This Polish neo-classical pianist and composer employs a delicate, vulnerable, and minimalist playing style with modern recording techniques to evoke themes of self, home, and landscape.

This Polish neo-classical pianist and composer employs a delicate, vulnerable, and minimalist playing style with modern recording techniques to evoke themes of self, home, and landscape. Born in 1990 in the northern coastal city of Gdańsk, the peaceful tone of Rani's music suggests the rippling, wide expanse of water which she was close to during much of her youth. She was classically trained at the Feliks Nowowiejski music school in her hometown, where she met cellist and best friend Dobrawa Czocher. Later Rani moved on to Warsaw's Fryderyk Chopin University of Music where she built upon her devout, conscientious approach to study with extra-curricular diversions into jazz and electronica. Following 2015's Biała Flaga, a joint album release with Czocher, she traveled to Reykjavik to compose and record solo material. Jazz trumpeter Matthew Halsall was so impressed by her demos that he offered to issue her 2019 debut album, Esja, on his Manchester-based Gondwana Records. This record's release led to five Fryderyk nominations for Rani in Poland, and she began to talk about its 2020 sequel, Home. « hide |
