Hania Rani - Ghosts

my role: recording

Hania came to my studio full of idea’s. We had a Bechstein grand piano and a Hoffmann T122 and lotsa synths to play with and we embarked on a musical journey.

“With “Ghosts” I wanted to start something from scratch, picking tools and stories I was not familiar with, but which felt dear to me. “Ghosts” is a story about life and death, light and darkness, real and unreal. It’s an attempt to touch ultimate qualities and craft my own mythologies; to face fears, take a deep dive into things that scare me but also seduce me subconsciously. “Ghosts” collects all of these things together, mixing the past, present and the future into a new sound of mine.”

And recording her beautiful voice was such a treat…:

You can watch some behind-the-scenes footage from our recording session here. It was mesmerizing to witness her focus, dedication, and the joy she brings to every note. There was an undeniable sense of magic in the air, and maybe even a few friendly studio ghosts?!

ps. I ended up buying that extraordinary beautiful Hoffmann T122 and it is still in my studio. #pianodreams
