An essential companion to her latest album, Motion EP by Vanessa Wagner revisits in depth “Motion” a piece released by Rone in 2019. The pianist leaves behind the electronic fireworks, and the epic accompaniment of Les Siècles orchestra of the original version to focus on its minimal and Glassian* foundation. With an audacious choice of rhythms, but always precise and intense in her playing, Vanessa unfurls a great movement, between technicality and contemplation, letting the sound textures resurface to better spatialize the listener’s experience. 

On the B-side, Japanese producer Kaito lifts spiritually “Motion” higher into the sky, doing justice to Vanessa’s arrangements while swirling the composition in a particularly cosmic and immersive synth wave.

About Motion : The original piece was released in 2019 and is based on a collaboration between electronic producer Rone, arranger Romain Allander, Les Siècles orchestra conducted by Francois Xavier Roth and the pianist Vanessa Wagner.
