SHIN SUZUMA
LISTEN l FOLLOWShin Suzuma is a pianist and composer. His music explores the meeting point between the classical and neo-classical, exploring an interplay between electronic, warped organic strings and piano textures. Inspired by the sonic and harmonic creativity of Chilly Gonzales and Nils Frahm, he began to develop his long-held love of improvisation into composition. Beginning the piano at age 3, many of his compositions are for solo piano and are played in such a way to create a sense of intimacy and calm. With the occasional touch of melancholy, his music always has a prevailing sense of hope and gentle optimism. Being of mixed British and Japanese heritage, his other inspirations include the Japanese artists Ryuichi Sakamoto and Joe Hisaishi. Shin Suzuma's 2023 debut EP "Introspect" was released on Platoon and was featured on Spotify’s Peaceful Piano to Apple Music’s Piano Chill playlists. The pieces were written and recorded for solo piano, with a small and intimate audience in mind; as if they were right next to the piano itself. "Introspect" is about the comfort we can find in moments of solitude and reflection.
“Silhouettes” is Shin Suzuma’s forthcoming EP, out on July 3, 2024. Composed and performed by Shin Suzuma, the new neo-classical EP of intimate solo piano works have a dream like quality; reflective in the the essence of the feelings entwinied with memory, particular scenes and subtle perceptions of flow.
Released: July 3, 2024
“These pieces feel like outlines of thoughts...
and while the emotional weight is felt, the edges of the outline is blurred; almost like a hangover of a dream that you can’t quite remember.”
