I had a dream last night. I was playing the piano in an old jazz club, one that looked like the ones from twenties movies. There was a girl too, wearing a red dress. She was standing behind the microphone with her eyes closed. It all felt so natural. Playing this piano seemed so easy, that is why I knew it was only a dream. Yet, I tried to remember the melody, the order of the keys. I can actually play the piano a little bit so who knows, maybe one day I'll recreate the song from my dream and play it in an old jazz club. It would be nice but there are people who can do far greater things with this almost divine instrument, people like Keith Kenniff for example.

One half of Mint Julep and sole member of Helios, Keith Kenniff is no stranger to the world of ambient, post rock and modern classical music. Since 2001, Kenniff releases new work and tours the globe on a regular basis, with good reason too. He is one of those artists that can set the mood with only a touch on the keys. That is what he does on 'Occasus', the new Goldmund album, set to be released in April. With a minimal sound, balancing between classical music and electronic ambient, Kenniff gently turns your room into that old jazz club and I couldn't be happier about it.

'Occasus' contains fifteen tracks, all following the path of piano melodies and minimal ambient soundscapes. In that aspect, it is probably safe to say that Goldmund sails the same vast but calm waters as Olafur Arnalds, A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Max Richter. My favorite tracks here are 'Breaking',  'Circle' and the breathtaking ambient piece 'Terrarium' but I'm sure every fan of dreamy ambient can easily appreciate this. So, without further ado, I think it's time for you to go over to Goldmund's bandcamp page and pre-order this album. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
