What in the World did I just listen to? It is like a stream, a river, carrying you and liberating you from the rigidity of your own perception. It rebuilds your thoughts while you're thinking. It is like you are dissolving into yourself. I can't find the words...
Indeed, it is so freeing that it is difficult to adequately describe with mere words. As we keep shifting, drifting, settling momentarily and then continuing to shift, drift and settle..
My wife and I caught her live in Chicago at the end of last year and we still ask ourselves that same question. It was very beautiful is all I can say and at one point I even noticed my wife wiping tears from her eyes.

Hania Rani is one of those rare artists who has seemingly mastered the technique of restraint. She's always keeping you held on by a single thread, never giving anything away too early. Not many other artists with such a beautiful voice would wait 15 minutes to start singing- and yet, by taking her time to establish the instrumental world first, she allows just enough time for us to forget about the human voice, making it even more enchanting when she finally reminds us. She's truly a genius composer of modern classical.
Completely agree! She's incredibly controlled especially around velocity and has created such interesting compositions! Her voice is such a pleasant surprise too! 👍 Love the layering, it's absolutely fantastic!
I'm feeling the opposite. To my profane ears this music translates as unrestrained and self indulgent. She's promenading up and down the keys with an ethos and abandonment that don't match the blandness of what's coming out. I'm rating her high on the BS scale :)
@@Desuetus And that goes to prove you've got profane ears. I don't want to argue. But if you you've been reading children's books all your life, how are you going to appreciate poetry? No way

Beautiful, alien, crystalline patterns expanding behind my closed eyes. Her music is full of duality. From the use of old and new technology, experiment & homage, confidence and doubt, frustration and celebration. All co-existing and complimenting each other - this is the human condition expressed in music.
This is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. As a professional musician myself it's hard not to appreciate every little detail here and every note in this performance is there for a reason. She really puts her heart into it, beyond magical... still she seem so humble afterwards. Man, I am glad I stumbled upon this today, today is a great day. Peace
@@AndyRoidEU she is still humble she has released 3 very successful albums and been writing and performing pieces for films and theatres for years. She is famous in her own right , she’s great isn’t she :)

I’m 70, never really looking for new music but it finds me, through kids and the (mostly) amazing internet, and so happy to be found. This post is amazing and I’m awed by Hania’s creativity. Many thanks💜💕 I just read an article in the NYT, I think, about why are so many people revisiting our generations music and loving it so much. But it’s always been so. In the 70’s we listened to Stevie wonder, pink Floyd, the white album etc, but many of us also loved and sang and performed, or tried to, Ella Fitzgerald, cole porter, Beethoven and Bolero. I bless the internet daily for how accessible everything is, from Bach to Radiohead. And now this beautiful sound
Wow, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I do often have the thought "man the music of past generations was SO much better." But I guess maybe that's because we've had more time to love it, but that doesn't mean modern music won't be remembered in the same way one day.
@@godiegolem Had a long talk with some friends on this subject and we came to the realization that it isn't that music today won't be remembered because it is "bad", but that instead there is just so much out there that some of the artists with the most talent and vision are swept by without us realizing.
Speechless. This beautiful woman is a testament as to how we need to allow our children to discover their creative selves wholeheartedly....by breaking the rules and experimenting. This child is a true angel and as Mako says "was kissed by the music of god". I am also hooked. This kind of creativity, if multiplied, and expanded, holds the secret to a new and better world.
Yes, and I feel that this world IS coming. The degrading industrial muzak is dying. This kind of freedom and spontaneity of expression is the healing and inspiring music of the next Age.
Good point. She does not play the piano in a traditional way in this piece. I usually think of an acoustic guitar as having the ability to be more of a percussive instrument than a piano because you can use your right hand to play rhytym and get percussive sounds.
I just want to hear her play ad infinitum. You know when you finish a book and you have that wave of sadness that it's over and you just want to have more of it... that's how I feel after this session ends.. I've been listening to her music constantly while absorbing myself in art projects and I'm so glad I found this music...
I listened today to this live session on my walk in the forest. Sound of light rain and birds singing melted perfectly together with Hania Rani. It felt out of this world. Came home with a smile on my face.
Me too. I sometimes struggle with following another’s recommendations but Gioia seems to have his finger on the pulse of my taste. His writing has introduced so much new music and his thoughts on AI are so perceptive. He is the only person I subscribe to on substack but that will change because it is the best forum currently available for free thinkers. Anyway, without the “polish noir” piece, I never would have heard this young woman’s music and that would have been a shame. She is sublime.
7:16 There is some magic going on here. The stone teletransports itself from the key to the top of the synth, and the cables on the top right move about a little
I have been pretty down the last few years--numb and unable to cry . When listening to this for the first time the other night, I felt something very beautiful, just the absolute joy that comes from the gift of music. My heart opened a little, Thank you, Hania
That ripple of joy is the universal source [God]. He/She comes to us in many forms. Please let us all open our hearts and surrender, when you resist less, it becomes a release and natural joy will come into your life. Release your cares and burdens because they are temporary distractions.
Im the same! Just discovered Hania and my all senses and soul woke up after past dark 3 years. can u imagine? her talent touch my soul literally omg amazing🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Olafurs Arnolds, Alexandre Desplat, Abel Korzeniowski, Bill Evans--these are the only other artists who can move me like this! Absolutely soul-wrenching!
Saw her perform last night in LA. What a show! Met her and she was gracious to sign my record and take a picture with me. What a sweet personality and such incredible talent. Wish her all the success in the world.
As a longtime fan of Philip Glass, this sounds absolutey brilliant, and takes me back to the 80s, when i would listen to Glassworks over and over and over. And, what a recording space!
I don’t know what just happened…. I heard a note played repeatedly with an unorthodox muting technique I’ve never seen. A voice spoke and I was taken back by how gentle she sounded compared to the pure emotional storm from her music. A few notes on an analog synth were played and a stone was placed to sustain a rhythmic note and an arpeggio played.. She sang as well. Today is a good day.
Her mastery of the keys is amazing , her control of dynamic range is sensitive and impeccable , and first time I've seen a pianist mute the strings for effect . . wOw
it's not just that is it. there's electronics involved here. repeating, looping.. etc. it's stil brilliant, but technologically there's more going on here..
Stumbled across this as sitting on a train journey across England. I am now crying my eyes out watching the pure genius of this musician. Dont want this journey to end.........
The first time I heard this, I thought to myself thank god for everything that ever happened that led me to this very moment. If the point of my existence was to live to hear this, it's good enough for me.
The beauty of this comes from the fact that if this was never recorded and it was just her performing in this empty room....she would be just as proud of what art she just created
@@nilsp9426 Oh, I like them fine. I would consider them our current standard. Hania is just going to push the boundaries of tradition even further, which is what I really like. Also, they are nearly 2x her age. Different generations.
@@erichaberman3812 All fine, I am just always reluctant to ever accept the "lately music has been shitty" argument. There is too much music to just judge a cohort, unless you are extremely specific about the genre.
This makes me want to “do my own thing” more than ever, not caring what people think, like she’s giving me permission to just play the real music in my heart, even though it might be different than what people want and expect from me. Total aside: I hope “my own thing” sounds a little bit like Hania!
Oh God! Modern Day Studio Technology is just unbelievable! The Sound is so fuckin wide, deep and huge, i was completely paralysed throughout the whole video. That was just sooo good!!!
My sentiments exactly. Listening to this reminded me of the movie "Koyaanisqatsi" made in 1982. That movie made me think no other movie can live up to it. It is not even using the medium in the same way, somehow. It just IS.
You know that feeling when you are fully engulfed in a book or film and it feels as if you lived through the story yourself. When you finish the story you wonder, well if that wasn’t real life then and I even living right now? That’s what connecting to this music feels like to me. Vulnerable, raw, and ethereal
There are no words…….I’ve searched everywhere within myself……you are a cosmic gift….you must’ve been born within the stars and now bless us with your Being. 🙏❤️
J ai jamais vue ça de va vue c est un don du ciel et don de l acoustique une recherche inépuisable sur le son et talent fou à couper le souffle vraiment elle mérite ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's wonderful to see a formally schooled, accomplished, musician fusing modern technology with traditional instruments and performance sensibilities. This is breathtaking, achingly beautiful, music. 20:28 It feels like I'm witnessing that moment when an artist is overcome by, and completely gives themselves over to, whatever spirit moves through them.
So glad that there are true musicians like you. Playing with skills with an angelic voice and connecting to a deeper spiritual level. Stay as you are. You don't make music. You are music.
WOW! Just absolutely incredible! If you want to get a glimpse of what heaven may sound like while still on earth, then this is A MUST LISTEN TO. This female pianist may have been born in Poland but I swear she's from a different universe. Just mind blowing...
The phrase "oceanic feeling" refers to "a sensation of ‘eternity’", a feeling of "being one with the external world as a whole" (Wikipedia). This is what happens here. Thank you so much
ich habe mich in den 90ern viel damit beschäftigt und versucht, es durch klangteppiche zu erzeugen, indem ich echogitarren auf vielen spuren gleichzeitig aber unabhänging voneinander aufgenommen und dann zusammengemischt habe - mein letzter versuch war mit klangteppichen aus klavierklängen - durch den gebrauch meines computers konnte ich damit tolle dinge erreichen - ich finde es interessant, dass du diesen begriff hier verwendest - klasse! gruß aus dem norden 🙋♂️
I can't even remember how many times I've listened to this magnificent performance, and each time I've been able to draw on its magnificence. Dziękuję bardzo.
To think we watched her create all these sounds. All this from one person. One sitting. Wow… absolutely mesmerizing. She is part of the renaissance of new music that will get us through these upside down times. Thank you Haina…for all of us, please never stop!
It seems like she has not only obtained an amazing capability to express herself with music, but has the the incredible talent to express herself with sound. This was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for putting this out here
Absolutnie niezwykłe i poruszające. Wsłuchując się w Twoją twórczość, mam wrażenie, że trafiam do zupełnie innego, lepszego miejsca na ziemi. Dość nierealnym wydaje się fakt, że w kraju pogrążonym w ciemności i nieszczerości powstaje coś tak czystego i bezpretensjonalnego. Przesiąknięte szczerością i emocjonalnością dźwięki przynoszą ulgę. Niekiedy popłynie łza, ale to tylko potwierdza powyższe. Dziękuję za to.
Chicken skin down my spine. This is real flow, the universe playing through humanity to show that love is the only thing that really matters in this time of global insanity
The transitions between the quiet and the loud are so smooth and the ever constant playing of the same key or keys it just creates such an immersive world that I'm scared to close my eyes because I would get lost in it and never came back. You know beauty when you see it, in this case when you here but what you can see here is her love and passion for the instrument. You can really see she knows it, that she spent more time with the piano than with any other person. I don't know how did love like this was found and how it was managed to be kept alive in this cruel world. I'm impressed, I'm astonished by the BEAUTY.
Odkrycie roku, jak ja doceniam, że mam dobry sprzęt do słuchania muzyki. Utwory Hani to podróż z każdą nutą, pierwszy raz coś takiego przeżywam. Coś pięknego.
Her talent is out of this world. Her music is almost supernatural. Beautiful. **I cannot understand how almost 900 can ppl dislike this video?! Did they even watch it?! Do they have any taste in music lol?
I tell you what's awesome. To be a serious listener of music for most of my 65 years and to still be able to discover more great artists every day.
completely agree.
Absolutely.
*You* are awesome for having the open mind to still be able to experience that! I hope to have the same attitude when I reach your age.

There are no words to describe this, and perhaps we don't need them, just to enjoy and immerse in the magic is enough. . .
"Polish Noir" as some have coined it.
Imagine supporting your child's dreams and one day walking into a hall and watching them be this?
If this popped up on your recommended you have good taste in music.

This is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen. As a professional musician myself it's hard not to appreciate every little detail here and every note in this performance is there for a reason. She really puts her heart into it, beyond magical... still she seem so humble afterwards. Man, I am glad I stumbled upon this today, today is a great day. Peace
Let's hope the artists stay themselves and humble also after they're famous.
Well said drummerchild1!

beautiful. thank you.
@@AndyRoidEU she is still humble she has released 3 very successful albums and been writing and performing pieces for films and theatres for years. She is famous in her own right , she’s great isn’t she :)
@@dirkbogarde7796 exactly my thoughts 💭.....Keith blew my mind 🤯in the 70’s and it happened again 🥂

Thank you Emilio.
I need the lyrics to Leaving
@@zambeziviv68
Are you leaving?
Is there a better place?
I guess
The doors are open, remember to take care
Hold on
I hear the silence in whole this empty space
Like noise
Every whisper and every single breath
Are you leaving?
Is there a better place?
I guess
The doors are open, remember to take care
Hold on
I hear the silence in whole this empty space
Like noise
Every whisper and every single breath
Are you leaving? (Are you leaving?)
Are you leaving there? (Are you leaving there?)
Are you leaving? (Are you leaving?)
Are you leaving there? (Are you leaving there?)
Are you leaving?
Is there a better place?

Thanks Emilio!
@@basilios7391 thanx Basili
I’m 70, never really looking for new music but it finds me, through kids and the (mostly) amazing internet, and so happy to be found. This post is amazing and I’m awed by Hania’s creativity. Many thanks💜💕
I just read an article in the NYT, I think, about why are so many people revisiting our generations music and loving it so much. But it’s always been so. In the 70’s we listened to Stevie wonder, pink Floyd, the white album etc, but many of us also loved and sang and performed, or tried to, Ella Fitzgerald, cole porter, Beethoven and Bolero. I bless the internet daily for how accessible everything is, from Bach to Radiohead. And now this beautiful sound
I listen to all that and was born in 82. If you're a real human I send you love and respect. If your bot, fuck you.
Wow, thank you for sharing your wisdom. I do often have the thought "man the music of past generations was SO much better." But I guess maybe that's because we've had more time to love it, but that doesn't mean modern music won't be remembered in the same way one day.
Thanks for being so staight forward life is so simple if we are following our own heart and feelings
Jo en tinc 73, i estic completament d'acord amb el que dius. No puc deixar d'escoltarla. Magnific!!!!
@@godiegolem Had a long talk with some friends on this subject and we came to the realization that it isn't that music today won't be remembered because it is "bad", but that instead there is just so much out there that some of the artists with the most talent and vision are swept by without us realizing.
Amazing, just discover this video, I think it's a must view for all music lovers.
Speechless. This beautiful woman is a testament as to how we need to allow our children to discover their creative selves wholeheartedly....by breaking the rules and experimenting. This child is a true angel and as Mako says "was kissed by the music of god". I am also hooked. This kind of creativity, if multiplied, and expanded, holds the secret to a new and better world.
Yes, and I feel that this world IS coming. The degrading industrial muzak is dying. This kind of freedom and spontaneity of expression is the healing and inspiring music of the next Age.
How beautifully said ❤
Ninakazo, your words are carrying by the vibration of her performance. You expressed very well all sentiments behind it.
Totally agree! 👍👍
Nasz nowy Skarb Narodowy
Ooo taaak
Piękne
I love how she plays the piano as a percussive and melodic instrument simultaneously.
That is pretty much the definition of piano.
Every instrument is a percussion instrument☺️
@@mikeyodonell7036 If I was twelve or Garth, I'd say, "you're a percussion instrument"
@@mikeyodonell7036
Yeah, especially the flute and trumpet...
Good point. She does not play the piano in a traditional way in this piece. I usually think of an acoustic guitar as having the ability to be more of a percussive instrument than a piano because you can use your right hand to play rhytym and get percussive sounds.
Wow. That was one of the most beautiful things that my soul has experienced in a looong time. I just found my spirit animal.
I just want to hear her play ad infinitum. You know when you finish a book and you have that wave of sadness that it's over and you just want to have more of it... that's how I feel after this session ends..
I've been listening to her music constantly while absorbing myself in art projects and I'm so glad I found this music...
I listened today to this live session on my walk in the forest. Sound of light rain and birds singing melted perfectly together with Hania Rani. It felt out of this world. Came home with a smile on my face.
Inspired me to do a park walk in London with this. Thank you!
I feel so honored to say that I am Polish too. Her music make me feel that there is beautiful future ahead of us despite the ugly present.
I'm from Argentina, and I can say to you that music is what kept my sanity throughout these times.
@@lvwpy I am Polish living in Canada for over 30 years. Since I discovered I have been listening to it any time I can.
It’s not about being Polish just about being gifted. 🇵🇱
@@blabla7699 Being Polish I feel an extra connection and appreciation to the genius of the girl and the music.
She's a beauty to look at too. Amazing creative ability. I do wish her a longer and happy life.....we need more!
Ted Gioia sent me. Wow...My subscription to his Substack just returned full value!
Me too. I sometimes struggle with following another’s recommendations but Gioia seems to have his finger on the pulse of my taste. His writing has introduced so much new music and his thoughts on AI are so perceptive. He is the only person I subscribe to on substack but that will change because it is the best forum currently available for free thinkers. Anyway, without the “polish noir” piece, I never would have heard this young woman’s music and that would have been a shame. She is sublime.
@@tonydog4456 same! Who else did he recommend?
This lady got talent. Honestly I thought, classic music was boring and obsolete. This proves me wrong.
This is contemporary..not classical
@@olsim1730All the classical composers were contemporary in their day! Hania may be considered classical in the future, long after we have sailed!
Um es in Filmmethapern auszudrücken: Ich sehe grüne Zeichen herabregnen und weiß, Sie ist die Auserwählte.
This is way beyond classical. . .
A big shout-out to Mateusz Miszczyński for the lovely visuals and to Agata and Piotr for the sound recording and mixing.
She just blows me away....there is noone better than Hani currently...beautiful performance
I want this for my life's soundtrack 💜
Beautiful!
Hey Rick!
@@capi_xaba04 it's a small world!
@@artesonora9873 It is indeed
Love your channel. Cool to see you are a TH-cam surfer as well. Keep up the great content!!
Agreed, the music is pretty great also! ; )
7:16 There is some magic going on here. The stone teletransports itself from the key to the top of the synth, and the cables on the top right move about a little
I saw that too, good eye mate
Noticed it also
I was searching for this comment so I didn't have to say it. Thank you.
Okay so what happened there ? Any explanations?
@@amrindersingh5952 well, magic obviously
I have been pretty down the last few years--numb and unable to cry . When listening to this for the first time the other night, I felt something very beautiful, just the absolute joy that comes from the gift of music. My heart opened a little, Thank you, Hania
I hope you're doing much better, Tori. Take care of yourself
❤❤❤❤❤
Had a quite similar experience just now. Thank you so much!
That ripple of joy is the universal source [God]. He/She comes to us in many forms. Please let us all open our hearts and surrender, when you resist less, it becomes a release and natural joy will come into your life. Release your cares and burdens because they are temporary distractions.
Im the same! Just discovered Hania and my all senses and soul woke up after past dark 3 years. can u imagine? her talent touch my soul literally omg amazing🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Ryuichi Sakamoto, Olafurs Arnolds, Alexandre Desplat, Abel Korzeniowski, Bill Evans--these are the only other artists who can move me like this! Absolutely soul-wrenching!
exactly.
Nils Frahm?
@@measures_of_distance Good one! I just discovered Nils in the past three months, so I don't know his music as well, yet.
Saw her perform last night in LA. What a show! Met her and she was gracious to sign my record and take a picture with me. What a sweet personality and such incredible talent. Wish her all the success in the world.
In soul when they talk about being in the zone, this is it, this is the zone.
Wow, this young woman was kissed by the god of music. I am hooked.
Listened to her for the first time today.. She´s pure magic! :)
Collab with Jacob Collier, imagine that
Breathtaking! 😲
@@fonduetimemachine3331 yes !!!
@Lothar Lustig How do you know?🤔
Hania doesn’t play [the] music, she IS the music, breathing it. Impressive! What a talent, amazing!
This is not piano playing.
This is emotional expression.
Hypnotic.
It touches the spiritual.
Isnt it what we humans got instruments for? Or maybe I am fooling myself. ;)
@@IamLove55 yes - I also think so!
well said!! absolutely correct
@@IamLove55 Things aren't so abvious these days, so it's good to point out the things we are afraid to say to teach our children.
@@IamLove55 But not all people who play musical instruments can reach that spirituality in their music, on the contrary the most cannot.
I can't believe this just showed up on my screen. Like something from the heavens. Pure genius.
literally 🌞
Tripping the lights
Proof..we are not alone
Me it's the same
CUANTA HERMOSA MELODIA Y VOZ
Sounds like water... A river flowing... Inexplicably beautiful.
This is usually called .. minimalism.
@@AndyRoidEU though I get what you're saying, there's nothing minimal about this.
@@AndyRoidEU Doesn't help to put labels on it. I find her quite original and individual in her style.
As a longtime fan of Philip Glass, this sounds absolutey brilliant, and takes me back to the 80s, when i would listen to Glassworks over and over and over.
And, what a recording space!
Audiophile and architect here. This is pure bliss. That beautiful woman plays all the right notes in an incredible room. Props to the designer.
I don’t know what just happened…. I heard a note played repeatedly with an unorthodox muting technique I’ve never seen. A voice spoke and I was taken back by how gentle she sounded compared to the pure emotional storm from her music. A few notes on an analog synth were played and a stone was placed to sustain a rhythmic note and an arpeggio played.. She sang as well. Today is a good day.
If you like how the piano soundet you should give gogo penguin a try. Raven is one of my all time favourite tracks.
If i could send a thousand thumbs up. Wow she is magical.
exactly! i thought her voice would sound so mature and womanly
I was kinda surprised when the rock teleported back to its original location at 7:17. WTF?
@@kevincrady2831 you noticed too?
Her mastery of the keys is amazing , her control of dynamic range is sensitive and impeccable , and first time I've seen a pianist mute the strings for effect . . wOw
Nils Frahm?
@@abaranihei2608 Thank you, I was going to say the same thing 😄
Когда натыкаешься на такие шедевры этот миг хочется ставить на перемотку снова и снова, спасибо.
I can’t believe she made this sound with just a single piano and bare hand. So experimental and i love it.
it's not just that is it. there's electronics involved here. repeating, looping.. etc. it's stil brilliant, but technologically there's more going on here..
@@NightLetterLondonand I finally found the life of the party, Mr. Has to Take Everything Literally.
Stumbled across this as sitting on a train journey across England. I am now crying my eyes out watching the pure genius of this musician. Dont want this journey to end.........
I've travelled on English trains too, lucky to get one, I feel your pain 😂😉🍀🎶
@National Socialist the tears of frustration for the English train system, and the tears of joy for the beautiful sounds she creates.
@@invinciblesticks poetic and profound, I hope you find solace.
The first time I heard this, I thought to myself thank god for everything that ever happened that led me to this very moment. If the point of my existence was to live to hear this, it's good enough for me.
The beauty of this comes from the fact that if this was never recorded and it was just her performing in this empty room....she would be just as proud of what art she just created
She is one of the best improvisational pianists I've ever seen. She has an incredible ability to create intuitive music.
It’s not an improvisation
Couldn't agree more this sends me somewhere else her energy is amazing 🤩
Find her Malasana with Dobrawa
@@mattiaborda It was the first time she played it, correct? Or did she actually write the music before playing it?
@@CrunchyMom88 She wrote the music before. The first one is called Hawaii Oslo and is from an album she released in 2019
I am 60 years old and fascinated by your music. A great moment of music.
Malasana with Dobrawa
If this is the future of great composers I can actually find hope for the first time in decades. Thank you Hania!
Amen.
Totally. Duprez, Palestrina, Bach, Mahler...Rani.
Does that mean you do not like composers like Hans Zimmer or Yann Tiersen?
@@nilsp9426 Oh, I like them fine. I would consider them our current standard. Hania is just going to push the boundaries of tradition even further, which is what I really like. Also, they are nearly 2x her age. Different generations.
@@erichaberman3812 All fine, I am just always reluctant to ever accept the "lately music has been shitty" argument. There is too much music to just judge a cohort, unless you are extremely specific about the genre.
A masterpiece to say the least i know cause tears are streaming down my face❤️♾️For the Love of music and beautiful souls as this.
At such moments, words lose their power.
She is a piano genius. Just like Olafur Arnalds. Music has taken over their hearths and nothing else can. ❤
I couldn’t stop listening. Medicine for the soul. ☘️
Agreed!!!
Idem e condivido
I just found this. Bless her and everyone that resonates with this
This makes me want to “do my own thing” more than ever, not caring what people think, like she’s giving me permission to just play the real music in my heart, even though it might be different than what people want and expect from me.
Total aside: I hope “my own thing” sounds a little bit like Hania!
Real music is all inside us, real musicians, carriers of the sonic message of the divine. Don't fear yourself, play till your soul is healed.
Do it man, do it, i feel the same way.
Ma sai che hai proprio ragione!!! Non potevo spiegarmelo meglio.
I really really feel you here. Hope you will find (if not yet) your unique sound!🙏🏻
Amen to that!
Oh God! Modern Day Studio Technology is just unbelievable! The Sound is so fuckin wide, deep and huge, i was completely paralysed throughout the whole video. That was just sooo good!!!
I don't know what else to listen to anymore...
My sentiments exactly. Listening to this reminded me of the movie "Koyaanisqatsi" made in 1982. That movie made me think no other movie can live up to it. It is not even using the medium in the same way, somehow. It just IS.
This music moves me in ways that I cannot express. The performance is breathtaking.
facts
It's certainly hard to find the words.
It takes me somewhere else when I listen and watch 🔥
You know that feeling when you are fully engulfed in a book or film and it feels as if you lived through the story yourself. When you finish the story you wonder, well if that wasn’t real life then and I even living right now? That’s what connecting to this music feels like to me. Vulnerable, raw, and ethereal
This is musicology and one of the wonderful proof of the music's infinity.
There are no words…….I’ve searched everywhere within myself……you are a cosmic gift….you must’ve been born within the stars and now bless us with your Being. 🙏❤️
J ai jamais vue ça de va vue c est un don du ciel et don de l acoustique une recherche inépuisable sur le son et talent fou à couper le souffle vraiment elle mérite ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's wonderful to see a formally schooled, accomplished, musician fusing modern technology with traditional instruments and performance sensibilities. This is breathtaking, achingly beautiful, music.
20:28
It feels like I'm witnessing that moment when an artist is overcome by, and completely gives themselves over to, whatever spirit moves through them.
The flow state :)
It’s like there’s a god playing through her body and soul!
When everything falls apart the one thing you know that can never die is music.
It is not her playing music, it is the music playing her. Amazing, fantastic, I have never heard anything like this.
find her nad Dobrawa Czechor
@@ewapater4546 It's Dobrawa Czocher, the chellist, I know her too.
In Rome the called this genius - a force that takes over the artist and creates using him as a device ;)
You may enjoy Nils Frahm, Air and FKJ.
This. This is exactly what is happening here.
When you take, Keith Jarret, Esbjörn Svensson and a brother as Nils Frahm, you get a sister and daughter like this. Pure joy!
And Ravel and very distant echoes of Arnalds and Messiaen
A 25 min long journey for my heart.
So glad that there are true musicians like you. Playing with skills with an angelic voice and connecting to a deeper spiritual level. Stay as you are. You don't make music. You are music.
WOW! Just absolutely incredible! If you want to get a glimpse of what heaven may sound like while still on earth, then this is A MUST LISTEN TO.
This female pianist may have been born in Poland but I swear she's from a different universe. Just mind blowing...
She is trancendence personified
dont stay as you are. develop and grow further and further....
The phrase "oceanic feeling" refers to "a sensation of ‘eternity’", a feeling of "being one with the external world as a whole" (Wikipedia). This is what happens here. Thank you so much
👍
ich habe mich in den 90ern viel damit beschäftigt und versucht, es durch klangteppiche zu erzeugen, indem ich echogitarren auf vielen spuren gleichzeitig aber unabhänging voneinander aufgenommen und dann zusammengemischt habe - mein letzter versuch war mit klangteppichen aus klavierklängen - durch den gebrauch meines computers konnte ich damit tolle dinge erreichen - ich finde es interessant, dass du diesen begriff hier verwendest - klasse!
gruß aus dem norden 🙋♂️
I can't even remember how many times I've listened to this magnificent performance, and each time I've been able to draw on its magnificence.
Dziękuję bardzo.
She’s an oasis in our desert universe. Thanks a lot for being.
Amen.
Hania Rani is already an icon of neo classical music which is soooo beautiful aah ♡♡♡
To think we watched her create all these sounds. All this from one person. One sitting. Wow… absolutely mesmerizing. She is part of the renaissance of new music that will get us through these upside down times. Thank you Haina…for all of us, please never stop!
You should watch Nils frahm, he's also amazing.
It seems like she has not only obtained an amazing capability to express herself with music, but has the the incredible talent to express herself with sound. This was amazing to watch. Thank you so much for putting this out here
Absolutnie niezwykłe i poruszające. Wsłuchując się w Twoją twórczość, mam wrażenie, że trafiam do zupełnie innego, lepszego miejsca na ziemi. Dość nierealnym wydaje się fakt, że w kraju pogrążonym w ciemności i nieszczerości powstaje coś tak czystego i bezpretensjonalnego. Przesiąknięte szczerością i emocjonalnością dźwięki przynoszą ulgę. Niekiedy popłynie łza, ale to tylko potwierdza powyższe. Dziękuję za to.
What beautiful words
Sums this up nicely
Thanks God for Poland and the wonders of music, literature, film,
etc. that keep coming from there. Dziękuję bardzo
I never ever thank nations. only Persons...
I am so humbled by the depth of sound and melodies. I just want to share this treasure with those I know who will appreciate.
same here 😊
I feel the same.
Agreed
You should check Hauschka too. Greetings!

From South-Africa: Absolutely Brilliant!
Chicken skin down my spine. This is real flow, the universe playing through humanity to show that love is the only thing that really matters in this time of global insanity
Amen to that. Peace & Blessings to you, friend.
The universe playing through humanity.... mmmmmm..... good words brethren
You couldn't have put it into better words. Love to you from the whole universe.......
Kippenvel is "goosebumps" in English, just FYI :)
The transitions between the quiet and the loud are so smooth and the ever constant playing of the same key or keys it just creates such an immersive world that I'm scared to close my eyes because I would get lost in it and never came back. You know beauty when you see it, in this case when you here but what you can see here is her love and passion for the instrument. You can really see she knows it, that she spent more time with the piano than with any other person. I don't know how did love like this was found and how it was managed to be kept alive in this cruel world. I'm impressed, I'm astonished by the BEAUTY.
To jest piękne ❤ dziękuję Bogu za zmysł słuchu, dzięki któremu mogę przeżywać tą muzykę całym ciałem. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Tak to prawda. Pozdrawiam
Muzyczne uniesienie nie ma sobie rownych..
Odkrycie roku, jak ja doceniam, że mam dobry sprzęt do słuchania muzyki.
Utwory Hani to podróż z każdą nutą, pierwszy raz coś takiego przeżywam.
Coś pięknego.
na czym słuchasz?
Her talent is out of this world. Her music is almost supernatural. Beautiful.
**I cannot understand how almost 900 can ppl dislike this video?! Did they even watch it?! Do they have any taste in music lol?
100%!!! I was about to write the same comment.
Same
To be honest, who cares about the dislikes. This magical music just annihilates them :)
They were moved to tears and clicked the wrong button... 😢
