"Circulate" by Carlos Cipa is a sparse piece with somber undertones that captures the ambience of the evening. Add the piece to your listening library on digital platforms: https://w.lnk.to/cirLY

On a circulating four-chord progression, a very sensitive and beautiful melody evolves and takes shape over the course of the piece. The ambiguity of the piece originates in the nature of the chords: we never hear the chords in root position but always in their first inversion which gives the chords an uneasiness and never lets them resolve.

In March 2022, Carlos Cipa visited the famous piano manufacturing workshop Klangmanufaktur in Hamburg to play and record on one of their incredibly beautiful instruments. They collect old and worn out sometimes unplayable Steinway grand pianos and completely restore them to turn them into perfect concert instruments.

Excited about discovering these idiosyncratic instruments, Carlos decided to record in the workshop on KM133, a recently restored Steinway C grand piano built in 1925.
