Clarity in Depth 1 & 2

Clarity in Depth is a geology term related to soil investigation. This album was born as a kind of soil investigation; in my search for the depths in music I tried to get certain thoughts clear and bright. Ever since I was a child I crawl behind the piano to organize my thoughts and sail away with the sounds. Only through clear water you can see depth. I always want to play pieces from my heart, feel the composer's soul and thereby connect with the listener. So I went to search for beautiful, sound-rich pieces that provide tranquility and emotion. If an emotion is very strongly or intensely felt, you can talk about its depth. In arts depth means three-dimensional, while clarity is the quality in being clear in outline or sound. So I placed the microphones closer to the grand piano than is usual, in order to make the listener experience it as if you are spatially part of it, standing right next to it. You should think carefully about depth, it is not always immediately clear, while it hides serious and interesting qualities. Henry Kelder
