————————————

Alex Kozobolis [b. 1984, London, England] is a self taught pianist and composer. His work is primarily concerned with narrative and adventure; both in composition and improvisation. He is attracted to the freedom and spontaneity offered by the un-edited nature of the improvised form, but is conversely drawn to the more structured and refined process of composition for its potential to communicate concisely.

Recorded in Norwich in late 2012 and set against the desolate backdrop of the end of Autumn, ‘From November’ is an invocation for the re-emergence of all that is dormant.. “despite the cold, through the leaves the light will warm us again” .. 
Commenting on the remix element of the project, Kozobolis says “Lee has an incredible ability to inject warmth and feeling into his sounds, with such subtlety and precision. I was convinced that he would not only do justice to the themes of ‘From November’ but that he’d bring something completely new to the project. His remixes have perfectly condensed the mood of my original recordings, as well as adding texture and depth to them”

Personal statement for this release:
Alex and I were introduced by a few mutual friends. He is a very humble pianist and fast becoming a great friend. I am amazed at his ability to improvise with such fluidity yet with such controlled discipline. From November is a beautiful EP that resonates in me more so than other pianists composing at that time. Working with pre-recorded piano is a harmonic challenge when creating tonal music using loops. It is finding a pattern to the puzzle or a path underneath a beautiful blanket of snow. I could have used everything and played a bit more chaotic, however, finding these loops and patterns and finding this path has led me to what you hear on this record
