Hania Rani makes stunning music that is haunted, but enchanted. The Polish pianist and composer blurs the strains of ambient, classical and home — submerged beats pulse underneath ripples of piano, synths and her delicate voice. She repeatedly performs in live performance halls throughout Europe, however throughout an American tour she introduced the cinematic, but intimate songs of her album Ghosts to the Tiny Desk.
Rani is conservatory skilled, however like so many neo-classical artists working proper now, brings her personal influences to centuries-old custom. The best way her fingers chromatically surge in a cascade of shade counsel the later compositions of Mozart — someway lush and elegant of their pressure, getting ready to one thing completely different. However there’s additionally a restlessness in how Rani, accompanied by Ziemowit Klimek on upright bass and synth, bounces between the piano and synths with ease and sometimes throughout the similar music. She is a marvel to look at.
