Lubomyr Melnyk – Evertina (10″)

Vinyl, 10″, 33 ⅓ RPM, EP

10″ version. Erased Tapes first introduced Lubomyr Melnyk and his unique continuous music technique to a wider audience with Corollaries (ERATP 048 CD/LP), an album produced by Peter Broderick in 2013. Now he returns with a 24-minute mini-album entitled Evertina.

Featuring three newly-composed solo piano pieces, the long-form EP showcases another side to Lubomyr Melnyk – his more gentle and melodic work. In 2012 Lubomyr's ears began to notice the remarkable tonal depth of upright pianos. To Lubomyr the upright piano sound is like a natural forest of microcosmic colors. “Evertina” and “Awaiting” were created on a middle-aged upright piano at a friend's home in New York in October 2012 – just before Hurricane Sandy hit the city.
