Orange by Henning Schmiedt

Henning Schmiedt’s latest solo piano album marks his first release in two years, reflecting a period of significant change. The album comprises 16 poetic and intimate pieces, performed on both muted upright and grand pianos, frequently enriched with delicate and warm electronic textures. The music is emotive and lyrical, evoking a sense of gentle whispering.

Henning Schmiedt describes his inspiration:

“For me, orange is much more than a color. It’s a smell, a feeling of warmth, balance, and a desire to create. It embodies summery warmth, fruity sparkle, and the healing golden light of orange. It represents an active state of creativity and happiness, a warm, all-encompassing sound, like a refreshing swim in a forest lake.”
