Verve

Currently based in Berlin, Sebastian Plano is an internationally acclaimed Argentinian composer and musician. Whilst from a classically trained background, his work is hugely varied and informed equally by electronic music, as well as artists as varied as Radiohead, Arvo Pärt, Talk Talk, Jeff Buckley plus folk music and Argentinian Tango and its proponents such as Astor Piazzolla. The record was composed, produced and performed entirely by Plano, in his studio in Berlin. As he explains, "Music isn't just about sound; the tone and phrasing are critical when it comes to writing music." To make 'Verve', Plano had to reach an acceptance that an album isn't always just a collection of music: it's a document of performances. 'Verve' is Plano's most ambitious work to date.
