder and speakers. Everything from the piano is recorded in her home studio with just this one microphone.
