This music is reinterpreted on my 114 year old upright piano which was very kindly donated to me by my friend Adam Selzer who previously ran a recording studio in Portland called Type Foundry. This piano is very sentimental to me as it was used by a handful of my favourite musicians on their albums over the past 20 years, namely Peter Broderick’s \u003ci\u003eHow They Are \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Two Balloons\u003c\/i\u003e. Somehow in a wild twist of fate, this piano would end up in my living room as my own and I couldn’t imagine a greater musical instrument best friend. Felt The Transition was made with a homemade felt setup used to muffle the sound into a warmer quality which also accentuates the wooden creaky noises of the antique piano, which I love so much. After spending hours at a time getting lost in the beautiful sound of this piano, I started learning a few songs from \u003ci\u003eThe Transition\u003c\/i\u003e with it. I was kindly encouraged by my girlfriend to interpret the whole album on piano even if just for her, so I did and it eventually found a home on Erased Tapes.\" — David Allred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKept in their original track order, from the opening chords of\u003ci\u003e Scoop Troop \u003c\/i\u003eto the debut’s standout piece \u003ci\u003eThe Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, each composition gains a completely new light when performed on solo piano. For Catherine E. Coulson came about after David watched all of Twin Peaks in one block, which inspired him to write a wild punt for the new season’s soundtrack, a tribute to the actress who played the infamous Log Lady.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erased Tapes","offers":[{"title":"Black | LP","offer_id":50483645153611,"sku":"1106105","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/a91e89cf-d216-46ec-a5c2-debc646fede0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727571125","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/felt-the-transition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
