"33" is the new piano-oriented project by maverick musician, artist and filmmaker Hans Fjellestad. Fjellestad's relationship with the piano began in 1973, at age 5. In this new collection of 13 tracks he attacks the instrument, inside and out, with bows, plectra, slides, loose change, electronics, fists, fingers, megaphone, computer and whatever was handy, accompanied by synthesizers, accordion, sampler and field recordings from across the globe. "33" is no shuttle service to the expected solo piano spaces. This is an exploration of uncharted textures and strange tangents that often venture far from the piano keyboard into fantastical electronic soundscapes, but eventually always returning to the black and whites, hammers and strings, the source. Track Listing and Audio Clips To hear the audio you need the RealPlayer and a 28.8kbps connection or better. If you don't already have the RealPlayer you can download it for free.

"This is an exciting album - it takes the concept of a solo piano album and runs rings around it." - Jeremy Keens, Ampersand Etcetera
"If there's a thread that runs through 33, it's one of tenacity and
exploration... and there's an impressive level of risk-taking going on
here. 33 is fascinating and full of energy..."
"There's heaps of fascinating sonic jetsam in Fjellestad's little
resonance-boxes, rewarding listening over and over again."
"...unfolds like cinema for the ear."
