The origin of the album started more than a decade ago, when André was living in Texas with his son. He says the house was pretty empty, including just a few beds, a TV, and a piano. André began playing the piano and most of the tracks that appear on the album were recorded informally at home, using an iPhone or a laptop microphone. Only “blueberry mansions” was recorded in a studio.
The album itself is comprised of improvisational tunes that André says he conjures up. “I spread my fingers out on the keys and randomly but with purpose move them around until I find something that feels good or interesting. I cannot name which notes, keys, or chords that I’m playing and I simply like the sound and mechanics of piano playing.”
“These piano pieces weren’t recorded with the intention of presenting them in any formal way to the public,” he writes on Instagram. “They were personal, at home recordings. I would sometimes text them to my family and friends.”
