Etudes of the Crow

by Gifts From Crows

supported by

Mood Exhibit The 3rd Gifts From Crows album is a perfect blend of charming and melancholy piano based neoclassical tracks. Since these tracks all began as solo piano compositions, they have an intimate quality even beyond the first 2 stellar albums. The grace and sincerity of Richard’s playing is something that resonates brightly . As I listen to this I feel comfort. Really a perfect winter release to warm the soul. Favorite track: Forever Surrendering.

about

The 3rd album from Gifts From Crows, ‘Etudes of the Crow’ is the final part of the trilogy that started with ‘Holding a Thought Forever’ back in 2020.

An Etude can be interpreted as a ‘study’ in musical form, a short instrumental composition that is designed to practice a particular skill or technique. And in one way or another, the 8 pieces that constitute this album did evolve out of experiments with time signatures, sound design and performance.

This Is For Our Sins
by Lowercase Noises

supported by 4 fans who also own “Etudes of the Crow”

There is something haunting about the family having zero clue about WW2 in its entirety. I remember learning about them and wondering and I still wonder now how many are still in the wilderness, driven there by atrocities or not. Many find being alone to be fear inducing. But they left and isolated out of fear to begin with. This music is just the tip of the iceberg for how haunting and emotional the situation is. It does its job as well as possible, though. Amazing. jacensolodjo
