Mélange by Shoshana Michel
The music from Mélange was born out of contemplation and inspiration. Some of the compositions from this album reflect the different emotions, thoughts and feelings that Shoshana had experienced during very challenging and confusing times, while others were inspired by music and those that composed it; mainly the minimalistic pianists that had been motivating and inspiring her the last several years. Mélange is distinctive in that it was recorded on a felted upright piano giving the pieces a more soft and intimate sound and are mostly minimalistic in nature which differs from her previously released albums.
