Arkata (Munich Session)

A very freely played song on the edge of being too quiet to hear the circular figure the piece is based on. At moments, a subtle melody bursts out of the cloudy patterns and causes slight shifts in rhythm and mood.

Arkata highlights Cipa's idiosyncratic style as a pianist and composer. His piano playing is gentle and humble, imbuing the music with both a subtle melancholy and graceful poise – minimal means achieve maximum effect.
