Info for Interlude

Gondwana Records is pleased to announce ‘Interlude’, the second album from Estonian-born, London-based composer and pianist Hanakiv.

Showcasing an expanded sound, the compositions trace a journey of overcoming the past, unfolding into a seductively unconventional style imbued with hope and a therapeutic quality.

Existing in a liminal space between genres, Interlude , the second album from composer, pianist and now singer Hanakiv is as mysterious as it’s seductively unconventional, with piano, often prepared, only one of its elements, both analogue and electronic. First inspired by “those crystallised moments where time almost stands still, pain hasn’t yet fully set in, and happiness is still just a glimpse,” it provides, all the same, “a sense of hope that standing still is part of living.”

Interlude’s range is further intimated by its contributors, including Portico Quartet’s Milo Fitzpatrick, who, as well as playing double bass throughout, co-wrote the refreshed long-term live favourite, ‘Intro’, and the eloquent closer, Stillness’. Also present are saxophonist Pille-Rite Rei, cellist Joanna Gutowska, violinist Gabriel Green, and PIKE on drums, helping capture the instances Hanakiv calls “in-betweens”.

Unpredictable, unfathomable, candid and carefree, Interlude embodies flaws embraced as well as senses regained. This record is a product of creative and personal revelation, earned only when one’s true self.

Hanakiv
Estonian composer and musician Hanakiv is Gondwana Records’ latest addition, and she is blending classical with electronic music.

Based in London now, Hanakiv is both a sound artist and a pianist who released her incredible debut album, Goodbye.

Music plays a significant role in her Estonian culture. Coming from a musical family, it is only natural that Hanakiv takes on this path to sculpt something uniquely hers for the world to hear, especially after moving to London, where she could express herself freely.

The young composer and musician draw musical influences for her brand of meditative piano-based ambient music with classical and dark electronic undertones from artistes like Tim Hecker, Björk, Kara-Lis Coverdale, Arvo Pärt, Erkki-Sven Tüür and Aphex Twin, and her cultural heritage too. For sure, Hanakiv is a melting pot of unconventional tunes that will fill your soundscapes. We spoke to the artiste about her journey into music, her Estonian heritage, producing her first album and more.
