Acclaimed composer and pianist Poppy Ackroyd returns with Liminal, her intimate new album. Written and recorded during a period of profound upheaval and transition, it marks a retu rn to the core of Ackroyd’s practice, bringing piano and violin back together. For the first time since 2019’s Feathers, Ackroyd reunites these two instruments exclusively, with every sound on the album drawn from piano and violin alone. Melody, harmony, rhythm and texture are all extracted from the physical bodies of the instruments themselves, from bowed and plucked strings to percussive elements. Working within these limitations remains central to her creative process. “On par with neo-classical giants Nils Frahm, Max Richter and Hauschka” MOJO Show more
